Overview

• Ronald Acuña Jr. personally apologized to Braves manager Brian Snitker and teammates after criticizing Snitker's handling of a baserunning error in a now-deleted tweet.
• Acuña explained that his frustration stemmed from his ongoing ACL rehabilitation and the team's rough start to the 2025 season.
• The tweet highlighted perceived inconsistencies in disciplinary actions, contrasting Snitker's 2019 benching of Acuña with his decision not to address Jarred Kelenic's mistake publicly.
• Acuña has shown promising progress in his rehab, including a home run in his first minor-league game, though no set date for his MLB return has been announced.
• As a franchise cornerstone, Acuña's leadership and presence will be closely watched as he works toward rejoining the Braves lineup.
