Ronald Acuña Jr., the 2023 National League MVP, is recovering from a torn left ACL sustained during a game on May 26, 2024.
Acuña reports feeling great, estimating his knee's recovery at 90-95%, and is taking batting practice and running at near full effort during Spring Training.
The Braves have not set a definitive timeline for his return, but team officials suggest he could rejoin the lineup in May 2025, depending on his progress.
Acuña has undergone two ACL surgeries in recent years, but team president Alex Anthopoulos believes his extended recovery time and experience will aid his performance upon return.
Despite potential adjustments to his playing style, Acuña remains confident in regaining his elite status and contributing significantly to the Braves' success.
