Ronald Acuña Jr. - Page 45 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. tore knee ligament, will have season-ending surgery Ronald Acuña, one of baseball’s best and most exciting players, sustained a complete tear of the ACL in his right knee.

JULY 11, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Out for season with torn ACL Acuna will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn right ACL during Saturday's game against Miami.

Impact The injury initially appeared to be on the serious side, with the star outfielder needing to be carted off the field in pain after landing awkwardly while jumping for a fly ball. Atlanta was holding out hope that his MRI would reveal a less serious issue, but this diagnosis, unfortunately, represents a worst-case scenario for the 23-year-old. Acuna will be sidelined for the remainder of 2021 after undergoing surgery, and it remains to be seen if he'll be ready to participate in spring training come next February.

Homers in big afternoon Acuna went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's 14-3 beatdown of the Pirates.

Impact The 23-year-old's third-inning blast narrowed Pittsburgh's lead to 3-2, and he later crossed home a couple more times as Atlanta poured on the runs in the later innings. Acuna had hit an uncharacteristic .196 in 13 games leading up to Wednesday but appeared to get back on track in the afternoon blowout. His power has hardly dissipated, though, as he's now launched six homers in his last 17 games.

Acuna has homered three times in his last seven games while adding six RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Overall, he's slashing .276/.386/.595 with 23 long balls, 51 RBI, 66 runs scored and 16 stolen bases as Atlanta's leadoff hitter.

Back in lineup Friday Acuna is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Miami after being scratched Thursday with a tight back.

Impact Acuna was originally slated to leadoff Thursday against the Mets but was a late scratch. He wound up entering the game off the bench, recording a single and a walk during two plate appearances. The back issue has arisen twice in the past week, but it appears to be something the outfielder is able to work around for the time being. He'll bat leadoff as the right fielder Friday.

Scratched from Thursday's lineup Acuna was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Mets with back tightness.

Impact Acuna was originally in the lineup and leading off, though he was scratched just prior to first pitch. It's unclear how long he may be sidelined, but it's notable that he was sidelined with a similar issue within the past week. Ehire Adrianza will hit leadoff and play in right field in his place.
