Atlanta Braves’ outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is making progress in his recovery from his second torn ACL, expressing optimism about his return to the field. The 2023 MVP mentioned that he is at around 90-95% in his rehabilitation following surgery, according to the Associated Press.
“I feel great,” Acuña stated. “When they tell me I need to be there, I’ll be there.”
Acuña suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in May 2024 and underwent surgery shortly after. Reflecting on a previous injury to his other knee in 2021, Acuña returned to play after a few months of recovery. The Braves are taking a cautious approach this time, aiming for a full recovery before his return to the lineup.

The Braves are hopeful for a strong comeback season, with Acuña’s return playing a crucial role in their offensive lineup.
