Braves Star Ronald Acuña Jr. to Return Friday From Left Knee Injury
- Ronald Acuña Jr. Will make his 2025 season debut Friday for the Atlanta Braves at home against the San Diego Padres after nearly a year sidelined by a left knee ACL injury.
- Acuña tore his left knee ACL on May 26, 2024, underwent surgery on June 6, and completed a rehab stint of six minor league games before activation.
- The Braves cleared a roster spot by designating 30-year-old infielder Orlando Arcia for assignment, who lost his starting position due to offensive and defensive struggles this season.
- At 27, Acuña is a four-time All-Star and the unanimous 2023 NL MVP who batted.336 while hitting 41 home runs and stealing 73 bases, making him the first player in MLB history to record at least 40 home runs and 70 stolen bases in a single season.
- Acuña's return strengthens the Braves' lineup as they aim to overcome a slow start and compete in a tough National League with 113 games left this season.
