National League MVP continues to show strong progression in his recovery, but the Braves continue to be cautious with their star

With spring training approaching, star Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. provided a key injury update as he recovers from a torn ACL.

Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said that outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) won't play in any spring training games but might serve as the designated hitter in some games on the backfields.

Amid comparisons to Ronald Acuña Jr. in spring training, Mets star Juan Soto is focused on all the right things rather than outside chatter.

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr.'s brother, Luisangel Acuna, made headways in his MLB career after making his debut with the New York Mets in 2024.

Once Acuña returns to the active roster there are no plans to have him DH any regular-season games, Alex Anthopoulos said.

What risk is Acuña absorbing if he pushes his limits? And regarding how well he can play, it’s almost a given that he won’t be at the stratospheric level he reached in 2023.

We've seen the videos throughout the offseason, but now we've heard Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. say it: He feels great in his recovery from a torn left

Ronald Acuna Jr. has placed his return to baseball on the front burner as the 2023 National League MVP says his surgically repaired left knee is 90-95 percent healthy. That's a pretty swift recovery considering he tore the ACL in the knee approximately 8 1/2 months ago.
