Atlanta Braves' star Ronald Acuña Jr. returns to play nearly a year after his ACL injury.

Ronald Acuña Jr., the Atlanta Braves' 2023 National League MVP, is set to return to the team on Friday, nearly a year after tearing his ACL. Acuña, who has been recovering and playing rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett, will make his season debut just days before the anniversary of his injury. The Braves will face the San Diego Padres in a three-game series. Acuña's return is a significant boost for the team, as he had an impressive 2023 season with 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases.
