Ronald Akunia Jr. One day after he returned to Truist Park. The Brave scraped Acuña from his sixth recovery on Triple-A Gwinnett. Danielálvarez-Montes of El Extrabase reported that Acuña is meeting with the Atlanta team. Francys Romero added that the Braves intend to activate him from the injured roster before tomorrow’s series opener against Padres.
Three days before the first anniversary of the Acuña’s ACL tear breakup at the end of the season. On May 26, 2024, he tore the ligament in his left knee while bluffing the base’s attempt. This is the second time in his seven-year career that he has been shortened by a devastating knee injury. Acuña tore the ACL on his right knee in July 2021, giving him a spot in the World Series.
Acuña recovered from his first ACL tear for faster rewards. He is restored by the end of April 2022. He showed some signs of rust during the year and reached .266/.351/.413 the rest of the time. This is much lower than his 2018-21 production. He then won the best season of his career and won the 2023 NL MVP Award. Last season, he started slowly, hitting .250/.351/.365 in 49 games.
Acuña’s second ACL recovery has allowed the Brave to take things slower. He did not record any game moves in spring training and spent the first two months of the season in Illinois. Atlanta sent him to their complex 10 days ago to start his rehabilitation mission. He played a game there before reporting to Gwennet, where he collected five hits and made seven walks in five games. The Braves have obviously seen enough to stuff him into Brian Snitker’s roster, presumably his usual lead.
Alex Verdugo Every day when playing on the left, I keep placing the order on the order. He fought for the second consecutive year. Verdugo hit .257/.314/.330 with 118 sets. That’s comparable to his .233/.291/.356 hits the line in a disappointing match against the Yankees last season.
Acuña has been a full-time right-hander for the past six decades. He will return to that position Eli White It has entered regular game time. He can slide to the left field and cut into Verdugo’s rep. White hit .311/.367/.600 with eight additional hits in April. His bat cooled down this month (.269/.310/.358, no home runs), but that’s still a little better than what Verdugo offers.
White hit the right-handed but got a better advantage without a rank-and-out throughout his career. As expected, the left and right hits to the right are much better. Jurickson Profar Will return from his PED suspension in July. He will probably return to his daily left field work, although he will not be eligible for the playoffs if the Warriors qualify.
Atlanta has returned to .500 after the start of 0-7 this season. They are the NL’s final wildcard seat for three games, which they will be held tomorrow for the welcome team. San Diego swept the brave game in four games, but they scored six straight wins in the series this weekend.
Technically, the brave just need to create an active roster for Acuña from 10-day IL return, but they’ll likely be able to designate someone to assign tomorrow. Drake Baldwin and Michael Harris II It is the only batsman in the active roster with a minor league choice. Luke Williams,,,,, Stuart Fairchild and Orlando Arcia All are chosen, with little time on the bench in recent weeks.
