Ronald Acuña Jr. will fly to Los Angeles to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday, after an MRI showed irritation to the meniscus in his right knee.
The Atlanta Braves outfielder sustained the injury during a rundown between second and third base in Thursday’s game versus the Minnesota Twins.
“As of this moment – everyone is going to want to know timelines – we expect him to be ready for opening day, barring new information or something else,” Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Saturday via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
