The Atlanta Braves are hoping to clinch a postseason spot. There is no question that Atlanta has not played up to their expectations, though. Part of that is due to Ronald Acuna Jr.'s injury absence, as he was ruled out for the season in May with a torn ACL. Acuna provided an update on his injury Thursday, via Mark Bowman of MLB.com.
“I think [I'm] going to be patient,” Acuna said. “We’re really going to focus on my hitting and fielding and anything I can do to help the team win. In regards to running and stealing those bases, I don’t know if I’ll be able to steal the 40 or 50 bags as easily.
