The Atlanta Braves are off to a disastrous start this season, opening the year with a 3-9 record. The Braves already find themselves five games out of first place in early April. Fortunately, the team should receive some serious reinforcements soon.
Former National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. is nearing his return. He’s expected to meet with doctors early next week and be cleared for “lateral movement and quick start/stop running,” according to Braves reporter Grant McAuley on X. Atlanta should be able to establish a timeline for his rehab assignment and eventual return to the lineup once he's cleared to run.
