As the Atlanta Braves try to chase the New York Mets, one of their key players was surprisingly absent for the last two games. Ronald Acuna Jr, the team’s star leadoff hitter, has been out for the team’s last two games against the St. Louis Cardinals. That is a worrying sign for Atlanta, who sorely missed Acuna’s hitting in those games.
So, why was Ronald Acuna Jr out for the last few games for the Braves? Well, the reason is due to some recurring issues regarding his ACL injury a year ago. The star right fielder revealed that he was battling with intense pain from his right knee.
