NORTH PORT, Fla. -- Ronald Acuña Jr. met with the Atlanta Braves' medical staff on the afternoon of May 26 and burst into tears when he was told he had suffered a complete tear of the ACL in his left knee. But by the time his Venezuela-based trainer, Juan Aular, heard from him later that night, Acuña was composed. He had accepted his fate, taken comfort in knowing precisely what to expect and was convinced a better version of himself was waiting on the other side. "We're gonna do this again," Acuña told Aular, the man who guided him through the torn ACL on his right knee less than three years earlier.
