Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. went 1-for-3 with a double in his first rehab appearance Tuesday night for Triple-A Gwinnett.
Acuna, returning from a torn ACL, batted leadoff for the visiting Stripers, flying out to center field in his first at bat, doubling off the wall in right-center in his second and then finishing his evening with a groundout to third.
He was replaced in right field in the sixth inning.
Pitching for Jacksonville was 23-year-old righty Max Meyer, ESPN's 33rd-ranked overall prospect. The Jumbo Shrimp won, 2-0.
Speaking after the game, Acuna said he was excited to be back on the field for the first time since tearing his right ACL in July 2021.
