ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves announced late Thursday night that Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the game and is expected to hit the field at Truist Park on Friday.
This will be the 2025 debut for the Braves’ All-Star outfielder, who has been out for nearly a full year after he tore his ACL last May and had surgery.
Acuna started a rehab assignment last week with the Gwinnett Stripers, batting .400 with two homers and two RBIs in 15 at-bats over a six-game span.
