The Atlanta Braves have signed a journeyman outfielder in the wake of the Ronald Acuña Jr. season-ending injury.
The Atlanta Braves have to replace one of baseball's best players for the second time in three years.Reigning National League Most Valuable Player Ronald Acuña Jr. is out for the season with a torn ACL, his second such injury in the last three years. Acuña Jr. missed half of 2021 and the beginning of the 2022 season as he returned from his first ACL tear which he suffered in July 2021. Now, he'll miss the remainder of 2024, and likely the beginning of 2025.
The Braves have three outfielders currently on the roster in Duvall, Michael Harris II, and Jarred Kelenic, but there's a chance they look for more help before the deadline to try to replicate 2021's success — and they've already started.On Wednesday, the Braves signed journeyman outfielder Ramón Laureano, who was designated for assignment and then released by the Cleveland Guardians. They signed him to a minor league deal, per the team's transaction log.
