NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. will miss the rest of the MLB season after tearing his ACL during Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team announced on Sunday.
Atlanta Braves outfielder and reigning National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. will miss the rest of the Major League Baseball season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament during Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team announced on Sunday night. The 26-year-old right fielder led the game off with a double. When teammate Marcell Ozuna was up to bat, Acuña tried to steal third base, but his leg buckled awkwardly.
” Acuña, who tore his right ACL in 2021, said after the game that he felt the injury wasn’t as severe this time around because he didn’t feel the same pain. “You never want to see anybody on any side of the field do that. He’s a big part of this team. He’s one of the best players in the game,” Braves pitcher Chris Sale said after the game. “Sorry,” Acuña posted on X, formerly known as Twitter Sunday night with a broken heart and crying emoji.
