The Atlanta Braves announced on Monday that outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee, effectively ending his season. The reigning NL MVP sustained the injury during the Braves' game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Acuña, who had previously torn his right ACL in July 2021, suffered the injury while attempting to return to second base after a stolen base attempt. An MRI revealed a complete tear of the ACL, necessitating surgery for the 26-year-old outfielder.
