Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. is dealing with some irritation around his meniscus in his surgically repaired right knee. The reigning NL MVP underwent an MRI on Friday and is set to be evaluated on Monday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed the repair on Acuña's torn right ACL in July 2021.
The 26-year-old Acuña is anticipated to be prepared for the commencement of the regular season, although this timeline may be subject to adjustment following his consultation with ElAttrache in California.
