MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - The wait is finally over for Atlanta Braves fans.
Ronald Acuña Jr. has been activated from the injured list ahead of Friday’s game vs the San Diego Padres.
It was his second ACL injury in less than three full calendar years.
Acuña broke out as a rookie in the big leagues in 2018, winning the National League Rookie of the Year award.
He later dominated in 2023 when he won the National League MVP award in a historic season, becoming the first player to hit 40-plus home runs and steal 70-plus bases in a single season.
