Braves All-Star Ronald Acuna Jr. out for season with torn ACL

Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is out for the remainder of the 2021 MLB season with a torn ACL, the club announced late Saturday night.

Acuna will undergo surgery and, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, is expected to miss nine to 10 months.

In the fifth inning of Saturday's win over the Miami Marlins, Acuna attempted to make a leaping grab in right field and landed awkwardly on his right leg.

Ronald Acuña Jr. has left the game with an apparent knee injury after attempting an outfield catch.
