The Atlanta Braves expect Ronald Acuna Jr. to be ready for Opening Day after a medical evaluation confirmed that the superstar outfielder does not have a serious knee injury.
The Braves announced Tuesday that Dr. Neal ElAttrache has confirmed the team's initial diagnosis of irritation in the meniscus of Acuna's right knee.
Acuna has been sidelined since Friday because of knee soreness, but the Braves say that the reigning National League MVP will "gradually increase baseball activities" and that they expect him to play in their March 28 season opener against the Philadelphia Phillies.
