The Atlanta Braves have been waiting for their star player to return to the mound, and they'll have to wait no longer. Ronald Acuna Jr. has been activated off the injured list, and he will play in the Braves’ series opener against the San Diego Padres on May 23.
Manager Brian Snitker spoke about Acuna's return and how he feels leading up to his debut with the team.
“They double checked with him [pregame] and decided, rather than him playing a game tonight in Louisville and taking tomorrow off, [he’ll] take today off and come play with us tomorrow,” Snitker said via MLB.
