The Atlanta Braves, who have climbed out of the cellar after an 0-7 start to the season, are set to get even better in the coming week.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Braves (23-23), are expecting the return of Ronald Acuna Jr.
Acunu0303a, who is recovering from his second ACL tear, should be able to return in time for Atlanta’s next home stand beginning May 23.
That would be a big boost for a Braves roster that is trying to make a deep playoff run despite the slow start. Acuna just started his rehab assignment this week and is currently playing with Triple-A Gwinnett.
