Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. recently made his highly-anticipated return from injury. Suffering a torn ACL in his left knee on May 26, 2024, Acuna missed nearly an entire year of action. Returning on May 23 of this year, Acuna homered in his first at-bat, and has since been one of MLB's most productive hitters.
In 10 games since his return, Acuna is hitting .342 with three home runs and a 1.036 OPS. Atlanta still sits 5.5 games out of the final National League Wild Card spot, but Acuna's return has injected some increased belief that a postseason spot is not too far out of reach.
