Ronald Acuna Jr breaks silence on long-awaited return from ACL injury

The Atlanta Braves began the 2025 season still recovering from the spate of injuries the team suffered last year. First Atlanta got starting pitcher Spencer Strider back in the rotation after a long layoff following elbow surgery last April. And now, the Braves will welcome back Ronald Acuna Jr., as the former MVP will make his 2025 season debut Friday.

Acuna opened up about the Braves’ decision to activate him from the injured list and get him back in the lineup, telling reporters what he’s missed the most during his time away from baseball.
