Ronald Acuna Jr. Earns New Nickname From MLB During Braves Game

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. missed about a year of action after he tore his ACL last May. But he's back now, and he appears to be rounding into shape.

On Monday, the Braves defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 in Wisconsin, and Acuna had two hits in three at-bats, which included a home run in the fifth inning when they started to take control of the game.

It was his fifth home run in 16 games this year, as well as his eighth run batted in. Major League Baseball gave him a new nickname on X: Ronald Aura Jr.
