The Atlanta Braves recently received a boost with the return of 2023 league MVP Ronald Acuna Jr., who had been out since May of last season with a torn ACL. Acuna wasted no time making his presence known, crushing the first pitch he saw into the seats for a home run vs the San Diego Padres and following that up with another home run in Game 2 of the series.
The Braves are hoping that with Acuna now back in the lineup, they'll be able to continue to make up ground in the NL playoff standings after their horrendous 0-7 start to the year, which threatened to end the season before it even began.
