Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. wanted to clear up an awkward situation before he returns to the team. Acuña — who is on a rehab assignment after a torn ACL — said he apologized to Braves teammates, and manager Brian Snitker, over a social-media post sent out by the outfielder in April.
That post called out Snitker for a double standard. With the team struggling, outfielder Jarred Kelenic hit what he thought was a home run during an April 19 game vs. the Minnesota Twins. He started jogging out of the batter's box before he realized the ball wasn't going to leave the park.
