It’s been exactly two weeks since Ronald Acuña Jr. reportedly met with his doctor in Los Angeles and was cleared to resume baseball activities at the Braves’ spring complex in Florida. Since then? Silence.
Aside from the initial report that he was ramping up cutting drills and conditioning, there’s been no clear update from the Braves’ front office or manager Brian Snitker. When asked earlier this week, Snitker simply said there was nothing new to report — contradicting a false social media rumor that claimed Acuña would begin a rehab assignment and be ready to return by May 2 or 3.
