The Atlanta Braves are eagerly awaiting injury news on star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr.. Acuña won NL MVP last season, but also has an extensive injury history. Any hiccup before Opening Day could vastly impact Atlanta’s chances this coming season.
Acuña Jr.’s meniscus scare will receive another look, as he’s set to get a second opinion this week. While the initial prognosis suggested that he wouldn’t miss Opening Day, the Braves aren’t so sure. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that Acuña Jr. will see a specialist which could very well determine his fate.
“Ronald Acuna’s right knee certainly has Atlanta officials concerned. He will fly to Los Angeles to undergo an examination by Dr. Neal ElAttrache to determine the cause of irritation around the meniscus in his surgically-repaired right knee. If arthroscopic surgery is needed he’ll open the season on the injured list.”
As Nightengale notes, any surgery would force Acuña out of action for at least a month, if not more. If so, the Braves need to be prepared.
