Atlanta Braves fans can exhale some regarding Ronald Acuna Jr.’s health.
The Braves announced Tuesday that the reigning NL MVP recently saw Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who confirmed Acuna is dealing with meniscus irritation in his right knee. Acuna is now set to gradually increase baseball activities and is expected to be ready for Opening Day on March 28, the team adds.
The news was confirmed by Acuna himself, who said that he was feeling fine and even started joking around with reporters about his knee.
