Acuña Jr.

is out of the season after all
Ronald Acuña Jr. (27, Atlanta Braves), who became the MVP of the National League last year, was eventually out for the season due to a knee injury.
The official major league website MLBcom said on the 27th (Korean time) that Acuña Jr. was diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.
Earlier, Acuña Jr. complained of serious pain after collapsing while running the base in the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 27th.
The seriously injured Acuña Jr. did not get up for some time, but fortunately left the stadium without being stretchered or helped.
However, the result of the examination was the worst. Acuña Jr. underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) immediately after the injury, and received the worst result: an anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
Now Acuña Jr. is expected to undergo surgery on his left knee immediately and then start rehabilitation with the aim of returning to the opening game of the 2025 season.
Earlier in the summer of 2021, Acuña Jr. was out for the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He also injured his right knee again in the exhibition game.
Acuña Jr. could not overcome the slump of this season. He had a batting average of 0.250, four homers and 15 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.351 and 0.716 in 49 games through Tuesday.
His poor performance was incomparably lower than last year's OPS of 0.1012, and his injuries suffered. Acuña Jr. faced the worst situation since his debut. https://www.totositenet.com/
