Ronald Acuña Jr. returning from ACL surgery Friday, paving the way for Braves’ continued surge

In 2023, the NL MVP will return to the Large League field for the first time in almost a year. Braves Superstar Ronalstar Ronald Acuña Jr. will take place on Friday, the team announced in DC after loss on Thursday

The return will take place at home, because the courts are hosting the defenders. 15 on and. This comes more than a week later, when this season is more than 0,500 for the first time. They have lost four to three, but, however, from 24-25 falls.

Let’s look at the situation from the point of view of acuña and the bride.

Acuña’s recovery and return

Acuña, of course, the ACL in its left knee last 26 May 26 and has been operated on. It returned in 2021 when he tore his right ACL. It happened in July, and he returned on April 28, 2022.

Back in 2022, Acuña had the worst season of its career at that point. He played in 119 games, but only a war was accumulated. Before that, before the season, he had career options + 138 and on average 6.1 war plays for every 162 games.

Then in 2023, Acuña was one of the best baseball players. He hit .337 / .416 / .596 (171 OPS +) 35 doubles with 41 home departments, 106 RBI, 149 runs, 73 stolen bases եւ 8.4 war, winning NL MVP.

In 2024, he left his standards from a bad start, but it was only 49 games.

In 2022, about a year later, almost a year after the ACL surgery, the courage is far closer than 2022 than 2022.

During his recovery, he also smashes the ball during his recovery. In five RCHABLE-A GWINETT games ACuña for 5 is for 5 for 5: two pairs, home runs, seven walks and two strikes.

Hunger digs a hole, partly rise

At the end of the brave, they certainly seemed to miss Acuña for the remaining 2024 of 2024. They won 104 games in a regular season of 2023, and despite the accuña accounts for lack of shortage of 2024.

The brave started this season 0-7, and then 5-13. It is difficult to tell how different ACUÑA would be, but when he is completely healthy, he is one of the baseball attack weapons.

The brave are originally a ship. Somewhat. From April 16, they have passed since 19-12, finally, they first rise .500 All season last Friday, but as mentioned, they have already lost four to three.

Still in the NL East they are 7.5 games from the first and are currently in the playoff position in an incredibly tough National League. The eight teams are above .500, and the red and brewers are sitting in such an area, bold.

Moving forward

Braves have 113 games left this season. Achieving 90 victories is likely to be a reasonable goal that is available both to the achievement and will take them to the playoffs. They have to go 66-47, the rest of it, which will take place.

Some of some questions of the early season have already begun to turn around. Chris sales and AJ Smith-Shawver have been excellent in rotation. Despite Thursday, Smith-Shawver’s poor walk along with Spencer Shelenbach and Bryce’s quality investments. Spencer Strider is back for the second time from the injured list, and it will probably start throwing well.

Matt Olson has begun to be like a stroke of electricity. Sean Murphy’s return was good for the crime, while Marcel Ozuna hits well. Drake Baldwin has been unexpected Godsend, and Eli White has helped pick up the slow.

Austin Riley is a slight power off. Michael Harris II and Ozze Albies should be better with the bat.

The good news for the brave is not only the return of Acuña directly affects the composition, as it is obvious that the player of his caliber gives it a great stimulation. The effect can indirectly help others, as a deeper crime causes problems for opposition pitchers, which are resonated throughout the entire composition. In other words, we should not be surprised in a few weeks so that the return of Asua coincides with the players like Riley, Harris and Albin.

In general, the braves have to do some good work moving forward, but they are well equipped.
