Atlanta Braves superstar and league MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. has been once again sidelined by injury. This time, it will cost him — and the Braves — the remainder of the season.
Acuña hit himself in Sunday’s game while running bases. While the injury didn’t initially look as bad, after further tests, he was diagnosed with a complete tear of the ACL in his left knee.
Acuña posted “Sorry” on his X account, which was flooded with well-wishes.
Acuña has torn an ACL in the past three calendar years. The latest tear of his anterior cruciate ligament occurred during the first inning of the Braves’ 8-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
“I hate it for the young men that it affects more than us,” Braves manager Brian Snitker told MLB.com. “These guys love to play the game. When something like this happens, I hate it.”
