Acuña Returns to NL East-Leading Braves After Missing Almost 7 Weeks with Left Hamstring Strain
The Braves activated the 2023 National League Most Valuable Player after he missed almost seven weeks with a left hamstring strain.
- On Monday, the Atlanta Braves activated outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. from the injured list after the 2023 National League MVP missed nearly seven weeks with a left hamstring strain.
- While the Braves initially struggled in June without Acuña, the club rebounded after the All-Star break and now leads the National League East with a 62-43 record.
- Following a rehabilitation stint with the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers, Acuña told reporters on Saturday he is "feeling much better" and "ready to go."
- The star outfielder is expected to be available for Monday night's opener of a three-game series against the New York Mets, where manager Walt Weiss expects him to play right field.
- Injuries have challenged the 2023 MVP in recent years, including ACL tears sustained in 2021 and 2024, though his return bolsters Atlanta's playoff push.
