Ronald Acuna Jr.
There are no two-ways in stating that Ronald Acuna Jr is an important and integral part of the Atlanta Braves franchise. With the 24-year-old missing three straight game, he managed to make his way back into the lineup on Wednesday. However, Braces would be expected to give rest to their marquee player as he has experienced high pain in his knee.
Although fans have been perplexed to think about Ronald Acuna Jr’s cause of pain. How much does it usually take to repair a torn right anterior cruciate ligament? Did Acuna over-exert himself after making a way back in April? Is this really just something players have to deal with when returning from a torn ACL? The questions and speculations are endless to think about it.

Can Ronald Acuna Jr once again shine for Atlanta Braves?
The only way Atlanta Braves could chase a second consecutive World Series is by giving their young superstar some time at his disposal. Preferably some time before the end of October, only so that Ronald Acuna Jr could return with full venom. To talk about the individual brilliance of the 24-year-old.
Ronald Acuna has hit .316 with six homers, a .950 OPS and 11 stolen bases- in 14 attempts. While playing in 31 of the 41 games (76%) the Braves played from April 28 to June 11. After that spoken off stretch, Acuna registered .253 with four homers, a .686 OPS and 14 stolen bases (21 attempts) while playing in 60 of 69 games (87%) the Braves played from June 12 to August 28.
Given that Atlanta have decent time in the palm, Acuna has a decent chance to make a stronger return at the plate and on the bases. Furthermore he has expressed his concern over his knee while running and made everyone aware about the pain caused during the action. That being said, he has not been close to being the same guy who spent the past couple years strolling to the plate attempting to break some kind of Statcast record on a nightly basis.
