Back in action Thursday Acuna (knee) went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact Seeing his first game action since Feb. 29, Acuna looked a little rusty at the plate and fanned twice against Zack Littell, but the important thing is that he was back in the lineup. The 2023 NL MVP was limited to DH duties Thursday, but he hit in his usual leadoff spot and Atlanta will ease him back into defensive duties over the next few days. Acuna is back on track to be ready for Opening Day.

Braves confirm Ronald Acuña has meniscus irritation, should be ready for Opening Day

The Braves received the good news they were waiting for, learning that Ronald Acuña's sore knee should not force him to miss Opening Day.

MRI shows irritation in knee Acuna (knee) underwent an MRI which showed irritation in his right meniscus, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact After he was scratched from the lineup Friday, Acuna was examined and an MRI was recommended. The plan is for Acuna to see a doctor in Los Angeles to further assess the injury, though at this stage Atlanta still expects the superstar outfielder to be ready for Opening Day. Unless the injury turns out to be more serious than currently believed, he seems unlikely to fall off his perch as the undisputed No. 1 pick in fantasy for 2024.
