3 years agoThe Atlanta Braves placed outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Monday. Acuna is recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee and will not be ready for the start of the regular season. The 24-year-old superstar is making good progress, though, and the Braves are hoping to ease him into designated hitter duties in late April. If he was fully healthy entering this season, Acuna would've likely been the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy drafts. He was hitting .283/.394/.596 with 24 home runs, 52 RBI, 72 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 82 games last year before his season-ending knee injury. Acuna will still be an early round pick despite the fact that he'll miss at least the first couple of the weeks in 2022.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
