Ronald Acuna Jr. Steals A Base In Second Rehab Game
3 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) went 0-for-3 with a walk, stolen base and run scored as the designated hitter in his second rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. Acuna played the entire game after going 1-for-3 with a double in five innings on Tuesday. The 24-year-old is rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered last July, but the fact that he's running in games is a great sign. The Braves won't rush the five-category superstar back, and they are targeting a return for Acuna in early May. Acuna certainly could return before early May, but fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up. When he's back, Acuna is a no-doubt, must-start fantasy asset, and he's expected to return to the leadoff role immediately.
