    • Ruled out for season
      Acuna has been diagnosed with a complete tear of the ACL in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

      Advice: Acuna suffered a non-contact injury while trying to retreat to second base in the top of the first inning during Sunday's game against the Pirates. He missed the second half of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL in his right knee and now faces another lengthy recovery process. Over 48 games in 2024, Acuna slashed .246/.348/.356 with four homers, 38 runs, 16 steals and 15 RBI. Acuna will undergo surgery at an undisclosed date to address his ACL tear, while Jarred Kelenic and Adam Duvall should see additional playing time as the season progresses.

    • Could miss four-plus weeks
      Acuna (knee) said Sunday that he wouldn't be surprised if he misses a month, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Acuna told reporters he was going on the 10-day injured list and said the discomfort is more like what he felt in 2018 than what he dealt with in 2021 when he tore his ACL. Acuna had a significant limp as he was moving around the clubhouse after Sunday's game, in which he collapsed in the top of the first inning when trying to go back to second base and needed assistance getting down the dugout stairs. He said he did not hear a pop, but Monday's MRI results still loom large. In Acuna's absence, Jarred Kelenic and Adam Duvall could play more against same-handed pitchers.

    • Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) heading to injured list
      Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) told reporters after Sunday’s game that he’ll be placed on the injured list on Monday.

      Advice: The 26-year-old superstar elaborated, saying that the injury feels like the same injury that he dealt with in 2018 on his left knee, and that he expects to miss around a month as he did at that time. Presumably, he’ll head for an MRI to determine the full extent of the injury, but either way it sounds like the Braves — and fantasy managers — are going to be without the top overall pick in fantasy leagues for a while.

    • Set to go on IL
      Acuna (knee) told reporters following Sunday's 8-1 win over the Pirates that he will go on the 10-day injured list, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: Acuna collapsed in the top of the first inning of Sunday's game after planting his left leg when trying to go back to second base. He exited with trainers following the injury and was helped down the dugout stairs. Acuna noted after the game that it didn't feel like the ACL tear he sustained in his right knee in 2021, which is good news for Atlanta, but the 26-year-old superstar will be sidelined for at least 10 days. Manager Brian Snitker said that the severity of Acuna's injury won't be known until he's evaluated Monday. Acuna is slashing .246/.348/.356 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 16 stolen bases over 191 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:01 pm
       
    • Ronald Acuña Jr. leaves with left knee soreness
      Ronald Acuña Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Pirates with left knee soreness.

      Advice: Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution notes that this is just the initial diagnosis for Acuña Jr., and that he’ll need to undergo further testing. The results of imaging will determine the severity, but it seems very likely that a trip to the injured list is coming for the 26-year-old. Fantasy managers should be be prepared to get him out of their lineup for the week. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:24 am
       
    • Leaves game with left knee injury
      Acuna left in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Pirates due to a left knee soreness, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. He doubled in his lone at-bat of the day.

      Advice: Acuna went down in the top of the first inning Sunday after he planted his left leg trying to go back to second base on a steal attempt. He came off the field limping, though the injury isn't to the same knee that Acuna had surgically repaired in 2021. Jarred Kelenic came off the bench and entered the game in left field, with Adam Duvall shifting over to Acuna's usual spot in right field. Atlanta should have an update on Acuna's condition later Sunday or prior to Monday's series opener with the Nationals. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:57 am
       
    • Acuña Jr. leaves Sunday with lower-body injury
      Ronald Acuña Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Pirates with a lower-body injury.

      Advice: Acuña Jr. had to be helped off the field after he planted his left leg in an attempt to get back to second base. It’s worth noting that this appeared to be a knee issue, and that’s the same knee that had to be surgically repaired after a torn ACL. The outfielder appeared to be in serious pain before exiting. Acuña Jr. will assuredly undergo testing, and his status should be updated before the end of Sunday’s game. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:49 am
       
    • Resting Sunday
      Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: Buxton looks to be getting a breather for the series finale after he had started in each of the past five games while going 5-for-20 with two home runs and one walk. Willi Castro will cover center field in Buxton's stead. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:22 am
       
    • Byron Buxton gets Sunday off against Rangers
      Byron Buxton is not starting Sunday against the Rangers.

      Advice: Buxton went 1-for-7 with a double over the first two games of the series. He’ll get a day of rest with Willi Castro getting the start in center field. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:02 am
