Braves star Acuña out for season after tearing knee vs Miami

Associated Press  

MIAMI — Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. will undergo season-ending surgery after suffering a complete tear of the ACL in his right knee during Atlanta’s 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Acuña landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping on the warning track in right field trying to catch a drive from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. “It’s obviously very unfortunate, but you have to stay with the task at hand and finish the game.” Chisholm at first thought Acuña was going to make the catch and didn’t realize the severity of the injury until after he crossed home plate. “A guy like that, him getting injured, the baseball world is going to miss him if he’s out for a long time,” Chisholm said right after the game.
