“I’m Back”- Atlanta Braves Star Ronald Acuna Jr. Confidently Hits Homer in Bullpen and Announces His Return for the Next Season

The Atlanta Braves are facing some hard times in this free agency. But after the arrival of first baseman Matt Olson from the Oakland Athletics and now, probably with the comeback of Ronald Acuna Jr., the Braves might have some breather.

Notably, the Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. played only a few matches during the last season, due to an injury. And he went on to miss more than a half of the season. But, seems like Acuna has now completely recovered from his injury.

With this news, the Braves’ management and fans will be over the moon. Because after losing Freddie Freeman, Acuna’s comeback will definitely bring some joy to the Braves’ camp.

The Atlanta Braves are the defending champions of the World Series. Even though Acuna didn’t play the full season in 2021, he played a crucial role in the Braves’ success. And his injury didn’t affect the Braves much. But now, since the Atlanta Braves have potentially lost free agent Freddie Freeman, Acuna’s availability will be much needed to defend their title.

In the midst of the 2021 season, Acuna tore his ACL, and that forced him to sit out for the rest of the season. Had he not injured himself, Acuna was one of the top candidates to win the National League MVP. But the luck didn’t favor him.
