Acuna posted “I’LL BE BACK” on social media on Saturday.
Acuna tore his ACL in the same knee in 2021, with ElAttrache performing the surgical repair.
Acuna took part in Atlanta’s spring game Thursday against the Minnesota Twins but tweaked the knee during a rundown. He was able to take batting practice ahead of Friday’s matchup against the Baltimore Orioles before being scratched.
He is coming off a monster 2023, one that saw him become baseball’s first 40-70 player with 41 home runs and an NL-leading 73 steals. He also led the NL in on-base percentage (.416), OPS (1.012), hits (217) and runs (149).
