Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. again took batting practice prior to Sunday’s contest against Philadelphia, a strong indicator that he is nearing a return from the injured list. Acuna, who is battling wrist soreness, has not played since Aug. 10. Prior to hitting the IL, the MVP contender had begun to heat up offensively with three home runs in his last three games. Annihilating the ball at a 53.7 Hard Hit %, Acuna has proven himself to be an elite fantasy commodity again this year. Those in weekly lock formats can take the chance on Acuna returning Tuesday against the Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole.--Jesse Borek

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said on Monday that he didn't have an update on outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee). Acuna has yet to make his 2025 debut after tearing his ACL last year, although he was cleared to ramp up his baseball activities a few weeks ago. The Braves always planned on taking things slow with the 27-year-old former MVP, so it's not that big of a surprise that there are no updates or that he hasn't started a minor-league rehab assignment yet. When we hear more on Acuna, we'll pass it along. For now, fantasy managers must remain patient and hope that he's able to return to the Braves starting lineup sooner than later in the month of May. Acuna still has the potential to be a difference-maker for fantasy teams, although he probably isn't going to run nearly as much on the basepaths. When he's ready, the Braves plan on returning Acuna to right field immediately.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Justin Toscano reports that Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) has been cleared to ramp up his baseball activity and begin progressing toward a minor-league rehab assignment. There remains no firm timetable for when Acuna might make his 2025 debut, but he appears to be on a scheduled to return at some point in the next month, as previously thought. The 27-year-old is recovering from surgery to fix a torn ACL in his left knee last year and won't be available to fantasy managers until May. Acuna has been hitting for a while now, but he will now ramp up his running program Until he's able to return, Jarred Kelenic will continue to see the majority of starts in right field for Atlanta. Acuna, a former MVP, has the ability to be a fantasy difference-maker when he's healthy, so he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is expected to head to Los Angeles to meet with doctors first thing next week, according to 929 The Game's Grant McAuley. Acuna expects to be cleared for lateral movement and quick start/stop running, which will eventually determine his next steps and a timetable for him to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. The Braves have declined to give the 27-year-old former MVP a specific timetable, but the consensus all along is that he should be ready to make his season debut at some point in early to mid-May, barring a setback. Acuna has already proven he can be a difference-maker in fantasy, but it's possible he will lose a step after now having torn the ACL in both of his knees. Still, he needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues and will be a must-start whenever he returns. Jarred Kelenic has been serving as the team's starting right fielder early on in 2025.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) will head to Los Angeles soon to get the final clearances from doctors to ramp up his running and eventually start a minor-league rehab assignment, according to 929 The Game's Grant McAuley. There is no firm timetable for when Acuna might make his 2025 season debut, but the team is anticipating an early- to mid-May return, barring a setback. The 27-year-old has been taking batting practice and doing some baseball activities for a while, but he'll need to ramp up his running program and be cleared to play defense before he can start a rehab assignment. The Braves want the former MVP to be a full-go when he's activated from the injured list, so they aren't going to rush anything for a player coming off a second torn ACL in his other knee. Acuna might not be the same player that hit 41 homers and stole 73 bags in 2023, but he still has the ability to be a difference-maker when healthy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
