Ronald Acuna Jr.

Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. has acknowledged he will be less aggressive on the bases in 2025 after sustaining a torn left ACL in May 2024.

Fantasy Impact

Acuna tore his right ACL in the 2021 season and is continuing to rehab the torn left ACL he suffered in May 2024. After a monster 2023 season that saw him slug 41 home runs alongside an MLB-best 73 stolen bases, fantasy managers will have to be mindful of what will likely be a significant decline in stolen bases in 2025, especially with a May return looking like the likeliest of scenarios at this time.
