2025 Player Outlook

If you believe the projections you should be happy with this discount on Acuna despite the fact that he could miss almost a month to start the season, but I have a hard time believing the projections. Coming off his second ACL surgery I don't expect him to immediately be back to the greatness we saw in 2023; I expect it to look more like the 119 games we saw in 2022 when he returned from his first ACL surgery. The upside is still huge but understand there is risk not just in the health, but it could also take him time to get back to full Acuna greatness.

Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) is still a “couple weeks” away from a rehab assignment according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com

1 day ago

Acuña had hoped to be playing in the weekend series against the Dodgers before the start of the season, but that was an optimistic — and honestly, unrealistic — timeline. The 27-year-old is still building up strength in his quad according to Bowman, and Atlanta doesn’t have a firm timeline for when Acuña will be able to play. At this point, it’d be a surprise if he was back with Atlanta before the end of May.

Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) has been cleared to ramp up baseball activities and progress towards a minor league rehab assignment.

2 weeks ago

The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Justin Toscano adds that Acuña remains without an official return timetable, but seems on scheduled to return at some point in the next month, as originally expected. It’s a significant development for fantasy managers that the superstar outfielder appears on track to make his season debut at some point in mid-May.

Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) is set to meet with his team of doctors early next week with the expectation that he’ll be cleared for lateral movement, quick start/stop running and outfield work.

3 weeks ago

The Braves are hopeful that after that appointment they should have a better grasp on a timeline for when their superstar outfielder could be ready to begin a minor league rehab assignment. It still sounds like he’s at least a month away from potentially joining the Braves in the best case scenario.

Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) will meet with doctors in Los Angeles in the coming days.

4 weeks ago

Acuña Jr. will meet with those doctors in hopes of getting clearance to start a running program. The 27-year-old could then begin a rehab assignment after getting through that program, but there’s still no timetable for when the former MVP will return. The earliest realistic point is the middle of May, but fantasy managers will have to remain patient
