Braves News: Ronald Acuna Jr Injury, Chris Sale sharp again, and more

As the Braves begin another week of Spring Training in Florida, the eyes of Braves fans will be set on Los Angeles with apprehensive expectation.

Ronald Acuna Jr. is expected to have his right knee evaluated by the same doctor who repaired his ruptured ACL in 2021. While irritation of the meniscus is the initial report, more information about the severity of the irritation will be available after today.

While the timing of an Acuna Jr. update is unknown, stay tuned to Battery Power for the most up-to-date information as it becomes available.

A more positive development from the weekend is Chris Sale’s second consecutive fascinating appearance.

Though Sale struggled with control, he struck out five of his seven outs. Sale is healthy and productive, as his velocity reached 97 once more, and the movement on his breaking pitches was flawless on several occasions.

Sale is off to about as fantastic a start at Spring Training as anyone could have hoped.
