Nearly a calendar year has passed since the Atlanta Braves lost right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. to an ACL injury —a devastating end to the 2024 season for one of baseball's brightest stars. Now, however, it looks like the light at the end of the tunnel is approaching for Braves fans.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday as part of the Florida Complex Rookie League, according to The Athletic. Acuña will play the outfield and will report back on how he responds physically before the Braves proceed from there.
