Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. began a rehab assignment on Tuesday in the Florida Complex League. It marked his first game May 26, 2024, when he tore his ACL. In his third at-bat of the night, he went deep.

Defensively, he logged six innings in right field before exiting. The club has not released a timetable for Acuña’s return yet, but after last night’s performance, it should be coming shortly. Daniel Alvarez-Montes reported that his rehab assignment could be transferred to Triple-A Gwinnett by Thursday, which was later confirmed by Brian Snitker.
