The Atlanta Braves will be without Ronald Acuna for at least a week and a half after his scary knee injury Sunday.
An MRI showed that Acuna suffered a mild ACL sprain in his left knee and a knee contusion, as well as a lower back contusion, when he twisted his knee running through first base. He will be placed on the disabled list and re-evaluated in ten days.

The Braves would have been fearing the worst after Acuna needed a wheelchair to board his flight out of Boston on Sunday. It sounds like, while not great, this isn’t as bad as it could have been.
