With Ronald Acuna Jr. lost for season, Braves move on vs. Marlins Field Level Media 11 Jul 2021, 16:40 GMT+10 The Atlanta Braves begin the rest of their season without All-Star right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. when they play the host Miami Marlins on Sunday. Acuna tore his right ACL in the bottom of the fifth inning of Saturday's win and will have season-ending surgery. Acuna, 23, is expected to miss 9-10months, according to ESPN. "It's a tough break for our team and for him," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. The Acuna injury is unfortunately fitting for the Braves, who have won three straight National League East crowns but haven't had the type of first half to the 2021 season that they were expecting.
