Ronald Acuna Jr. tears ACL, out for season; Johan Camargo recalled
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. will miss the rest of the 2021 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee Saturday night.
The team announced the official diagnosis and subsequently placed the superstar right fielder on the 60-day IL. It's a brutal blow for a team that was climbing back into a playoff spot, and it's a blow to the sport as a whole. Johan Camargo has been recalled from Triple-A to take Acuna's roster spot.
In 360 plate appearances this season, Acuna finishes with a .280 batting average with a .990 OPS, 24 home runs, 72 runs and 52 RBI.
