Braves' Ronald Acuna reportedly called up for big league debut on Wednesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna will make his major league debut on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds, reports Braves beat writer Mark Bowman of MLB.com.
What It Means:
After getting off to a slow start for Triple-A Gwinnett this season, the Braves believe Acuna is finally ready to show off his stuff at the major league level. At 20 years and 128 days, the five-tool, top prospect will pass teammate Ozzie Albies to become the youngest player to appear in an MLB game this season. Acuna is expected to replace Preston Tucker in left field for Atlanta.
Acuna batted .325/.374/.522 with 21 home runs, 82 RBI, 44 stolen bases, and 88 runs scored in 139 games last season across three different levels of Atlanta's minor league system.
