NORTH PORT, Fla. -- National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. is expected to be ready for Opening Day with the Atlanta Braves after a more thorough examination of his sore right knee found no serious issues.
Acuña left the Braves' spring training site in Florida to be examined by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Monday night.
The team announced Tuesday that ElAttrache found only irritation in the meniscus of Acuña's right knee. Acuña will be able to gradually increase his baseball activities and is expected to be cleared to play by the time the Braves open the regular season at Philadelphia on March 28.
