Here's how the Braves lineup looks like tonight in Acuña's first game back:
Acuña has been working to make his way back to the big club after suffering a torn ACL back in July 2021.
In his six games with the Gwinnett Stripers, Braves Triple-A affiliate, Acuña went 7-for-19 with a double, a 6:6 BB:K and three stolen bases in three attempts.
The 24-year-old batted .283 with 24 home runs and 17 stolen bases in 82 games last season.
