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.

What It Means:

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.
