Yep, hope Acuna gets well soon, but lots of concerns about him out there. Still sounds serious since he's got to go to California to get checked out again in person.
Braves 'trying to be optimistic' on Acuna's knee
Reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. has irritation around his meniscus that should not keep him out for Opening Day, though he is set to undergo further evaluation.

Acuna underwent an MRI that revealed the irritation, according to the team. He will meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Monday for additional evaluation.
"Right now we're trying to be optimistic," Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters in Florida on Saturday. "Maybe just a couple of weeks or whatever, just to calm everything down. But honestly, I don't know until we get what the doctor out there says."
An MRI exam gave the Braves confidence Ronald Acuña Jr. will be ready for the start of the regular season. But the team won't have a definitive timeline until the reigning National League MVP travels to California to be evaluated by Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday.
"We expect him to be ready for Opening Day barring new information," Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said. "It looks like irritation, but we're going to make sure we check all of the boxes."
