Ronald Acuna Jr. Will Play In World Baseball Classic
2 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. will play in the 2023 World Baseball Classic for Team Venezuela. Acuna got permission from the Braves to take part in the tournament, which will take him away from the team's spring training. There's a good chance that the 25-year-old will be limited to designated-hitter duties in an effort to keep him healthy for the 2023 regular season. Acuna tore his ACL in 2021 and spent a lot of time last season serving as the DH, but he wants to return to a regular role in right field for the Braves this year. Despite the major knee injury, Acuna is one of the best all-around players in the big leagues and is worth a heavy investment from fantasy managers on draft day.
