I don’t want to jinx it, but I would be shocked if it’s a torn acl. He never grabbed at the knee or anything like that.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Should have kept him down until June

I’ve seen plenty of guys walk it off with a torn acl/mcl.
I know a lot of athletes too!

I'll be shocked if he avoids the DL even if nothing is really damaged.
I think he will be fine. Could be wrong, but I just feel the braves' training staff would've been on either side like crutches to keep weight off knee with such a huge asset.

It seemed to me he was walking better as he got closer to the dugout. Hopefully and praying nothing serious.

Of course
Career ending no doubt..time to rebuild
Remember Bryce Harper had just about the exact same thing happen to him last year. He missed a few weeks, but was back for the postseason.

Acuna walking is obviously better than being carted off, but it by no means indicates he isn’t injured.
