Atlanta Braves were in a dilemma before granting permission to Ronald Acuna Jr. to play in the Venezuelan Winter League

The Atlanta Braves were in a dilemma before allowing their three-time All-Star Ronald Acuna Jr. to participate in the Venezuelan Winter League due to his significant knee injury in 2021.

Due to a ruptured ACL in his right knee during the 2021 season, Acuna was restricted to 75+ games. Also, he had to give the Braves' World Series run a miss.

He returned to the majors in the summer of 2022.

As a result, the Braves wanted Ronald to rest his knee and recover fully over the winter in order to be ready for MLB 2023 season.

However, Acuna was eventually allowed to play five games as the designated hitter in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.
