Atlanta star Ronald Acuna Jr. will undergo season-ending surgery after suffering a complete tear of the ACL in his right knee during Atlanta's 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Hours earlier, Acuna had tears in his eyes as he was carted off the field at Marlins Park. Acuna landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping on the warning track in right field trying to catch a drive from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. He slammed into the outfield wall and crumbled on the warning track, immediately grabbing his right knee while Chisholm sprinted for an inside-the-park homer. Acuna had been slated to start in the outfield for the NL All-Star team in Tuesday's game, his third appearance.
