In a dramatic turn of events, Ronald Acuña Jr. couldn't help but weigh in on the fallout from Jarred Kelenic's costly mistake during the Atlanta Braves' nail-biting 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Witnessing Kelenic get thrown out at second base due to a lack of hustle on a long fly ball, Acuña, who is on the mend after reconstructive knee surgery, took to social media to express his frustrations with Braves manager Brian Snitker.

When MLB.com reporter Mark Bowman posted about Snitker's seemingly lenient stance toward Kelenic, Acuña shot back, "If it were me, they would take me out of the game." His post was mysteriously deleted about an hour later, leaving fans buzzing.

Kelenic's blunder wasn't a minor error; his poorly executed play saw him thrown out at second by Trevor Larnach after a drive that hit the right-field wall.

This situation strikes a chord with Acuña, who faced consequences of his own back in August 2019. As a promising 21-year-old All-Star, Acuña was removed from a game for failing to hustle after hitting a long drive, a lesson Snitker pointedly made clear. "You’ve got to run," he emphasized, reiterating the importance of team responsibility over individual accolades.

Currently recovering from last year's ACL tear, Acuña has been given the green light to begin cutting in his rehab process, with expectations for him to rejoin the Braves next month.

Meanwhile, Kelenic’s performance has been far from stellar, batting a disappointing .170 this season, leaving fans to speculate about his future in the lineup once Acuña returns. The Braves, riding a wave of momentum with back-to-back wins, have newly acquired Alex Verdugo stepping up as a dynamic leadoff hitter.

It's worth noting that Kelenic was once the jewel of the Mariners' prospects, traded to Seattle in a blockbuster deal involving eight-time All-Star Robinson Cano. Since making his MLB debut in 2021, Kelenic has struggled to find his footing, batting just .204 with 32 home runs over 252 games. As the Braves aim for a successful season, questions loom over Kelenic's place in a roster now bolstered by the prospect of Acuña's return.
