The Atlanta Braves hope to have Ronald Acuna, Jr. back in the lineup on May 6, according to a report.

The date is a "loose" target. Acuna's return had previously been projected to come in early May.

Acuna, 24, tore his ACL last July. Before the injury he batted .283/.394/.596 (156 OPS+) with 24 home runs and 17 stolen bases in 82 games.
