The Braves recently got right-hander Spencer Strider back in the starting rotation after a strained hamstring forced a short stint on the injured list, and now they will have star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., who joins a Braves team on Friday that has been hovering around .500 as of late after starting the regular season an abysmal 0-7.

Ronald Acuña Jr. will make his return to the field on Friday after nearly a full year off the field, the Atlanta Braves announced Thursday night.

Acuña dropped his bat and took a page out of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's book. Acuña did Morant's grenade celebration, throwing an imaginary grenade and covering his ears as the crowd erupted in applause.
