Unlikely to be ready Opening Day Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Tuesday that it appears unlikely Acuna (knee) will be ready for Opening Day, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Co...

Impact Anthopoulos indicated last month that Acuna's readiness for Opening Day was in question, and now it appears things are trending toward a stint on the injured list as the outfielder continues his recovery from left ACL surgery. A timetable for Acuna's season debut remains vague, although Anthopoulos previously suggested it could come as late as early June. A more definitive timeline for Acuna might be available by spring training.

Opening Day not a given Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos indicated Friday that Acuna (knee) isn't a given to be ready for Opening Day, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta repor...

Impact Anthopoulos noted that the club will be deliberate with Acuna's rehab from left ACL surgery and while it's possible the outfielder is ready to play by April, it could be later than that. Acuna's surgery took place in early June, so he will be a little under 10 months removed once Opening Day rolls around. While a timetable for the 26-year-old is fuzzy now, there should be more clarity by spring training.

Leaves game with left knee injury Acuna left in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Pirates due to a left knee injury, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Acuna went down in the top of the first inning Sunday after he planted his left leg trying to go back to second base on a steal attempt. He came off the field limping, though the injury is not the same knee that Acuna had surgically repaired in 2021. With Acuna out, Jarred Kelenic has entered the game in left field, with Adam Duvall shifting over to right field.

Records 15th steal Acuna went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

Impact The steal was Acuna's first since May 4, an unusually long drought without a theft for the speedy outfielder. He was caught on his only attempt over 12 games between steals. Acuna has struggled to get into a rhythm at the plate this season, slashing .247/.355/.351 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 36 runs scored and 15 steals over 203 plate appearances. Some regression from last year's 41-homer, 73-steal campaign was to be expected in 2024, but Acuna's career-low .706 OPS so far has been a brutal overcorrection.

Gets first day off of season Acuna is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Acuna is on the bench for the series finale, but his absence doesn't appear to be anything more than a much-needed maintenance day after he had started in right field in each of Atlanta's first 39 games of the season. Adam Duvall will step in as the starting right fielder in place of Acuna, who is in the midst of a cool stretch at the plate with just four hits in 31 at-bats over his last eight starts.

Swipes first bag of 2024 Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-3 win over the Phillies.

Impact The minor knee injury Acuna dealt with early in the spring appears to be a non-issue to begin the regular season, and last year's NL MVP singled in his first plate appearance of 2024 before promptly swiping second base. Acuna stole a career-high 73 bases last year to go with his 41 homers, and bad luck on the health front is likely the only thing that might prevent him from posting monster numbers again.
