Biggest MLB Trade Deadline Deals, Steals And Blockbusters Of The 21st Century

Goes deep Saturday Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in an 8-3 win against the Nationals on Saturday.

Impact Acuna kicked off the scoring with a 419-foot solo shot to center field in the first inning. It was the star outfielder's second long ball in three games and just his third hit of any sort over six contests since returning from the injured list July 27. Acuna has struggled to a .136 batting average (3-for-22) since his return, and he's struck out at least once in each game during that span, so he seems to be still shaking off some rust.

First homer since return from IL Acuna went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Impact The fourth-inning long ball off Jake Irvin was Acuna's first in four games since being activated from the IL, and just his second hit in 16 plate appearances. Injuries have limited the 28-year-old outfielder to just 57 contests this season, and Acuna has managed eight homers and 15 steals on the year with a tepid .244/.365/.416 slash line. There's still time for him to put together a big finish to his campaign, but he'll need to stay in the lineup to build any momentum.

Collects hit in return Acuna went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Impact Making his return from a seven-week absence due to a hamstring strain, Acuna slotted back in as Atlanta's leadoff hitter and laced a single off Zac Thornton in his first trip to the plate before coming around to score on an Ozzie Albies knock. Acuna has had a disappointing, injury-plagued season so far, and through 54 games he's managed a .251/.371/.417 slash line with seven homers, 15 steals, 22 RBI and 32 runs.

Reinstated from injured list Atlanta activated Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Acuna has been cleared to return to action after missing more than a month with a left hamstring strain. He split time between right field and designated hitter while on a rehab assignment, but Atlanta plans for Acuna to go back to being its everyday right fielder.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Activation coming Monday Atlanta will activate Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Mets, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

Impact Acuna has been shelved since mid-June with a left hamstring strain, his second hamstring-related absence this season. He played nine rehab contests, going 6-for-26 with one home run and a 6:6 BB:K. In 53 games with Atlanta this season, Acuna has slashed .251/.373/.421 with seven home runs and 15 stolen bases.

Could be back Monday Acuna (hamstring) isn't in Triple-A Gwinnett's lineup Sunday and could join Atlanta in New York on Monday for the series opener against the Mets, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Dail...

Impact The five-time All-Star was reported to have a chance of rejoining Atlanta for Sunday's series finale in Baltimore, but he's not in the starting lineup and instead appears set to come off the injured list Monday. Acuna has been sidelined since just before the All-Star break due to the hamstring strain, but he was only kept out of game action for a few days before he began a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old began the rehab stint in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and built up slowly. In nine games between the two minor-league levels, he posted a .231/.364/.346 slash line with six walks and a homer.

Not activated Sunday Acuna (hamstring) isn't included in Atlanta's lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles and appears unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list until at least Monday.

Impact Acuna isn't believed to have experienced any setbacks with his left hamstring during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett, but he'll get at least one day of rest after he went 1-for-3 with a walk while playing a full nine innings in right field for the affiliate Saturday. Assuming the 28-year-old joins the big club on its upcoming road trip to New York, he could be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Mets.

Could be back Sunday Acuna (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from the IL until at least Sunday, Ian Quillen of MLB.com reports.

Impact A rainout Friday for Triple-A Gwinnett put a bit of a hiccup into Atlanta's weekend plans for their start right fielder as he wraps up a rehab assignment. Gwinnett has a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday, and MLB manager Walt Weiss didn't rule out Acuna playing both ends of it. "There's a chance he'll play both," Weiss said Friday. "I think it's two [seven-inning games]. There's a chance he'll play both. He'll let us know when he feels like he's ready to go." Atlanta planned to have the 28-year-old back in the big-league lineup this weekend, so a Sunday activation remains possible. Acuna has been sidelined since June 9, and over 53 games for Atlanta this season he's managed a .794 OPS with seven homers and 15 steals.

Impact Acuna will play his eighth and likely final rehab game Thursday with Triple-A Gwinnett. A return to the active roster Friday is possible, though the club could elect to give Acuna a day to rest before activating him later in the weekend. The star outfielder has been sidelined since early June due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.
