Swipes three bases Acuna went 2-for-4 with three steals in Saturday's 6-3 loss against the Astros.

Impact Acuna ran at will Saturday, as he set a season high with three steals. He has swiped 11 bags in 21 games this season, as he is on pace to break his career high of 37 steals back in 2019. Plus Acuna has his average up to .375, as he has been a fantasy superstar to start 2023.

Up to eight steals Acuna went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

Impact The 25-year-old continues to run wild, and Acuna has eight steals in 10 attempts through 19 games, leaving him one pilfer short of league leaders Cedric Mullins and Nico Hoerner. Acuna's been even hotter at the plate, and over his last 10 contests he's batting .450 (18-for-40) with three doubles, a homer, seven RBI, eight runs and a 6:7 BB:K.

Swipes seventh bag Acuna went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored during Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Royals.

Impact Acuna took Aroldis Champman to left field for a double in the eighth inning and immediately swiped his seventh base of the campaign. The 25-year-old phenom has reached base safely in six of his last seven games as he maintains his excellent form at the plate, slashing an impressive .373/.455/.567 with three home runs and 11 RBI through 16 games. With his dominant speed and potent hitting ability, Acuna continues to prove why he is one of the most dangerous players in the league.

Clubs third homer Acuna went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's win over the Royals.

Tallies three hits in win Acuna went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 victory against Cincinnati.

Impact Acuna tallied three of Atlanta's nine hits in the contest, and he knocked in three of the team's five runs. The star outfielder plated two with a single in the second inning to put Atlanta on the board and knocked in another run with a game-tying single in the seventh. Acuna also swiped his sixth bag of the campaign, tying him for first in the league in that category with Jorge Mateo and Myles Straw.

Swipes fifth bag Sunday Acuna went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Impact The steal was his fifth in six attempts already this season, and his third in the last three games. Acuna's been swinging a hot stick as well, and through 10 contests he's batting .310 (13-for-42) with two homers, five RBI and 10 runs while hitting exclusively in the leadoff spot for Atlanta.

Busy on basepaths Friday Acuna went 0-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Friday's loss to the Padres.

Impact The 25-year-old superstar took full advantage every time he reached base, swiping his third bag of the year in the third inning after drawing a walk, and then pilfering his fourth base in the fifth after after beating out a possible double-play ball. Acuna's career high in steals is 37, set back in 2019, and it looks like he intends to shatter that mark in 2023. His .314 batting average (11-for-35) with two homers, four RBI and 10 runs through eight games is pretty good, too.

Swipes second bag Acuna went 2-for-5 with a run scored and his second stolen base of the season in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact The 25-year-old led off the game with a single and promptly swiped second base. Acuna already has two homers and two steals in five games to begin the season along with a .364 (8-for-22) batting average, and talk of a 30/30 or even 40/40 season will only grow louder if he continues flashing his power and speed at this pace.

Big day against Cards Acuna went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's win over St. Louis.

Impact His second-inning blast off Jake Woodford was Acuna's second homer in four games to begin the season. The 25-year-old is off to a great start to 2023, going 6-for-17 (.353) with half of his hits going for extra bases, four RBI, four runs and a steal. If he stays healthy, Acuna could wind up figuring prominently in the NL MVP race.

Slugs leadoff homer Saturday Acuna went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Atlanta's hitters set the tone for the afternoon early, as Acuna and Matt Olson launched back-to-back homers in the game's first six pitches. It was the first home run of the season for Acuna and the 27th leadoff blast of his career, the second-highest total since the 25-year-old entered the league in 2018 behind George Springers' 34. After hitting only 15 homers in 119 games last season in his return from ACL surgery, Acuna could be primed for a huge year in the power categories.

Hits two singles, steals base Acuna hit two singles and recorded a stolen base in Atlanta's defeat of the Nationals on Thursday.

Impact Acuna went as the No. 1 overall pick in some fantasy drafts this spring and he started his 2023 campaign on a high note Thursday afternoon in Washington. The dynamic 25-year-old outfielder is looking more and more spry the further away he gets from that devastating knee injury in the summer of 2021. He seems poised for a monstrous season of category-covering production.
