Ronald Acuña - Page 14 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Back in business Acuna (lower body) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Acuna was scratched from the lineup for Atlanta's last game Sunday due to some soreness, but he pinch hit in that contest and is again ready for a full fine innings following a team off day. As he usually does, Acuna will man right field and hit leadoff Tuesday night.

Can Atlanta Braves catch up to New York Mets in NL East?

Late scratch Sunday Acuna was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Mets due to lower body soreness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Acuna's removal is a precautionary move from Atlanta given the rain and wet conditions Sunday in New York. The 24-year-old seems likely to be back in action for Tuesday's series opener versus the Red Sox. Robbie Grossman will take over in right field while Dansby Swanson moves up to the leadoff spot.

Acuna leads Braves against the Mets after 4-hit performance

The Atlanta Braves play the New York Mets after Ronald Acuña Jr. had four hits against the Mets on Friday

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Singles four times Acuna went 4-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 9-6 win over the Mets.

Impact Acuna ripped four singles Friday, including one off of Taijuan Walker in the second inning before swiping second base and scoring a run. He's now stolen 23 bags in 30 attempts on the year. His big day improved his season slash line to .266/.361/.403 with 43 runs scored and 20 extra-base hits through 71 games. However, since the start of July, Acuna has gone 27-for-111 (.243).

Ronald Acuña Jr. ends homer drought, says repaired knee doesn't always feel same Acuña's last home run was July 8 against the Nationals' Erick Fedde, and the 18-game drought was the second-longest of his career.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Ends homer drought Acuna went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Mets.

Impact Acuna provided Atlanta's biggest hit of the game in the fifth inning. Prior to Thursday, he had just one homer in his last 29 contests, and he hit a meager .221 in that span. He's slashing .256/.354/.396 with nine long balls, 26 RBI, 42 runs scored and 22 stolen bases through 70 games overall. Acuna will likely need more than one game to put this slump behind him, but getting his power swing back would be a big step forward after a quiet month-plus.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Acuna isn't starting Wednesday against Philadelphia, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Acuna is getting a rare day off after he hit .160 with a double, a run, an RBI, a stolen base, three walks and six strikeouts over the last six games. Eddie Rosario is taking over in right field and batting fifth.

Picks up 21st steal Acuna went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

Impact The steal was Acuna's 21st of the year, eight of which have come in July. The 24-year-old has otherwise struggled this month, slashing .228/.344/.304 with one homer, five RBI and 11 runs through 20 games, but the superstar is unlikely to continue slumping at the plate much longer -- he posted a .279/.351/.477 line over 21 games in June.

Gets Saturday off Acuna will sit Saturday against Washington.

Impact Acuna had some extra days off early on in his return from knee surgery, but he's handled a star player's typical heavy workload in recent weeks. Saturday's off day marks his first time out of the lineup thus far in July. Adam Duvall will start in right field.

Swipes bag No. 20 Acuna went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 8-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact The 24-year-old superstar has steals in three straight games and has seven successful pilfers in 15 contests so far in July, giving him his second career 20-steal campaign. Acuna is only batting .237 (14-for-59) on the month with one homer, but getting a bit of a breather over the All-Star break could help perk up his bat in the second half.

Steals 19th base Acuna went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in a 5-4 win Thursday in Washington.

Impact Acuna walked, stole second and scored in the first inning. The stolen base was his sixth this month and 19th of the season in 25 attempts. He has walked in five of his last six games and owns a .369 OBP for the year. While his power numbers are down significantly compared to his first four seasons, the 24-year-old is still finding ways to get on base and is stealing bases more frequently than any other point in his big-league career.

JULY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Steals 18th bag Acuna went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Mets.

Impact The pilfer snapped a brief seven-game stolen base drought for the 24-year-old, and Acuna is tied for fifth in the majors with 18 steals on the season. He's doing some damage at the plate as well, slashing .275/.371/.431 through 56 games with eight homers, 22 RBI and 36 runs.
