Clubs eighth homer Acuna went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Impact His second-inning blast off Erick Fedde gave Atlanta a 6-0 lead as the team rolled to a 12-run outburst. Acuna hadn't homered since June 21, missing five games during that stretch with a foot issue, but on the season the 24-year-old is still slashing .275/.368/.440 with eight home runs, 17 steals, 22 RBI and 35 runs in 51 games.

Nabs 17th steal Acuna went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact The steal was his 17th in only 48 games this season, as Acuna continues to prove his knee is fully recovered from last year's injury. His power numbers haven't quite bounced back yet, but the 24-year-old superstar still sports a .285/.382/.446 slash line with seven homers, 19 RBI and 33 runs.

Swipes two bags Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in a 4-3 loss to the Reds on Sunday.

Impact Acuna's two-steals effort gives him 15 total on the season and places him among the top 10 in the majors. His willingness to run is a good sign after having recently been sidelined with a minor foot injury. Acuna had a career-high 37 stolen bases in 2019 and if he stays healthy for the rest of the season he could break that personal record.

On base four times in return Acuna went 2-for-3 with two hit by pitches and two runs scored in Friday's 9-1 rout of the Reds.

Impact It was a painful return from a four-game absence for Acuna, who had been out with a minor foot injury. Cincinnati hurlers plunked batters four times in total on the night, which could result in some retaliation later this weekend, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Acuna get Saturday off as Atlanta continues to treat the 24-year-old superstar with kid gloves in an effort to keep him healthy.

JULY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Friday Acuna is starting at designated hitter and batting leadoff Friday versus the Reds.

Impact Acuna is back in the lineup after missing four games with a foot injury. The 24-year-old will likely operate as the DH for a few days before he returns the field, as Atlanta has been cautious with his health since his return from last year's knee injury.

Expected back Friday Acuna (foot) is expected to return to the lineup Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Acuna has missed four consecutive games after fouling a ball off his foot Saturday. However, he was available to pinch hit during Thursday's game against the Phillies and has apparently progressed enough to return to the top of Atlanta's lineup Friday.

Remains out of lineup Acuna (foot) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Phillies.

Impact Acuna will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive contest after fouling a ball off his foot Saturday versus the Dodgers. He has stayed in Atlanta during the team's series in Philadelphia to receive treatment, but he could return to the lineup Friday when the squad heads to Cincinnati. Adam Duvall will start in right field and bat seventh in Thursday's series finale.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Acuna (foot) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Acuna fouled a ball off his foot Saturday against the Dodgers and isn't dealing with a fracture, but he'll be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. The 24-year-old stayed in Atlanta to receive treatment while the team traveled to Philadelphia on Tuesday, and it's not yet clear whether he's back with the team. Adam Duvall is shifting to right field while Marcell Ozuna starts in left Wednesday.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Away for treatment Acuna (foot) remained in Atlanta for treatment while his teammates travelled to Philadelphia on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Acuna left Saturday's game against the Dodgers after fouling a ball off his foot and will miss at least two games. While he avoided a fracture, his expected return date is unclear, and this latest report indicates that the issue is serious enough for him to remain home for extra treatment. Manager Brian Snitker indicated his star outfielder could be back with his teammates as soon as Wednesday, however.

JUNE 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Tuesday Acuna (foot) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Even after an off day Monday, Acuna's absence from the lineup for a second straight game comes as no major surprise after he was using a medical scooter to get around the Atlanta clubhouse during Sunday's series finale with the Dodgers. Acuna fouled a ball off his left foot in Saturday's 5-3 win and avoided a fracture, but he's not yet putting much pressure on the bruised foot and could require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Atlanta may want to wait and see how much progress Acuna makes, if any, over the next day or two before determining if he'll need to go on the IL. Mike Ford will enter the lineup in Acuna's stead Tuesday.
