Drives in one, swipes bag Acuna went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run scored, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Acuna marked up the scoresheet Thursday, driving in one while also stealing a base and scoring. It was his third stolen base this past week, giving him a total of 14 on the season, enough for third-best in all of baseball. The 23-year-old's speed is just an added bonus on top of his .294/.398/.605 slash line and 18 home runs. He trails only Fernando Tatis in home runs plus steals. Acuna is riding a current 25-game streak of reaching base safely.

Drives in two, steals bag Acuna went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Impact As expected, Acuna was in the lineup for the team's first game of the week after exiting Sunday's game early with a pectoral injury. He didn't show any ill-effects, as he delivered an RBI double in the fourth inning. He also led off the ninth frame with a single, and he then proceeded to steal second base and come around to score. Acuna has a .285/.390/.597 line with 41 RBI, 53 runs scored and 13 stolen bases across 264 plate appearances this season.

Cleared to start Tuesday Acuna (pectoral) will start in right field and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Impact Just as manager Brian Snitker suggested would be the case, Acuna will be back in the lineup for Atlanta's first game since the star outfielder exited Sunday's 6-4 win over the Marlins with right pectoral tightness. Acuna's removal was described as precautionary at the time, and after having Monday off to recuperate, he looks like he'll be ready to fill an everyday role during Atlanta's six-game week. The 23-year-old is off to an excellent start to June, batting .279 with two home runs, six RBI, six stolen bases and 13 runs through his first 12 games of the month.

Expected to return Tuesday Acuna (pectoral) isn't expected to miss additional time, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Acuna was removed from Sunday's game against Miami as a precautionary measure due to right pectoral tightness. Manager Brian Snitker said that the 23-year-old wanted to play through the injury, but the team chose to hold him out as a precautionary measure. Acuna will receive treatment Monday, but he's expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Red Sox.

Impact The team's description of Acuna's injury suggests he's merely dealing with a day-to-day concern, but fantasy managers will need to keep close tabs on his status nonetheless heading into a six-game week that begins with a matchup Tuesday against the Red Sox. Guillermo Heredia came off the bench Sunday to replace Acuna in the Atlanta outfield.

Impact Acuna stuffed the stat sheet as usual, stealing his 12th base of the season and producing his third multi-hit game of June. The 23-year-old slugger is slashing .282/.393/.608 with 31 extra-base hits and 50 runs scored. After not stealing a base for the last 15 games in May, Acuna has already racked up six this month.

Impact The 23-year-old launched a solo homer 460 feet to left field during the third inning, and he tacked on a pair of insurances runs with a two-RBI single during the eighth. Acuna was 1-for-11 with five strikeouts over the previous three contests, but he busted out of the mini-slump Tuesday. He has a .288/.395/.621 slash line with 18 home runs and 38 RBI in 54 games.
