On the season, Acuna is now slashing .279/.398/.628 with eight homers, two steals, 14 RBI and 20 runs in 25 games.

Impact Acuna sits for the third straight day with right hamstring tightness Wednesday, but it appears as though he's essentially over the issue.

Ender Inciarte remains the starter in center field.

Blasts fifth homer Acuna went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, an additional run scored, a walk and a stolen base during Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Yankees.
Impact The 22-year-old did most of his damage during the matinee, as he crushed a 473-foot homer during his first at-bat and stole second base after earning a walk during the third inning. It was Acuna's first game action since Aug. 10 after battling the wrist injury, and it's a good sign he was able to play both games of the twin bill in their entirety.

Impact Acuna, who will be eligible to return Aug. 21, was reportedly still sore when he came into the stadium Saturday and the team felt it would not be smart to try and push its young superstar through the injury. While Acuna is on the shelf, Ender Inciarte figures to receive the majority of playing time in center field.
