RONALD ACUÑA NEWS

Scratched with sore wrist Acuna was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees with left wrist soreness.

Impact Acuna is considered day-to-day, so it sounds as though he could be back as soon as Wednesday. The Braves have a scheduled off day Thursday, however, so he could get three fulls days to rest his wrist if he remains on the bench for Wednesday's contest. Ender Inciarte was added to the lineup as the center fielder in his absence.

Breaks out in win Acuna went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Impact The 22-year-old star came into the game with a miserable .455 OPS and 17 strikeouts through eight games, but it was only a matter of time before Acuna's bat woke up in a big way. His sixth-inning solo shot off Franklyn Kilome was his first homer of the season, but there should be many more coming as he shakes off his slump.

Doubles during intrasquad game Acuna doubled in his lone plate appearance in Wednesday's intrasquad game, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acuna put both his contact skills and speed on display during his brief cameo in the intrasquad game, which was called after three innings due to rain. After making solid contact on what would have been a routine base hit for most players, Acuna hustled hard out of the batter's box and was able to stretch the single into a double. Acuna was already a defensible No. 1 overall fantasy pick after providing 41 home runs and 37 steals in 2019, but his case for the top spot in drafts is further strengthened by the fact that Angels superstar Mike Trout -- whose wife is due to give birth in August -- is still weighing whether or not he wants to play during the 60-game season.
