Reaches 15 stolen bases Acuna went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base Thursday against the Red Sox.

Impact Acuna remains almost exclusively in a short-side platoon, though he's seen an uptick in playing time with the White Sox facing four lefties in the last five games. He's gone 4-for-8 in that span, with his only counting stats coming Thursday. Acuna also reached 15 stolen bases on the season.

Slugs first homer Acuna went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Tigers.

Impact Acuna has been limited to a short-side platoon role for most of the season, with his start Sunday marking only his fifth against a righty since the start of May. He did manage to make a positive impression with his opportunity, smacking a two-run home run in the sixth inning off Keider Montero for his first long ball of the season. Acuna's playing time keeps him off the fantasy radar in nearly every format, though he has gone 10-for-24 with five RBI and four runs scored since June 1.

Steals three bases Tuesday Acuna went 2-for-3 with one walk, three stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Impact It was just Acuna's ninth start since the beginning of May. He made noise on the bases Tuesday, generating Chicago's first run on his own. After a leadoff walk in the third inning, Acuna stole second and third before scoring when Alex Jackson threw the ball into left field on the second swiped bag. Acuna showed what he can do when he gets on base, but getting on base has been the problem for him this season. Acuna is slashing a miserable .179/.233/.189 with one extra-base hit, five RBI, 12 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a 7:21 BB:K across 117 plate appearances.

Losing playing time versus righties Acuna is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Impact On the bench for a fifth straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Jack Kochanowicz), Acuna appears to have moved into the short side of a platoon in center field with the left-handed-hitting Tristan Peters. Acuna has actually fared better against righties than lefties this season, but he's still slashing just .205/.294/.227 across 52 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching. The 24-year-old has no minor-league options remaining, which may be the only reason the White Sox haven't yet demoted him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Resting Saturday Acuna isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Idle Thursday Acuna isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Arizona.

Impact Acuna will take a seat to begin Thursday's contest after going just 4-for-31 (.129) over his last 10 games. While he sits, Sam Antonacci, Tristan Peters and Everson Pereira will start across the outfield for Chicago.

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Acuna is not in the White Sox's lineup in Arizona on Tuesday.

Impact Acuna is getting a breather Tuesday after going 3-for-8 with a RBI, walk and two stolen bases in the three game series versus the Athletics over the weekend. While he begins the game on the bench Tuesday, Tristian Peters will start in center field and bat eighth.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Saturday's lineup Acuna is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.

Impact Acuna was productive in Friday's series opener, going 2-for-4 with a a steal, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in a 9-2 win. He'll be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while the White Sox roll with Sam Antonacci, Tristan Peters and Everson Pereira in the outfield from left to right.
