Year of the Rookie? Early Strugglers? Ten Things We've Learned So Far MLB Season

On base three times in win Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

Impact The star outfielder has had a slow start to the season, but Acuna may be finding his rhythm. He's collected five hits over the last four games, inching his slash line on the season up to .204/.310/.265 with three doubles, two RBI, three runs and two steals. Acuna's still looking for his first homer of 2026.

Picks up second steal Acuna went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over Arizona.

Impact Acuna has two steals on three attempts this season. The star outfielder has yet to get his bat in order -- he's batting just .179 with a .528 OPS over eight contests so far, but the early slump hasn't cost him his leadoff spot. Acuna has been limited by injuries in the last two years, logging 25 stolen bases over 144 contests after posting 73 thefts on 87 attempts over 159 games during the 2023 regular season. If he can stay healthy, his power/speed combination is among the best in baseball, but Acuna has topped 120 games played just twice in the first eight years of his career.

Reaches base four times in win Acuna went 2-for-2 with one double, one run scored and two walks in Monday's 4-0 win over the Athletics.

Impact After going just 1-for-12 at the plate with zero extra-base hits and a 1:3 BB:K in Atlanta's opening series against the Royals, it was a nice rebound game for Acuna, who reached base four times and logged his first extra-base hit of the 2026 season. Acuna is slashing .214/.353/.286 across 18 plate appearances through four contests.
