Ronald Acuña Jr. - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Collects hit in return Acuna went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Impact Making his return from a seven-week absence due to a hamstring strain, Acuna slotted back in as Atlanta's leadoff hitter and laced a single off Zac Thornton in his first trip to the plate before coming around to score on an Ozzie Albies knock. Acuna has had a disappointing, injury-plagued season so far, and through 54 games he's managed a .251/.371/.417 slash line with seven homers, 15 steals, 22 RBI and 32 runs.

Reinstated from injured list Atlanta activated Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Acuna has been cleared to return to action after missing more than a month with a left hamstring strain. He split time between right field and designated hitter while on a rehab assignment, but Atlanta plans for Acuna to go back to being its everyday right fielder.

Activation coming Monday Atlanta will activate Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Mets, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

Impact Acuna has been shelved since mid-June with a left hamstring strain, his second hamstring-related absence this season. He played nine rehab contests, going 6-for-26 with one home run and a 6:6 BB:K. In 53 games with Atlanta this season, Acuna has slashed .251/.373/.421 with seven home runs and 15 stolen bases.

Impact The five-time All-Star was reported to have a chance of rejoining Atlanta for Sunday's series finale in Baltimore, but he's not in the starting lineup and instead appears set to come off the injured list Monday. Acuna has been sidelined since just before the All-Star break due to the hamstring strain, but he was only kept out of game action for a few days before he began a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old began the rehab stint in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and built up slowly. In nine games between the two minor-league levels, he posted a .231/.364/.346 slash line with six walks and a homer.

Not activated Sunday Acuna (hamstring) isn't included in Atlanta's lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles and appears unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list until at least Monday.

Impact Acuna isn't believed to have experienced any setbacks with his left hamstring during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett, but he'll get at least one day of rest after he went 1-for-3 with a walk while playing a full nine innings in right field for the affiliate Saturday. Assuming the 28-year-old joins the big club on its upcoming road trip to New York, he could be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Mets.

Could be back Sunday Acuna (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from the IL until at least Sunday, Ian Quillen of MLB.com reports.

Impact A rainout Friday for Triple-A Gwinnett put a bit of a hiccup into Atlanta's weekend plans for their start right fielder as he wraps up a rehab assignment. Gwinnett has a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday, and MLB manager Walt Weiss didn't rule out Acuna playing both ends of it. "There's a chance he'll play both," Weiss said Friday. "I think it's two [seven-inning games]. There's a chance he'll play both. He'll let us know when he feels like he's ready to go." Atlanta planned to have the 28-year-old back in the big-league lineup this weekend, so a Sunday activation remains possible. Acuna has been sidelined since June 9, and over 53 games for Atlanta this season he's managed a .794 OPS with seven homers and 15 steals.

Impact Acuna will play his eighth and likely final rehab game Thursday with Triple-A Gwinnett. A return to the active roster Friday is possible, though the club could elect to give Acuna a day to rest before activating him later in the weekend. The star outfielder has been sidelined since early June due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.

Uncertain to return before Thursday Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that Acuna (hamstring) isn't guaranteed to be activated from the 10-day injured list before Atlanta's homestand ends Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com...

Impact Acuna is now five games into his rehab assignment and has gone 2-for-12 with a home run and 4:3 BB:K between stops in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Triple-A Gwinnett. After serving as a designated hitter in the first four of those contests, Acuna started in right field for the first time Sunday with Gwinnett. Since Weiss noted that Atlanta plans to use Acuna primarily in right field once he's activated, the organization could be inclined to keep the five-time All-Star at Triple-A for a few more games in order to pick up more defensive reps. Until Acuna is deemed ready to rejoin the big club, Atlanta will likely get by with a combination of Brewer Hicklen and Eli White in right field.
