Drives in two, steals bag Acuna went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Impact As expected, Acuna was in the lineup for the team's first game of the week after exiting Sunday's game early with a pectoral injury. He didn't show any ill-effects, as he delivered an RBI double in the fourth inning. He also led off the ninth frame with a single, and he then proceeded to steal second base and come around to score. Acuna has a .285/.390/.597 line with 41 RBI, 53 runs scored and 13 stolen bases across 264 plate appearances this season.

Cleared to start Tuesday Acuna (pectoral) will start in right field and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Impact Just as manager Brian Snitker suggested would be the case, Acuna will be back in the lineup for Atlanta's first game since the star outfielder exited Sunday's 6-4 win over the Marlins with right pectoral tightness. Acuna's removal was described as precautionary at the time, and after having Monday off to recuperate, he looks like he'll be ready to fill an everyday role during Atlanta's six-game week. The 23-year-old is off to an excellent start to June, batting .279 with two home runs, six RBI, six stolen bases and 13 runs through his first 12 games of the month.

Impact Acuna was removed from Sunday's game against Miami as a precautionary measure due to right pectoral tightness. Manager Brian Snitker said that the 23-year-old wanted to play through the injury, but the team chose to hold him out as a precautionary measure. Acuna will receive treatment Monday, but he's expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Red Sox.
