Ronald Acuña Jr. - Page 53 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Keeps raking Friday Acuna went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a two-run home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact The young superstar fell one base short of hitting for a cycle. Acuna already has four multi-hit performances and seven extra-base hits (four doubles and three homers) through seven games, giving him a blistering .393/.433/.857 slash line.

Delivers three more hits Acuna went 3-for-6 with a double, two runs, one RBI, two stolen bases and one walk during Wednesday's doubleheader sweep at Washington.

Impact The 23-year-old followed up Tuesday's two-homer performance by going 3-for-4 in Wednesday's matinee to help the Braves snatch their first win of the season. Acuna is 7-for-23 with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI, two stolen bases, two walks and six strikeouts through the first six games of 2021.

Ronald Acuña Jr. and company rock Max Scherzer early, but Braves still can't find a win this season Despite pounding four homers in the first three innings against the Nationals, the Braves still managed to lose on a walk-off in Washington.

Launches two homers off Scherzer Acuna went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs and one additional RBI during Tuesday's 6-5 loss at Washington.

Impact The 23-year-old was 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over the previous two games, but he took Max Scherzer deep twice Tuesday, including a leadoff homer on the first pitch of the afternoon. Acuna will look to build on that production in Wednesday's twin bill against the Nationals.

On base three times in opener Acuna went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Impact The 23-year-old did his job setting the table as the leadoff hitter, but the heart of the Atlanta order wasn't able to take advantage. Acuna is expected to produce massive fantasy numbers once again after falling only three steals shy of a 40-40 campaign in 2019.

Impact The 23-year-old had a slow start to the spring and still only has five hits in 24 at-bats (.208), but four of those knocks have gone for extra bases. Acuna fell three steals shy of a 40-40 season in 2019 and posted a career-high .331 ISO last year, and there's no reason to expect anything but massive fantasy production from him in 2021.

Slow start to spring training Acuna is 1-for-11 with one double and one run in four games through the first week of spring training.

Impact The 23-year-old played through a wrist injury during the playoffs last season, but he's fully healthy in camp and seeing plenty of action early on. Acuna had a .987 OPS with 14 homers, eight stolen bases and 29 RBI in 46 games for Atlanta in 2020, and he should continue to operate atop the lineup for the Braves this season.

Played through wrist issue Acuna played through a sore left wrist throughout the postseason, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Acuna wasn't injured badly enough that the Braves feared he could cause long-term damage, so he played through the issue, knowing that he could heal over the offseason. That perhaps explains why he hit a disappointing .217/.333/.370 in 12 playoff games. It doesn't sound as if the injury is expected to affect him heading into next season.
