AUGUST 14, 2020 • Associated Press

Won't play this weekend Acuna (wrist) will miss the three-game series in Miami this weekend but won't be placed on the injured list, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 22-year-old will end up missing at least five games due to a sore left wrist, but the team hopes he'll be ready to rejoin the lineup after resting for a few days. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Wednesday's MRI came back clean, and revealed Acuna only dealing with some irritation. Ender Inciarte and Adam Duvall should continue to see more consistent starts in the outfield for the Braves in the meantime.

Remains out Wednesday Acuna (wrist) isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

Impact Acuna was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to left wrist soreness and was set to have the issue examined Wednesday. While the results of his examination aren't yet known, he'll take a seat ahead of Thursday's off day. Ender Inciarte will start in center field with Acuna on the bench.

Wright expected to start for Atlanta at New York

The New York Yankees take on the Atlanta Braves

AUGUST 12, 2020 • Associated Press

Heading for examination Wednesday Acuna will have his left wrist examined Wednesday in New York, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with left wrist soreness, and he seems unlikely to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Yankees, especially with a scheduled off day to follow Thursday. More information should be available on the injury after Acuna is evaluated.

Scratched with sore wrist Acuna was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees with left wrist soreness.

Impact Acuna is considered day-to-day, so it sounds as though he could be back as soon as Wednesday. The Braves have a scheduled off day Thursday, however, so he could get three fulls days to rest his wrist if he remains on the bench for Wednesday's contest. Ender Inciarte was added to the lineup as the center fielder in his absence.

On base three times Monday Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.

Impact After a slow start to the season, Acuna's bat has woken up, to the surprise of no one. The 22-year-old has gone 6-for-17 (.353) over the last four games, drawing two walks for good measure, while adding a homer, three runs and four RBI to his ledger.

Breaks out in win Acuna went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Impact The 22-year-old star came into the game with a miserable .455 OPS and 17 strikeouts through eight games, but it was only a matter of time before Acuna's bat woke up in a big way. His sixth-inning solo shot off Franklyn Kilome was his first homer of the season, but there should be many more coming as he shakes off his slump.

Doubles during intrasquad game Acuna doubled in his lone plate appearance in Wednesday's intrasquad game, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acuna put both his contact skills and speed on display during his brief cameo in the intrasquad game, which was called after three innings due to rain. After making solid contact on what would have been a routine base hit for most players, Acuna hustled hard out of the batter's box and was able to stretch the single into a double. Acuna was already a defensible No. 1 overall fantasy pick after providing 41 home runs and 37 steals in 2019, but his case for the top spot in drafts is further strengthened by the fact that Angels superstar Mike Trout -- whose wife is due to give birth in August -- is still weighing whether or not he wants to play during the 60-game season.
