Ronald Acuña Jr. - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back in lineup at DH on Tuesday Acuna will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

Impact Acuna was activated from the injured list ahead of Monday's series opener but did not play in the contest. He's back in there Tuesday and could be limited to DH duty for a bit as he returns from a hamstring strain. Jose Azocar is in right field for Atlanta on Tuesday.

Activated on Monday after all Atlanta activated Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Manager Walt Weiss had indicated earlier Monday that the club could wait until this weekend before reinstating Acuna, but it opted to speed up that timeline after the outfielder got through a full workout without issue Monday. He is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener in Miami, but Acuna will be available off the bench and should return to the starting nine Tuesday. He's been out since early May with a strained hamstring.

Day-to-day, should be back Friday Manager Walt Weiss said that Acuna (hamstring) is viewed as day-to-day at this stage in his recovery, but Atlanta may wait until the start of their home series Friday versus the Na...

Impact Though Acuna won't be reinstated ahead of Monday's series opener in Miami, Weiss said that the five-time All-Star hasn't been ruled out from returning for any of the final three games of the series versus the Marlins. That said, a weekend return appears more likely for Acuna, given that the synthetic turf at Miami's loanDepot Park could put added stress on the 28-year-old's legs. Acuna has been on the shelf since May 3 due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain but should be ready to handle an everyday role in right field whenever he's activated.

Impact Weiss had already previously ruled out the possibility of Acuna returning this weekend. Bowman speculates that the club could be targeting May 22 -- which is the beginning of a brief three-game homestand -- for Acuna's return. The star outfielder has been sidelined since early May with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.

Impact Acuna hasn't hit any snags in his recovery from the Grade 1 left hamstring strain that sent him to the IL on May 3; Atlanta is seemingly just exercising some caution in bringing the prized outfielder back from the injury. Per Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta, Weiss emphasized that Acuna has looked great during running drills and checked out fine while sprinting at a little more than 50 percent speed during a pregame workout Wednesday.

Impact Acuna was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain and landed on the shelf May 3 and began ramping up his rehab work over the weekend. The 28-year-old doesn't appear too far off from being activated from the injured list, though Weiss also said that it will be "some time" before Acuna is reinstated, per Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta.

Ramping up activity Acuna (hamstring) did agility drills in the outfield during this past weekend's series in Dodger Stadium, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

Impact Atlanta manager Walt Weiss downplayed the idea of the superstar outfielder returning from the injured list when first eligible May 13, however, "I guess there's a chance, but it's just so hard to say," Weiss said Friday. "He's just now starting to move around and that type of thing. He's got a lot out in front of him still, but like I said, we didn't think it was all that serious when it happened. I think there's a good chance he'll be back sooner than later, but he's still got a lot of boxes he still needs to check." Acuna hasn't played since May 2, and through 34 games this season he's posted a disappointing .252/.362/.378 slash line with two homers and seven steals.
