Braves' Ronald Acuna: Stays hot in win
Acuna went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and three runs scored in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Colorado.
Acuna's red-hot 2025 rolled on, as he notched his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and launched his seventh home run of the season. The 2023 National League MVP didn't make his season debut until May 23 after recovering from a torn ACL, but he's been among the league's top hitters since. The superstar is slashing .387/.471/.707 with 10 extra-base hits and 13 RBI over 87 plate appearances across 20 games.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Steals first bag of season
Acuna went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Rockies.
The 27-year-old superstar has been on fire at the plate since coming off the IL in late May, slashing .375/.458/.667 with six homers in 19 games, but Friday's pilfer came on his first steal attempt of the season. Acuna was expected to run less after recovering from his latest ACL surgery, but the lack of activity on the basepaths is still a disappointment for fantasy investors given that he swiped a league-leading 73 bags in 2023. With one successful steal under his belt and his knee holding up just fine post-surgery, Acuna might begin to pick up the pace and return to being one of the preeminent five-category assets in the game.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homer, three hits in win
Acuna went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.
Acuna extended Atlanta's lead to 5-1 with a 416-foot blast in the fourth inning. The superstar thrived in Milwaukee, going 7-for-12 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored during the three-game set. On the season, he's slashing .353/.436/.647 with six long balls, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored across 78 plate appearances.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Launches long ball in victory
Acuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two walks Monday in a 7-1 win against the Brewers.
Atlanta was shut out through four frames before Acuna put the team on the board with a 404-foot solo shot in the fifth. It was the star outfielder's fifth long ball over 16 games since making his season debut May 23. Acuna has yet to attempt a steal this season, which cuts into his fantasy value considerably, but he's been plenty productive at the plate with a .999 OPS through 69 plate appearances.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers in win
Acuna went 2-for-3 with with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Red Sox.
Acuna scored the game's first run in the opening frame and then crushed a 428-foot blast off Walker Buehler in the fourth. The 27-year-old outfielder has been red-hot since making his season debut May 23, hitting safely in seven of eight games with four multi-hit performances. Through 34 plate appearances, Acuna is slashing .367/.441/.733 with three homers, six RBI and six runs scored.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Getting first rest of season
Acuna is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.
Acuna should be back in the lineup for the nightcap, but Atlanta isn't yet ready to have him play two nine-inning games on the same day after he returned from the 15-day injured list last week. The 27-year-old has yet to attempt a stolen base through four games with Atlanta or during his six-game minor-league rehab assignment, but his surgically repaired left knee doesn't seem to be presenting any complications for him in the outfield or when he runs the bases. Acuna has also been dialed in at the plate since being activated Friday, going 5-for-16 with two home runs, a double and two walks.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers again in win
Acuna went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Padres.
Acuna followed up his season debut with a 427-foot homer to extend Atlanta's lead in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old did strike out three times, but it's encouraging to see his power return so quickly after ACL surgery. Through two games back from a year-long absence, he's gone 3-for-9 with two home runs and three RBI while batting leadoff in both contests.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers in 2025 debut
Acuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Padres.
Acuna was cleared to make his 2025 debut Friday after a year-long recovery from an ACL tear in his left knee. The 2023 National League MVP returned in style, taking the first pitch he saw from Nick Pivetta deep to center field for a 467-foot solo home run, the longest homer of the season for Atlanta. Acuna added a single in the third frame and showed his fielding chops in the eighth, when he nabbed Elias Diaz trying to leg out a double. Acuna is expected to be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game but could be rested in Sunday's series finale.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Activated ahead of 2025 debut
Atlanta activated Acuna (knee) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Acuna is ready for his long-awaited 2025 debut following a long road back from ACL surgery on his left knee. The 27-year-old slashed .417/.632/.833 with one home run and a 7:2 BB:K in five rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett to convince Atlanta he was ready to roll. Acuna will likely see some extra days off initially as the club eases him back into action, and he has indicated previously that he does not intend to be as aggressive on the basepaths as he was before the surgery -- he didn't even attempt a stolen base during his rehab stint, after going 16-for-19 on steals over 49 games in 2024 prior to getting injured.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Return confirmed for Friday
Acuna (knee) will be activated from the injured list Friday and be in Atlanta's lineup against the Padres.
Acuna was scratched from Thursday's lineup with Triple-A Gwinnett, suggesting he would be back at some point during Atlanta's weekend series versus San Diego. That move has now been announced by the team, though he'll still need to be officially activated from the injured list. Acuna hit .417/.632/.833 across 19 plate appearances with Gwinnett and will be set to appear in a big-league game for the first time since May 26, 2024.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Signs point to debut Friday
Acuna (knee) was a healthy scratch for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Acuna's scratch from the Triple-A lineup indicates that he will be rejoining Atlanta for his 2025 MLB debut Friday against the Padres. If the superstar does indeed make his return, it will come three days shy of the one-year anniversary of his ACL tear. The outfielder has looked good in his rehab stint, going 6-for-15 with two home runs, two doubles and seven free passes. Defensively, the 27-year-old played a full nine innings as an outfielder for the first time during his rehab Wednesday. It appeared he was going to play a full nine innings in the outfield Tuesday, but the game was cut short in the fifth inning due to rain.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Could debut this weekend
Acuna (knee) is set to continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the week, but he could be a candidate to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Atlanta's three-game series with the Padres that begins Friday, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.
Atlanta has yet to offer word on when Acuna might be cleared to return from the IL to make his 2025 debut with the big club, but his 20-day rehab window will come to an end June 2. He seems likely to return from the IL before then, but a firm target date may not come into focus until Atlanta has a chance to reassess his surgically repaired left knee after at least a couple more games. Thus far over his four rehab games between the Triple-A club and the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Acuna has gone 4-for-9 with two solo home runs, a double and a stellar 6:0 BB:K, but he has yet to attempt a stolen base over his 15 plate appearances. He's made three of his four rehab starts as an outfielder but has yet to play a full nine innings on defense, and he may need to play two nine-inning games in right field on back-to-back days before Atlanta brings him back from the IL.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Two hits in Thursday's rehab game
Acuna (knee) went 2-for-3 with a double for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
The star outfielder also had some defensive gaffes in right field, but at least at the plate Acuna is looking like he may not need anything close to the full 20 days on his rehab assignment before he'll be ready to make his 2025 debut with Atlanta. Gwinnett's current homestand lasts through the weekend, and per Theo DeRosa of MLB.com, it's not clear yet whether Acuna will head out on a road trip to Louisville with the Stripers or have his rehab stint transferred to Double-A Columbus, which starts a homestand against Montgomery on Tuesday.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Heading for Gwinnett
Acuna (knee) will have his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of the Athletic reports.
After playing just six innings for Atlanta's Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday in the first game of his rehab stint, Acuna will be jumped straight to the top level of the minors for his second. It's a strong sign the 27-year-old outfielder may not require the full 20 days before he's ready to be activated from the IL for his season debut, but so far Atlanta has been very deliberate with the superstar's recovery from June 2024 ACL surgery. A timeline for his return may not come into focus until Acuna is able to play back-to-back nine-inning games without issue.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers in first rehab game
Acuna (knee) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday in his first rehab game with Atlanta's Florida Complex League affiliate.
After grounding out in his first plate appearance and lining out in his second trip to the dish, Acuna popped a solo shot to center field in the fifth inning in his third and final plate appearance. He also played six innings in right field. Acuna will likely remain with the rookie-level affiliate for a bit before moving to a higher level to continue his rehab assignment. He could make his season debut with Atlanta before the end of May if all goes well, but if the team elects to use the full 20 days on his rehab assignment, he would rejoin the lineup June 3 to begin a home series against the Diamondbacks.
