Braves' Ronald Acuna: 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.
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.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Dealing with Grade 1 strain
Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that Acuna has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The 28-year-old outfielder was placed on the injured list earlier Sunday after sustaining the injury during Saturday's 9-1 win over the Rockies, but he appears to have avoided a more serious setback than Atlanta had feared. Acuna is without an official timeline for his return, but the encouraging diagnosis could mean that his absence isn't a lengthy one.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Lands on IL with hamstring strain
Atlanta placed Acuna on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.
Acuna was lifted from Saturday's 9-1 win over the Rockies in the second inning due to hamstring tightness, prompting Atlanta to send him in for an MRI following the game. Though Atlanta hasn't offered up a timeline for Acuna's return after assessing his imaging, the club quickly determined that the five-time All-Star's injury was significant enough to keep him out for at least the next week and a half. Atlanta called up Jose Azocar from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move, but Eli White and Mauricio Dubon are the more likelier candidates to see added reps in the outfield while Acuna is shelved.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Will undergo MRI on hamstring
Manager Walt Weiss said Saturday that Acuna will undergo an MRI on his injured left hamstring, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Acuna grounded out in the second inning Saturday against Colorado and came up limping after taking off out of the batter's box. He was immediately removed from the game and will now undergo further testing. It certainly didn't have the look of an injury that is going to allow Acuna to play Sunday versus the Rockies. With Michael Harris already battling a quad issue of his own, Atlanta was forced to start Mauricio Dubon in center field Saturday. Eli White replaced Acuna in right field following his injury.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Leaves game with hamstring injury
Acuna was removed in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Rockies due to left hamstring tightness.
Acuna came out limping out of the batters box after a groundball out in the second inning and was taken out of the game shortly after. Atlanta should have another update on the superstar outfielder's hamstring during or shortly after Saturday's game once he undergoes further tests on the injury. Eli White is in at right field following Acuna's exit.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: On base three times in win
Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Rockies.
The star outfielder produced his third multi-hit performance in the last five games as he continues to tease a breakout. Acuna hasn't gone on a prolonged hot streak yet in 2026, slashing .248/.360/.376 with two homers, nine RBI and 16 runs in 33 games, but seven steals in 11 attempts is at least a strong sign his knees are feeling 100 percent healthy.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Pair of doubles Tuesday
Acuna went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.
Acuna led off the bottom of the first with a double and then doubled home a run in the third inning, getting the best of Casey Mize both times before the right-hander was lifted with groin tightness. Acuna has posted back-to-back two-hit games, as his bat is starting to heat up after an extremely slow start to the season. He's slashing .248/.360/.381 with just two homers, nine RBI, 15 runs scored, six stolen bases and an 18:26 BB:K across 136 plate appearances.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Swipes sixth bag
Acuna went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
The steal was Acuna's sixth of the season in 29 games, albeit in 10 attempts. While it's encouraging to see the 28-year-old outfielder running more freely -- it took him 95 games to record 10 SB attempts in 2025 -- Acuna's bat hasn't gotten going yet, as he's slashing .239/.356/.358 with two homers, eight RBI and 14 runs.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Swats second homer Friday
Acuna went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Friday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.
After Trea Turner hit a two-run homer in the top of the third inning, Acuna answered right back with a game-tying two-run shot of his own off Andrew Painter in the bottom half of the frame. It was just Acuna's second homer of the season and snapped an 11-game drought after it took him 14 games to hit his first of the year. He's been scuffling at the plate to begin the 2026 campaign and will carry a .235/.350/.363 slash line with two homers, eight RBI, 12 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 16:22 BB:K over 123 plate appearances into the weekend.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Good to go Tuesday
Acuna (hand) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Nationals.
Acuna exited Monday's contest after being struck in the left hand by a pitch, but he's back in the lineup a day later after X-rays came back negative. The 28-year-old outfielder has a .304/.418/.500 slash line with four doubles, a triple, a homer, two steals, three RBI and nine runs in his past 12 games as he's bounced back from a slow start to the campaign.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Considered day-to-day after HBP
Acuna, who was removed from Monday's 9-4 win over Washington after being hit by a pitch on his left hand, is considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative.
Acuna was plunked twice in the contest, taking a Jake Irvin sinker to his left elbow in the top of the fourth inning before being hit in the hand by an Irvin four-seamer in the sixth. The star outfielder appeared to be in pain after he was hit for the second time and was pulled from the game in the bottom of the frame. Atlanta has no plans to send Acuna in for an MRI, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, but he could be held out of Tuesday's game as a precaution.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Lifted early Monday
Acuna exited Monday's game against the Nationals with an undisclosed injury, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Acuna was hit by a pitch twice before leaving the game. The more concerning HBP took place in the top of the sixth inning, when he was struck on the left hand, though he managed to remain in the game to run the bases after being examined by the club's medical staff. Acuna will presumably be sent for further tests to determine the severity of his injury.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Heating up
Acuna went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Guardians.
The star outfielder's RBI double capped a three-run second inning for Atlanta in what ended up being a 13-1 rout. Acuna has a sluggish start to the season, but he's found a groove over the last week or so, batting .323 (10-for-31) over the last seven games with three doubles, a triple, a homer, a steal, three runs and three RBI.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Rallies Atlanta with solo shot
Acuna went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI single during Atlanta's 11-5 win over Cleveland on Friday.
Acuna put Atlanta on the board with an RBI single in the third before kick-starting the team's six-run sixth inning with a solo homer off Slade Cecconi. It was Acuna's first home run of the season and first RBI since April 2 against the Diamondbacks. He has logged three multi-hit games over his last five outings and has gone 7-for-23 (.304) over that span.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: On base three times in win
Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Angels.
The star outfielder has had a slow start to the season, but Acuna may be finding his rhythm. He's collected five hits over the last four games, inching his slash line on the season up to .204/.310/.265 with three doubles, two RBI, three runs and two steals. Acuna's still looking for his first homer of 2026.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Picks up second steal
Acuna went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over Arizona.
Acuna has two steals on three attempts this season. The star outfielder has yet to get his bat in order -- he's batting just .179 with a .528 OPS over eight contests so far, but the early slump hasn't cost him his leadoff spot. Acuna has been limited by injuries in the last two years, logging 25 stolen bases over 144 regular-season contests after posting 73 thefts on 87 attempts over 159 games during the 2023 regular season. If he can stay healthy, his power/speed combination is among the best in baseball, but Acuna has topped 120 games played just twice in the first eight years of his career.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Reaches base four times in win
Acuna went 2-for-2 with one double, one run scored, two walks and a stolen base in Monday's 4-0 win over the Athletics.
After going just 1-for-12 at the plate with zero extra-base hits and a 1:3 BB:K in Atlanta's opening series against the Royals, it was a nice rebound game for Acuna, who swiped his first bag and logged his first extra-base hit of 2026. He's slashing .214/.353/.286 across 18 plate appearances through four contests.
