• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Launches clutch homer in win

  Rotowire Sep 6, 2026

  Acuna went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Phillies. Acuna got Atlanta on the board with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning before tying the game on a three-run blast in the eighth. The 28-year-old has now hit safely in four straight contests, collecting 10 hits, three homers and nine RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .255/.351/.446 with 16 long balls, 45 RBI, 52 runs scored and 20 steals across 396 plate appearances.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Makes history in Wednesday's win

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2026

  Acuna went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-0 rout of the Nationals. The seventh-inning long ball off Max Kranick was Acuna's 14th of the season, while the steal was his 20th, but it's the homer that put his name in the record books as the 200th of his career. The star outfielder reached that mark in just 904 games, and combined with his 225 stolen bases, he became the fastest player in MLB history to join the 200-200 club, surpassing Alfonso Soriano's record of 929 games. Per Ian Nicholas Quillen of MLB.com, the next four names on the list are just as impressive -- Eric Davis (1,053 games), Bobby Bonds (1,065), Sammy Sosa (1,094) and Barry Bonds (1,094). Acuna has had a tough, injury-plagued season overall, but he's catching fire for the stretch run, batting .455 (10-for-22) over his last six contests with a homer, two steals, four RBI and six runs.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Crosses home three times Friday

  Rotowire Aug 28, 2026

  Acuna went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and three runs scored during Atlanta's 6-4 win over the Rockies on Friday. Acuna entered Friday's game having gone 5-for-41 (.122) across his 10 prior games. He ended up setting a season high Friday with three hits, and it was the fourth time this year that he reached base safety four times. Acuna is currently sitting at a career low in batting average (.235) and has a .748 OPS in 361 plate appearances, but perhaps Friday's performance is a sign the veteran outfielder will find another gear for the stretch run.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Logs steal Sunday

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2026

  Acuna went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic. Acuna has gone 4-for-32 (.125) with a 3:13 BB:K and two steals on three attempts over his last eight games. This was just his second game without a strikeout in that span, but his timing at the plate appears to be just a bit off right now. For the season, the star outfielder has struggled more than usual, batting .232 with a .745 OPS, 13 homers, 17 steals, 35 RBI, 44 runs scored, 12 doubles and one triple over 79 contests.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Swipes first bag since return

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2026

  Acuna went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks. He also struck out three times, but Acuna's pilfering of third base in the fifth inning, on the front end of a double steal with Matt Olson, was a very encouraging sign, as it was the star outfielder's first stolen base 19 games since returning from a hamstring strain in late July. If Acuna is feeling more confident in the health of his legs, he could be a lot busier on the basepaths down the stretch. On the season, he sports a .244/.350/.441 slash line with 13 homers and 16 steals in 72 contests.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Launches leadoff long ball in loss

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2026

  Acuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Acuna helped Atlanta get off to a nice start with a 429-foot solo blast to center field to lead off his team's half of the first inning. However, Arizona stormed back to log a blowout win. Acuna nonetheless bounced back after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the opening game of the series Friday. He's up to 13 home runs on the season, with five of those long balls coming across his first 13 contests in August.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Slugs 12th homer

  Rotowire Aug 8, 2026

  Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees. The star outfielder took Brent Headrick deep in the eighth inning as Atlanta tried to mount a late comeback. Acuna has found his power stroke late in the season, and five of his 12 homers on the year have come in the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .270 (10-for-37) with six RBI.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Logs two homers in victory

  Rotowire Aug 7, 2026

  Acuna went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in an 11-3 win over the Marlins on Thursday. Acuna's homers weren't exactly moonshots -- one was the result of two Marlins outfielders colliding and knocking the ball over the wall, and the other traveled an estimated 337 feet -- but they counted all the same. It was the second multi-homer game of the season for the star outfielder and the 16th time he's achieved the feat in his career. Acuna is slashing .244/.358/.436 with 11 home runs, 27 RBI, 39 runs and 15 stolen bases through 63 contests on the campaign.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Goes deep Saturday

  Rotowire Aug 2, 2026

  Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in an 8-3 win against the Nationals on Saturday. Acuna kicked off the scoring with a 419-foot solo shot to center field in the first inning. It was the star outfielder's second long ball in three games and just his third hit of any sort over six contests since returning from the injured list July 27. Acuna has struggled to a .136 batting average (3-for-22) since his return and has struck out at least once in each game during that span, so he seems to be still shaking off some rust.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Collects hit in return

  Rotowire Jul 28, 2026

  Acuna went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Mets. Making his return from a seven-week absence due to a hamstring strain, Acuna slotted back in as Atlanta's leadoff hitter and laced a single off Zac Thornton in his first trip to the plate before coming around to score on an Ozzie Albies knock. Acuna has had a disappointing, injury-plagued season so far, and through 54 games he's managed a .251/.371/.417 slash line with seven homers, 15 steals, 22 RBI and 32 runs.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Reinstated from injured list

  Rotowire Jul 27, 2026

  Atlanta activated Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday. Acuna has been cleared to return to action after missing more than a month with a left hamstring strain. He split time between right field and designated hitter while on a rehab assignment, but Atlanta plans for Acuna to go back to being its everyday right fielder.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Activation coming Monday

  Rotowire Jul 27, 2026

  Atlanta will activate Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Mets, Buster Olney of ESPN reports. Acuna has been shelved since mid-June with a left hamstring strain, his second hamstring-related absence this season. He played nine rehab contests, going 6-for-26 with one home run and a 6:6 BB:K. In 53 games with Atlanta this season, Acuna has slashed .251/.373/.421 with seven home runs and 15 stolen bases.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Not activated Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 26, 2026

  Acuna (hamstring) isn't included in Atlanta's lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles and appears unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list until at least Monday. Acuna isn't believed to have experienced any setbacks with his left hamstring during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett, but he'll get at least one day of rest after he went 1-for-3 with a walk while playing right field in one game of a doubleheader Saturday. Assuming the 28-year-old joins the big club on its upcoming road trip to New York, he could be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Mets.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Could be back Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 25, 2026

  Acuna (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list until at least Sunday, Ian Quillen of MLB.com reports. Acuna had been scheduled to play a rehab game at Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, but a rainout muddles Atlanta's plans for activating the star right fielder. Gwinnett has a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday, and MLB manager Walt Weiss didn't rule out Acuna playing both ends of it before rejoining the big club. Atlanta planned to have the 28-year-old back in its lineup this weekend, so a Sunday activation remains possible. Acuna has been sidelined since June 9, and over 53 games for Atlanta this season he's managed a .794 OPS with seven home runs and 15 steals.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Uncertain to return before Thursday

  Rotowire Jul 20, 2026

  Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that Acuna (hamstring) isn't guaranteed to be activated from the 10-day injured list before Atlanta's homestand ends Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. "He's still got some days ahead of him," Weiss said. "We just want to make sure he doesn't have to try to figure it out or struggle up here. A guy like Acuna... moves the needle for our team. But we have to use good judgment there." Acuna is now five games into a rehab assignment and has gone 2-for-12 with a home run and 4:3 BB:K between stops in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Triple-A Gwinnett. After serving as a designated hitter in the first four contests, Acuna played right field for the first time Sunday with Gwinnett, and the organization could keep the five-time All-Star at Triple-A for a few more games in order to pick up more defensive reps. Until Acuna is deemed ready to rejoin the big club, Atlanta will get by with a combination of Brewer Hicklen and Eli White in right field.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Might return for homestand

  Rotowire Jul 17, 2026

  Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Friday that he hopes Acuna (hamstring) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list before the end of the team's homestand next Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. Acuna has played three rehab games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and was transferred to Triple-A Gwinnett earlier Friday to continue his rehab assignment. He was used in the designated hitter slot for all three contests in the FCL, and Atlanta likely needs to see Acuna play right field before reinstating him from the IL. Acuna has been shelved since early June due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Moving rehab up to Triple-A

  Rotowire Jul 17, 2026

  Acuna's (hamstring) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. Acuna went 1-for-7 with a grand slam in three rehab games at the rookie-level Florida Complex League and will now test things out against a higher level of competition. He was used in the designated hitter slot for all three contests in the FCL, and it's unclear when Acuna will be worked back into things in right field. Atlanta has not revealed a target date for Acuna's return to the active roster, but it should happen soon.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers in rehab game

  Rotowire Jul 16, 2026

  Acuna (hamstring) belted a grand slam and drew a pair of walks in Thursday's rehab game in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. It was the third rehab contest for Acuna, who went 0-for-6 in his first two games. He has yet to play the outfield, as Atlanta is bringing Acuna along slowly as he works his way back from his second injured-list stint this season caused by a left hamstring strain. If Acuna is activated for the beginning of the second half, Atlanta could initially use him only at DH.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Nearing rehab assignment

  Rotowire Jul 7, 2026

  Manager Walt Weis said Tuesday that Acuna (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. The 28-year-old has been on the injured list due to a hamstring strain for about a month, but he's nearing the final stage of his rehab program. Acuna won't be rejoining Atlanta before the start of the All-Star break, though he may not miss much time, if any, to begin the second half of the season.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Lands on IL with strained hamstring

  Rotowire Jun 10, 2026

  Atlanta placed Acuna on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left hamstring. Acuna injured his hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the White Sox while trying to beat out an infield single. The outfielder missed a little over two weeks of action in May with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, though it's unclear what the grade of strain is this time around. Atlanta could use Mauricio Dubon more in the outfield while Acuna is shelved, and Eli White should also see a boost in playing time.
