Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. led the way offensively Tuesday in an 8-2 win over the Washington Nationals, going 2-for-5 with two solo home runs. He now has 15 for the year. It's been a down year for the right fielder, who has a .781 OPS in 113 games this season, a number which sits well below his career .892 mark. Still, Acuna Jr. has racked up 69 runs scored, 49 RBI, and 28 steals in 507 plate appearances. Those numbers will play, even if they don't live up to the first-round price tag for fantasy managers.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) is back in right field and is hitting leadoff on Monday against the Washington Nationals and right-hander Cory Abbott. Acuna hadn't started the team's previous four games due to mid-back tightness, but he had two at-bats as a pinch-hitter on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies and is now back in there for fantasy managers to begin the week. Get the 24-year-old All-Star back into all starting lineups in season-long leagues. In 19 games so far in September, he's gone 20-for-76 (.263) with two home runs, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases. The fact that he's back in right field means that his back issues are hopefully a thing of the past.

The 24-year-old has been dealing with mid-back tightness and hasn't started a game for the Braves since Sept. 21, but the fact that he entered the game on Sunday and got two at-bats is a good sign that he might be able to return on Monday for the start of a series against the Washington Nationals. He's been in and out of the lineup at times this year due to various injuries. Acuna is hitting .263 (20-for-76) with two home runs, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases in 19 games in September.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Acuna missed the game on Thursday with mid-back tightness and will now miss his second straight game. It remains to be seen if he'll be available at all this weekend against Philadelphia, but fantasy managers will be hoping that the All-Star outfielder will be able to return soon. Robbie Grossman is back in right field and is hitting ninth on Friday against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. The 33-year-old veteran slugger won't have much DFS upside in the nine-hole, and he's hitting just .210/.312/.313 on the season with seven home runs, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and six stolen bases in 390 at-bats.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Phillies and the club is "unsure" about his availability for Friday's matchup. The 24-year-old felt some mid-back tightness following batting practice, and manager Brian Snitker stated that something "banged on him" after hitting in the cage afterwards. It's a situation to monitor for fantasy managers heading into the weekend, so be sure to check back for an update prior to tomorrow's game.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies with mid-back tightness. Until we know more about Acuna's condition, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Robbie Grossman is moving to right field and will bat ninth, while Marcell Ozuna is now starting in left field and hitting eighth against Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez. Hopefully, Ozuna's injury isn't serious enough to keep him out for the remainder of the 2022 regular season as the Braves try to take the National League East division from the New York Mets. Stay tuned for more information on Acuna's injury later on Thursday night or early Friday.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. recorded two hits in five at-bats on Wednesday when his team lost to the Washington Nationals 3-2. He singled twice, scored once, and had an RBI. After missing almost the first month of the year, Acuna Jr. has been a bit disappointing over 110 games, posting a .270/.356/.416 slash line with 13 HRs, 66 runs, 46 RBI, and 28 stolen bases. Those marks are still good for fantasy managers, but the home run shortage isn't something they were expecting after smashing 24 in 84 games season a year ago. Nonetheless, Acuna Jr.'s a superstar that needs to start every day.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Ryan Feltner, serving as the designated hitter and batting in his customary leadoff spot. Acuna will return to action after missing the last three games with right knee pain. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups in all formats. The 24-year-old superstar will look to stretch his modest hitting streak to six games.

The 24-year-old is hitting .274 with a .367 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and 25 stolen bases in 411 plate appearances this season. Instead, Robbie Grossman will start in right field and bat ninth against the Rockies. The veteran is hitting .226 with a .304 on-base percentage, two home runs, and a stolen base in 69 plate appearances since joining Atlanta via a trade with the Detroit Tigers. He could be worth a look as a streaming option on Tuesday for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The organization had Acuna sit out Saturday as well, so clearly they want him to get some extra rest. It doesn't sound like the 24-year-old is dealing with an injury. Robbie Grossman will cover right field and bat ninth against right-hander Adam Wainwright on Sunday. The expectation is that Acuna will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest, but fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is out of the lineup tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals. Manager Brian Snitker said that it is just a day of rest for Acuna, so hopefully he can get back in there tomorrow. Although his numbers are solid, Acuna has been a bit of a disappointment for fantasy managers this season. He has just 57 runs, 35 RBI, and 10 homers over 354 at-bats this season. The 25 steals are certainly a nice addition, but more power numbers were expected from the Braves' superstar. He has been dealing with multiple injuries, which could be part of the reason for the power dip. Still, he's certainly worthy of starting in all formats. Guillermo Heredia, Robbie Grossman, and Michael Harris II will cover the outfield in Acuna's absence.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. Acuna was removed from Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Miami Marlins due to right knee soreness. The team held him out as a precaution on Sunday.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was removed from the second game of a doubleheader Saturday with knee soreness, but the club insists it was precautionary and he should be considered day-to-day. The 24-year-old played the full nine innings of game one, and made it through seven innings of the evening tilt before getting lifted after going 2-for-4 with a homer. Acuna mentioned that playing on the turf in Miami had an impact on his soreness, so managers should monitor his situation before tomorrow's finale to see if the Braves give him a day off before returning home for a series against the Mets starting on Monday.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is back in right field and is hitting in his usual leadoff spot on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox and left-hander Rich Hill. Acuna was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to lower-body soreness, but he came in as a pinch-hitter and is ready to resume starting duties after the team's off day on Monday. Fantasy managers need to get him back into their lineups in all leagues. The three-time All-Star is hitting .267/.359/.406 with nine home runs, 28 RBI, 44 runs scored and 23 stolen bases in 334 plate appearances and 74 games played. Injuries have kept him off the field more than fantasy managers would like in 2022, but he's a must-start when he's in the starting lineup.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. isn't in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Acuna is in a bit of a slump at the plate lately and will get a normal day to rest, so fantasy managers need to pull him out of their lineups. His recent cold stretch has dropped his season line to .259/.357/.398 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 39 runs scored and 21 stolen bases in 251 at-bats. Acuna is still a must-start in fantasy when he's on the field. Eddie Rosario is starting in right field and hitting fifth against Phillies right-hander Kyle Gibson. In only 96 at-bats in 2022, Rosario has struggled, going 14-for-96 (.146) with two home runs and six RBI.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in the team's 6-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. He now has eight stolen bases over 21 games this month and a total of 21 stolen bases across 63 games on the year. Despite missing significant time due to injuries, Acuna is tied for third in all of the majors in stolen bases. His elite production on the base paths has helped make up for his disappointing output in other categories thus far in 2022. He owns a .264/.363/.407 slash line on the year to go along with just eight home runs. His .770 OPS is a career-low clip, well below his career .904 OPS. His underlying metrics are also mostly down from his career marks, but he still maintains a 90th percentile average exit velocity (91.6 mph) and a 95th percentile xwOBA (.378).

Across 58 games, he's slashed .270/.366/.420 with eight home runs, 22 RBI and 38 runs. While his underlying stats are mostly down from previous years, they still suggest that he's been a bit unlucky so far. He has a .289 xBA and a .557 xSLG and his 116.6 mph max exit velocity ranks in the 98th percentile. Expect to see some better power numbers from Acuna during the second half of the season.

Acuna is serving as the designated hitter and will bat leadoff, and fantasy managers need to get him back into their lineups in all single-year formats. The 24-year-old All-Star will return for the first time since fouling a ball off his foot last Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It may be a few games before he returns to his usual spot in right field, but the only thing fantasy managers care about is that he's back in the lineup. Acuna is hitting .281/.372/.455 on the season with an .828 OPS, seven home runs, 18 RBI, 28 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 43 games. He's a must-start.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (foot) will be held out of the starting lineup for the fourth consecutive game on Thursday as the team takes on the Philadelphia Phillies. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Acuna joined the team for pregame stretching and batting practice on Thursday. There's a chance he could be available off the bench as a pinch-hitter on Thursday, but Braves manager Brian Snitker hasn't received confirmation of his availability from the team trainer yet. Regardless, Acuna appears to be getting close to a return and Snitker is hopeful that Acuna will be back in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds.

Acuna will miss his fourth straight game after fouling a ball off his foot last Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 24-year-old remains in Atlanta while receiving treatment, but fantasy managers will be crossing their fingers that he can rejoin the team for a series this weekend against the Cincinnati Reds that begins on Friday. Acuna hasn't been able to escape the injury bug this year, but he's been a stud when he's been on the field. Adam Duvall is starting in right field again and is batting seventh, while William Contreras is the designated hitter and is batting sixth against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola on Thursday.
