Ronald Acuna Jr. Back In Lineup Against Phillies

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (calf) has returned to right field and will hit leadoff on Monday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler. Acuna, the front-runner for National League MVP, missed the last two games as a precaution due to calf tightness. The 25-year-old superstar will be back in action to begin the week, though, so he needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups immediately. More off days could be coming to ensure he's fully healthy and rested for the start of the postseason after the Braves already clinched the National League East division. Acuna is hitting an absurd .337 with league-highs in hits (201), runs scored (135), stolen bases (66), on-base percentage (.418) and total bases (350) in 147 games.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Out On Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (calf) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Miami Marlins. The 25-year-old phenom left Friday's contest early with calf tightness so the Braves want to give him an extra day to rest up. This move makes sense with the NL East division already clinched and the playoffs right around the corner. However, this still impacts fantasy managers, who are likely in the middle of a playoff race themselves if they roster Acuna Jr., so he should be considered day-to-day. Acuna Jr. is slashing an absurd .337/.418/.586 with 37 home runs, 98 RBI, and a league-leading 66 stolen bases over 597 at-bats on the season. The National League MVP award is as good as his. Michael Harris II is batting leadoff in his place on Saturday against Marlins starter Bryan Hoeing.

Ronald Acuna Jr. In Wednesday's Lineup

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (elbow) is right back in right field and in his customary leadoff spot on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie right-hander Quinn Priester after getting hit by a pitch on his left elbow in Tuesday's contest. X-rays came back negative for anything serious, though, which was a huge sigh of relief for the Braves and fantasy managers everywhere. The 25-year-old is one of the best players in baseball and needs to be in all starting fantasy lineups now that he's back in the lineup a day later. Acuna can do it all, as evidenced by his .339/.422/.587 slash line, 1.008 OPS, 26 home runs, 28 doubles, two triples and 68 RBI in 111 games. The four-time All-Star leads the league with 53 stolen bases, a .422 on-base percentage and 100 runs scored.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Removed From Tuesday's Contest

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (elbow) left Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates early after he was hit by a pitch on his left elbow, according to the team. He's undergone X-rays, which came back negative, but fantasy owners should still consider the superstar day-to-day. Acuna Jr. is in the midst of an MVP-caliber season, slashing .339/.422/.587 with 26 homers, 100 runs, 68 RBI, and 53 stolen bases. Those are historic numbers, so hopefully, he can return without a trip to the injured list. While he's on the sidelines, expect Kevin Pillar to take over in the outfield. The former Toronto Blue Jay is batting .264 against left-handers with four home runs and a .770 OPS, making him a decent streaming option in the right matchups.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Makes History In Saturday's Win

Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a stolen base, and an additional run scored in Saturday's easy 11-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The 25-year-old singled on Julio Teheran's first pitch of the game before swiping his 50th bag of the season, eventually crossing the plate to score as part of Atlanta's six-run ambush. With the pilfer, Acuna became the first player in MLB history to total at least 20 home runs and 50 steals before August. The four-time All-Star singled once more during the second frame before getting picked off attempting to steal his 51st base of the year. Acuna would then wallop a fourth-inning two-run homer and tack on an eighth-inning walk to wrap up his historic evening. The NL MVP front runner is slashing a phenomenal .333/.416/.578 with 24 long balls, 54 RBI, and an MLB-high 91 runs scored in 469 plate appearances.

Mookie Betts Making Another Run At MVP

In 2018, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was the American League MVP, slashing .346/.438/.640 and winning a World Series with the Boston Red Sox. With the Dodgers this season, he is batting .285/.385/.587 and has set a franchise record with 10 leadoff home runs. Betts' defensive contributions at shortstop and second base are keeping him in the MVP conversation. His infield contributions can't be ignored, with just three defensive errors on the season. While he is still behind Ronald Acuna Jr., and competing against his teammate, Freddie Freeman, for this year's MVP award, his defensive versatility is keeping him in the conversation.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Looks To Continue Strong First Half

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is looking to continue his incredibly strong first half of the season as the second half begins on Friday. The Braves kick off a home series against the Chicago White Sox on Friday, followed by another three-game set vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks. Acuna Jr. put together an incredible first half, as did most of the Braves offense. He's currently slashing .331/.408/.582 with 21 home runs, 55 RBI, and 41 stolen bases across 359 at-bats. He's on pace to break all of his previous career marks and the 41 stolen bases is already a career-high for the 25-year-old. He's also on track to join the rare 40/40 club, which only has only been achieved four times in MLB history, most recently by Alfonso Soriano in 2006. Acuna Jr. was already a menace on the basepaths but he's taken full advantage of the new rules. Considering he's already notched the 40 stolen bases and the fact that he's just 15 home runs away from 40, we could be looking at a truly historic season for Acuna Jr.
