  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers, scores four times in win

    Acuna went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and four runs scored in Wednesday's 12-5 victory over the Angels.

    Acuna launched a 420-foot home run off Lucas Giolito in the bottom of the third, scoring Orlando Arcia and Michael Harris to give Atlanta an early 3-0 lead. The superstar outfielder then proceeded to get on base and score in each of his next three at-bats, coming across home plate a season-high four times in the contest. He's now recorded multiple hits in four of his last six games, scoring nine runs over that stretch to go along with six RBI.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Makes history in victory

    Acuna went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run, a walk and a stolen base Saturday in an 11-5 win against Milwaukee.

    Acuna stuffed the stat sheet yet again in the win, drilling his 24th homer and nabbing his 50th steal of the campaign. The impressive outfielder has homered and swiped a bag in the same contest seven times this season, and he continues to build upon his big-league lead with six thefts over his past six games. Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com, Acuna is the first player in major-league history to have collected at least 20 homers and 50 stolen bases before the start of August.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Steals two more bags

    Acuna went 0-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Red Sox.

    Boston pitchers managed to contain Acuna at the plate, but a second-inning fielder's choice and seventh-inning free pass gave the superstar outfielder chances to add to his league-leading steals total. He's now up to 48 pilfers, five clear of second-place Esteury Ruiz (shoulder), and Acuna has gone 7-for-8 on the basepaths in 10 games since the All-Star break.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Closing in on 50 steals

    Acuna went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

    It's the fifth steal in nine games since the All-Star break for Acuna, as the superstar outfielder seems intent on reaching 50 before the end of the month. He's been his usual devastating self at the plate as well, batting .333 (12-for-36) since the break with two homers, three RBI and eight runs scored. In MLB history, only two players -- Eric Davis in 1987 and Barry Bonds in 1990 -- have recorded 30-50 seasons, but Acuna already has 23 homers and 46 steals with 64 games remaining on the schedule for Atlanta.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Logs steal Sunday

    Acuna went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee.

    Acuna hasn't really slowed down in any sense since the All-Star break -- he's batting .333 (12-for-36) with two home runs and five steals over his last nine games. The continued willingness to run has him up to 46 thefts this season, and he's breezed past the 43 steals of Oakland's Esteury Ruiz, who went on the injured list July 7 with a right shoulder subluxation. Acuna has also collected 23 home runs, 58 RBI, 87 runs scored and a .332/.409/.577 slash line over 98 contests.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Belts two homers in loss

    Acuna went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three total RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the White Sox on Saturday.

    Acuna's jaw-dropping campaign continued despite Saturday's loss, as he registered his second multi-homer game of the season and notched another theft. The superstar outfielder has already set a career high with 43 steals through 91 contests, and with 23 homers so far, he could feasibly challenge the career-best total of 41 he posted in 2019. Acuna's power/speed dominance could win a lot of fantasy leagues this season -- no other player in the league who has 20-plus homers has more than 11 stolen bases.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Gets aboard three times Tuesday

    Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

    There was some concern about Acuna's shoulder after he appeared to jam it on a stolen base attempt Monday. It didn't end up being an issue, and he was back to running again with his 41st steal of the year and his 11th theft in the last 13 games in Tuesday's contest. The five-category superstar continues to dominate -- he's slashing .337/.415/.598 with 21 home runs, 54 RBI and 78 runs scored over 85 games as Atlanta's leadoff hitter.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Makes history with 40th steal

    Acuna went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 win against the Guardians.

    When Acuna swiped second base in the third inning, it gave him 40 steals on the season and made him the first player in MLB history to record 20 homers, 40 thefts and 50 RBI before the All-Star break. The superstar outfielder also extended his hitting streak to 14 games, during which he's batting .375 with six home runs, nine RBI, 16 runs and 10 steals. He did seem to jam his shoulder on the steal while twisting around to stay on the bag, per David O'Brien of The Athletic, and while he stayed in the game, it wouldn't be a surprise if Acuna got a breather Tuesday.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Two more steals Sunday

    Acuna went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

    The superstar outfielder extended his current hitting streak to 13 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .385/.484/.788 with six homers and nine steals. Acuna has 21 home runs and 39 stolen bases through 83 games, with the latter number already representing a new career high. No player in MLB history has ever recorded a 40 HR-50 SB season, but a healthy Acuna seems intent on making history.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Another leadoff homer

    Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Marlins.

    The NL MVP frontrunner took Eury Perez deep to lead off the game, setting the tone for another early offensive eruption -- Atlanta has scored five or more runs in the first inning three times in the last eight days, which is more five-run first frames than any other team has managed all season. Acuna's been the engine fueling that rocket, hitting safely in 12 straight games and slashing .367/.466/.776 over that stretch with six of his 21 homers and seven of his 37 steals on the year.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Ends massive June in style

    Acuna went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's rout of the Marlins.

    Atlanta's leadoff hitter had a starring role in another huge offensive performance for the team, taking Steven Okert deep in the seventh inning to cap a 16-run eruption. Acuna has hit safely in 11 straight games and reached base safely in 18 straight, slashing .361/.453/.764 over that latter stretch, and on the year he's up to 20 homers and 37 steals through 81 games. If he stays healthy in the second half, the 25-year-old is on track to post numbers never before seen in an MLB season.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Keeps piling up stats

    Acuna went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Twins.

    Even when the other team pitches around him, Acuna still find a way to make an impact. The 25-year-old has remarkably either stolen a base or hit a homer, or both, in eight straight games, a stretch in which he's batting .382 (13-for-34) with four long balls and six pilfers. On the season, Acuna's now slashing .331/.408/.585 with 19 homers, 36 steals, 51 RBI and 71 runs in 80 games, and he remains on pace for not just a career-best campaign, but a historic one.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Goes yard twice Tuesday

    Acuna went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Acuna is putting the finishing touches on a massive June that's seen him slash .343/.400/.657 over 23 games with eight of his 19 homers and 12 of his 35 steals on the season.

    Acuna went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's win over the Twins.

Acuna has reached base safely in 15 straight games, a stretch that's seen him slash .333/.411/.651 with five of his 17 homers and seven of his NL-leading 35 steals on the season.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Swipes 35th bag

    Acuna went 2-for-6 with a pair of doubles, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Reds.

    Acuna has stolen a base in five straight games, and he had to swipe third to get it done Sunday. The outfielder has hit safely in all but three of his 21 games in June, batting .337 (31-for-92) for the month. The star outfielder leads the National League with 35 steals, and he trails only Oakland speedster Esteury Ruiz in the majors. Acuna is slashing a superb .328/.402/.561 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI, 67 runs scored, 23 doubles and a triple through 77 contests.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Continues MVP-caliber season

    Acuna went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Reds.

    It was a slugfest in Cincinnati, with Acuna accounting for one of five Atlanta homers in an 11-10 defeat. He's now up to 16 home runs and 33 steals to go along with an eye-popping .329/.403/.563 slash line across 75 games. The 25-year-old has been the most valuable asset in rotisserie baseball so far this year, and by a fair margin over the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Corbin Carroll and Freddie Freeman. The homer was Acuna's first since June 14, but the big game was the fourth time he's put up three hits this month.
