He walked in each of his other four plate appearances.

Acuña is now batting .500 in three games with Gwinnett and OPSing 1.917.

He was the DH on Saturday after playing a couple of six-inning outings in right field.

The Braves have a road series coming up and will be back home to host the Padres on May 23, a possible series to bring Acuña back if he can play a couple nine-inning Triple-A games in the meantime.

Coming off his knee injury, Acuña likely won't attempt as many steals, but he'll still be one of the best hitters in baseball.

Acuña's career triple-slash line is .289/.379/.525.

His last full season, 2023, included 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases.

Acuña played 49 games last year before the injury, hitting four homers and stealing 16 bags.

He looks like he'll be back soon to resume his stellar career.
