Ronald Acuña Jr. Stats

The Atlanta Braves are not considering trading right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. or any other young player they have signed to an extension. The Braves don't award no-trade clauses to players as part of their policy, but a player that signs an extension does it with implicit understanding that he won't be traded. Atlanta is also unlikely to sign a free-agent shortstop other than Dansby Swanson. President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos mentioned Orlando Arcia and Vaughn Grissom as internal options if the team can't re-sign Swanson. Acuna, still only 24, made his third All-Star team in 2022 despite dealing with nagging injuries throughout the season. He finished with a .266/.351/.413 slash line, 15 home runs, 50 RBI, 71 runs scored and 29 stolen bases in 119 games.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (elbow) doesn't have any structural damage to his right elbow after he was hit by a pitch in the Game 2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series on Wednesday. Acuna was in some pain but managed to stay in the game and went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a strikeout in the 3-0 shutout victory. With a day off on Thursday to rest up, Acuna should be back in right field and in the leadoff spot for Game 3 of the series on Friday against Philadelphia. The 24-year-old superstar outfielder is now 4-for-7 with a double, two walks and two runs scored in the first two games of the series, which is knotted at 1-1 heading to Philadelphia for the weekend.
