2025 Fantasy Outlook
First off the board in nearly all drafts last spring, Acuna suffered a complete tear of the ACL in his left knee in late May, ending his season. President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said in November that Acuna is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day in 2025, and he had previously indicated the outfielder's absence could extend into June on the lengthier end of his timetable. Acuna's numbers were down virtually across the board before the injury, as he managed just four homers in 222 plate appearances while his strikeout rate more than doubled to 23.9%. He dealt with meniscus irritation in his right knee in spring training, which could explain some of the issues. A four-time All-Star and former MVP entering his age-27 season, Acuna is on a Hall of Fame trajectory, but the fact that he tore both ACLs in the span of three years has to bring into question his durability and the sustainability of his production, at least to the levels we've seen so far in his career. It may be best to set expectations closer to 2022 when he was coming off his prior knee repair surgery. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a seven-year, $99.94 million contract extension with the Braves in April of 2019. Contract includes $17 million team option ($10 million buyout) for 2027 and $17 million team option ($10 million buyout) for 2028.
Tending to mild calf strain
Acuna was diagnosed with a Grade 1 lower right calf strain Wednesday following an MRI, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Earlier in the day, Atlanta placed Acuna on the 10-day injured list due to what the team referred to as right Achilles inflammation, but the MRI has since ruled out an Achilles injury. While the diagnosis of a mild calf strain amounts to good news for Acuna, he's still likely to be out beyond the minimum 10 days, with Mark Bowman of MLB.com previously relaying that the 27-year-old could return to action in 2-to-3 weeks. A clearer timeline for Acuna's return should become available once he's able to resume taking part in full baseball activities, but with Atlanta shaping up as non-playoff contenders, he's not expected to be rushed back from the IL until the team is fully confident that he's 100 percent recovered from the calf strain.

Stat Review
How does Ronald Acuna compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Acuna went as the No. 1 overall pick in most fantasy drafts last spring and rewarded that faith by filling up box scores every time he stepped on the field. Not only did he join Jose Canseco, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez and Alfonso Soriano as the fifth member of the 40-40 club, Acuna also established the 40-50 club, the 40-60 club and the 40-70 club. It was a historically-great individual season that culminated in a unanimous selection for National League MVP. Some amount of natural regression has to be expected in 2024, but there is no evidence suggesting what Acuna did last year was fluky. He ranked in the 100th percentile in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG and average exit velocity while appearing in 159 of a possible 162 regular-season games for the NL East champions. Maybe the steals won't be fully repeatable -- Acuna ranked in just the 65th percentile in sprint speed in 2023 -- but he's a smart baserunner with a perpetual green light under manager Brian Snitker. Entering his age-26 campaign, the superstar outfielder should again be first off the board in every standard league.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Atlanta not considering trade
According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, Atlanta has "no interest or plans" to trade Acuna and won't consider any trade offers.
Analysis
Atlanta has a disappointing 40-51 record with just four games remaining before the All-Star break, so trade rumors have naturally started to circulate. Acuna missed the start of the season while completing his rehab from a torn ACL in his left knee, but he's been electric since making his season debut in late May with 11 homers, four steals and a .336/.454/.601 slash line in 41 games. The 27-year-old is under team control for three more seasons after 2025 for just $51 million, and Atlanta would understandably rather retain the superstar instead of trying to cash in that affordable contract via trade.
