New York Mets shortstop Luisangel Acuna went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals. It was the second home run of the 22-year-old's career, homering in back-to-back games now for the big league club. He's shown well so far in limited action, going 7-for-15 (.467) with three extra-base hits, four RBI, and five runs scored. We have yet to see his speed put on display though after stealing 40 bases in 131 games at Triple-A this season before his call-up. He should get at least one more start while Francisco Lindor deals with his back problem, but it remains to be seen if he'll stick with the team once Lindor returns. Acuna's speed could be an asset off the bench in tight games down the stretch as the Mets push for a playoff berth.
New York Mets shortstop prospect Luisangel Acuna had a milestone evening in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Nationals. The 22-year-old went 3-for-4 with a single, a double, a solo home run, and two RBI. Acuna crushed an eighth-inning Joe La Sorsa offering deep to left-center field for his first big-league long ball. Acuna, who is the Mets' No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has hit .455 with an .818 slugging percentage in his first four games. His numbers with Triple-A Syracuse weren't so stellar that fantasy managers should be placing their trust in him at the end of this season, but they should certainly keep an eye on him for the rest of September.
The New York Mets are calling up infield/outfield prospect Luisangel Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, according to sources. Acuna will mostly serve as infield insurance for the Mets after shortstop Francisco Lindor (back) left Friday night's game against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies due to lower-back tightness. While the 22-year-old is the team's No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, he shouldn't be expected to get any kind of regular run with the Mets in the midst of a push for a wild-card spot in the National League. In his first taste of Triple-A this year, Acuna has hit .258/.299/.355 with seven home runs, 50 RBI and 40 stolen bases in 131 games at Syracuse. The 5-foot-8, 181-pounder is the brother of Ronald Acuna Jr. and is mostly known for his blazing speed. Acuna will most likely serve as a pinch-runner for the Mets down the stretch.
New York Mets shortstop prospect Luisangel Acuna did a little bit of everything on Tuesday night for Triple-A Syracuse, recording a home run as one of his four hits to go with three RBI and two stolen bases. It was the 11th multi-hit, multi-steal game in the minors for the 22-year-old shortstop who was traded to the Mets in the Max Scherzer deal. Acuna is hitting .263/.307/.673 at Triple-A this season with seven homers, 46 RBI, and 34 stolen bases. The Mets' No. 12 prospect is the younger brother of Ronald Acuna, Jr. He offers a 50-grade hit tool with 60-grade speed. There is a lot of upside with Acuna and fantasy managers could see that soon if he is called up when rosters expand in September or at some point next season.
New York Mets infield prospect Luisangel Acuna (foot) was scratched from Triple-A Syracuse's lineup for Thursday's game because he has a sore foot. Acuna, New York's No. 4 prospect for 2024, should be considered day-to-day with the issue, and fantasy managers in dynasty leagues hope it's only a minor setback. It's still yet another roadblock in the way of a potential promotion to the bigs in 2024 for the 22-year-old speedster, who's batting a decent .262 (107-for-408) with 75 runs scored and 31 stolen bases this season, but he has just five home runs, 14 doubles, and 37 RBI in 97 games in the minor leagues. The key piece to last year's Max Scherzer trade with the Texas Rangers for the Mets, Acuna's defense is also a work in progress, and his only pathway to the majors this season likely entails an injury to a member of the middle infield in Queens. If not that, Harrison Bader or Jose Iglesias would likely need to fall into a deep slump.
