Ronald Acuna Jr. went 2-for-4 with a walk and three stolen bases for La Guaira of the Venezuelan Winter League on Sunday.Acuna cut back on his running after returning from a torn ACL last season, finishing with nine steals in 95 games for the Braves, but he's swiped six bags in just three games for the Tiburones. That seems like a big deal for his 2026 fantasy value, though running so much might make it more likely that he gets hurt again.
Adbert Alzolay, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, made his first appearance for the Leones del Caracas on Saturday and allowed two runs in an inning.One of the runs scored on a Ronald Acuna Jr. single. It's Alzolay's first game action since May 2024, so he was bound to be a little rusty. The former Cubs closer has a chance to be a big part of the Mets bullpen next season, probably in a setup role.
Ronald Acuna Jr. is set to begin playing in the Venezuelan Winter League on Friday.Acuna obviously couldn't play for his hometown team last winter because he was recovering from an ACL tear, but this will be his third stint with La Guaira in the last four years. He hit .398/.524/.717 over 31 games in the first two.
