What a week it was! The Atlanta Braves third baseman has finally seen a lot of his hard work show up on the stat line after a rough start.

Earlier in the season, Atlanta Braves OF Ronald Acuna won honors as the NL Player of the Week after being denied that recognition the week before — despite better numbers — thanks to a timely no-hitter out West.
