Acuna was a batter and hit in games in the minor league camp. But since they are much more flexible in those games, he was exempted from running the bases or fielding.
So basically he would hit, a pinch runner would take his spot. And he could later return to hit again.
They are saving running and fielding for when his knee gets stronger. I think they are wanting him to get that knee stronger than in 2022 and have him come back in a better shape and hopefully be able to make more of an impact this season.
