Scouting Report: Luisangel Acuna
Chicago White Sox | 2B
Overall
Summary
Luisangel Acuña, 24-year-old Venezuelan infielder acquired by the Chicago White Sox in a trade from the New York Mets (for Luis Robert Jr.), has struggled significantly in 2026. After starting the season as a utility player with versatility across shortstop, second base, and center field, Acuña has lost playing time due to poor offensive production. In April, he appeared in 21 games with a .183 batting average (11 hits in 60 at-bats), 3 RBIs, and 4 runs scored. Through May, his performance has deteriorated further to .181/.242/.193 with zero home runs over 92 plate appearances. The White Sox trade that sent Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets has yielded minimal return value, with Acuña failing to produce at the major league level and fellow prospect Truman Pauley struggling in Single-A with a 6.98 ERA.
