Braves Star Doing His Best to Keep Team in Postseason Hunt
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Atlanta Braves knew they'd be awaiting the return of both Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. at some point in the first half of the season. Strider has not been nearly as efficient as Atlanta would've hoped, but the same cannot be said about Acuña, the 2023 NL MVP. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 18: Ronald Acuña Jr. #13 of the Atlanta Braves reacts after hitting a lead-off home run during the first inning against the New York Mets at Truist Park on June 18,... ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 18: Ronald Acuña Jr. #13 of the Atlanta Braves reacts after hitting a lead-off home run during the first inning against the New York Mets at Truist Park on June 18, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by) MoreAcuña has been on a tear since returning to the Braves lineup May 23. His first at-bat back resulted in a 467-foot home run off San Diego Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta. That swing proved that despite the time off, Acuña had not missed a beat, and his talent was still up there with the game's best. 467 feet and 115.5 mph on the first pitch he saw 😳 Ronald Acuña Jr. wasted NO TIME in his return last night 😤 (MLB x @googlecloud) — MLB Stats (@MLBStats) May 24, 2025 Since his debut, Acuña has been one of the best players in the league. In 82 at-bats, he has a .390 average, .495 OPB and 1.215 OPS. Acuña has three doubles, eight home runs, 14 RBIs, 19 walks and a stolen base. His presence alone in the Braves lineup has kept them alive in what looked like a lost season. First pitch. Ronald Acuña Jr. was ready 😤 — MLB (@MLB) June 18, 2025 With this season's All-Star Game in Atlanta, Acuña will undoubtedly be a top choice for a starting outfield spot, and he may very well be deserving of one despite missing the first two months of the season. He currently ranks sixth among outfielders in voting and with continued excellence at the plate and on defense, he may play his way right into the All-Star Game at his home stadium while helping Atlanta make a miraculous push at a playoff spot.

Phillies' Rob Thomson Announces Bryce Harper News Before Marlins Game
Phillies' Rob Thomson Announces Bryce Harper News Before Marlins Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies have put together another strong season, currently sitting at 43-30 trailing the New York Mets by a narrow margin of two games in the highly competitive NL East standings. Advertisement As the All-Star break approaches, the Phillies' offensive core has shown consistent production currently tied for sixth in runs scored per game at 4.7, with a team batting average of .257, good enough for second overall in MLB. However, the lineup took a massive hit when Bryce Harper was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 7 due to right wrist inflammation, adding a layer of uncertainty to their offensive strength. Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (3)Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins, Phillies manager Rob Thomson delivered an important update on the status of Harper and starter Aaron Nola. Thomson announced that Harper's range of motion and strength continue to improve, and he is getting close to throwing. He further noted that while signals point to sufficient recovery from Nola's ankle sprain, the veteran right-handed starter will now shift focus to his rib injury. Harper, an offensive force for Philadelphia since signing with them in the 2021 offseason, has seen a dip in his usual numbers during the regular season. He is batting .258 with nine home runs, 34 RBIs, and an OPS of .814 across 57 games this year, well below his career averages. Advertisement An eight-time All-Star and two-time National League MVP, Harper has consistently been among the elite hitters in baseball and his injury progress is a positive sign for the Phillies. As for Nola, his 2025 season has been challenging thus far, as the Phillies' starter has registered a 6.16 ERA in 49.2 innings over nine starts, with a WHIP of 1.51. The surge in earned runs has been attributed partly to his recent rib injury, which now appears to be the focus of his recovery efforts.
