Ronald Acuña Jr. took his time to build back up to succeed out of the gate for the Atlanta Braves. Months of simply working in the cages and taking his time with the use of his legs after another ACL surgery panned out with an electric return in his first 20 games.

MLB Sends Ronald Acuna Message After Braves Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It’s been a long road back for Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. Just over a year ago, Acuna went down with a torn ACL. It took nearly a full year before he returned to action, but when he did, he wasted no time making an impact.

Spencer Strider carved up Rockies hitters with a dominant performance, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 4-1 victory at Truist Park. Strider struck out 13 batters in six shutout innings, and only one of the Rockiers’ four baserunners against him reached second base.

Spencer Strider took a step in the right direction in his 13-strikeout, scoreless performance for the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. It was his first strong performance of the 2025 campaign, struggling in his first five starts of the season.

The Braves have reasons to believe they are just getting started. And the two biggest ones are Acuña and Strider.

The Braves managed to win another series with a chance at a much-needed sweep on Sunday behind a vintage Spencer Strider performance that was a sight for sore eyes. Strider’s velocity looked much more like we have been used to seeing from him than before his injuries and his strikeout stuff did too.

Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly argued the Atlanta Braves should re-sign designated hitter Marcell Ozuna and not trade him at the MLB deadline.

As the Braves languished through the first five innings of a 12-4 win over the Rockies on Friday night at Truist Park, there was reason to think about what they might get for Marcell Ozuna and others if they end up being sellers before the Trade Deadline.

The Atlanta Braves will send right-hander Grant Holmes to the mound on Sunday afternoon in an effort to sweep their three-game series with the visiting Colorado Rockies.
