As we move into another weekend, we will be watching three things in the baseball world:
1. Acuña returns:
Waiting for Atlanta fans is finally over: The Braves will reactivate the outfielder today (mostly) to go all out Ronald Akunia Jr. From the injured list. The 27-year-old superstar and 2023 NL MVP had almost gone out of the game in a calendar year after tearing the ACL apart last May, and the Braves struggled a bit in his absence. The club made the playoffs last year for a final, but continued to sweep the NL Wild Card series, and they only recently recovered the .500 record after the 2025 season began 0-7. Career.289/.379/.525 batsman Acuña should certainly help Atlanta's offensive dilemma. Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris II And the PED suspension signed during the offseason Jurickson Profar.
2. Overhaul of the roster in West Sacramento?
A is in a tough position. The club worked hard to try to stay away from Auckland in the offseason, and in the offseason, they have now lost nine straight times and returned to Earth. It seems that the failed winning streak may be the reason for the reorganization of the lineup. Outfielder Denzel Clarke While the move itself does not constitute a major change for lineup ESPN's Jeff Passan, A laughed at the possibility of taking more moves as he tried to get things back on track. Will the lineup look very different next week when facing the Astronauts, or even the Phillies tonight?
3. NLCS replays in Queens:
The defending World Series champion is about to be Queens, which means last year's NLC rematch for the Dodgers and the Mets. Of course, the Dodgers ended up winning the last six games, but both teams made a lot of upgrades during the offseason. The series starts tonight with the Long-term Dodge at 7:10 NY local time in New York Clayton Kershaw On the mound that appeared for the second time this season. The Metropolitan will be with Canned Griffinhis ERA had 2.47 at the start of nine times. Will see it on Saturday Tony Gonsolin (4.05 ERA) ranked fifth in this year's match against Southpaw David Peterson (2.86 ERA), while Sunday's game will feature Dodge's youngsters Randon's Tips (6.14 ERA) vs. Mets ace Kodai Senga (1.43 ERA).
