Braves' Matt Olson: Smacks another home run
Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Washington.
Olson put Atlanta on the board in the second inning when he took Mitchell Parker deep to center field for a solo homer. Olson has recorded at least one RBI in each of his last four games, going 8-for-16 with three home runs and five RBI over that span. He has slashed .250/.315/.531 across 73 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Braves' Spencer Strider: Takes loss in return
Strider (0-2) took the loss in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three across 4.1 innings.
Strider was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's start after missing the last month due to a strained hamstring. He got off to a poor start by yielding three first-inning runs before giving up a fourth run in the second on a Dylan Crews solo homer. Strider has been limited to just two starts this season due to injury and has a 5.79 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 9.1 innings. He'll look for his first win of the season in his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against San Diego.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Could debut this weekend
Acuna (knee) is set to continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the week, but he could be a candidate to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Atlanta's three-game series with the Padres that begins Friday, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.
Atlanta has yet to offer word on when Acuna might be cleared to return from the IL to make his 2025 debut with the big club, but his 20-day rehab window will come to an end June 2. He seems likely to return from the IL before then, but a firm target date may not come into focus until Atlanta has a chance to reassess his surgically repaired left knee after at least a couple more games. Thus far over his four rehab games between the Triple-A club and the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Acuna has gone 4-for-9 with two solo home runs, a double and a stellar 6:0 BB:K, but he has yet to attempt a stolen base over his 15 plate appearances. He's made three of his four rehab starts as an outfielder but has yet to play a full nine innings on defense, and he may need to play two nine-inning games in right field on back-to-back days before Atlanta brings him back from the IL.

Braves' Nick Allen: Swipes sixth bag
Allen went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.
The 26-year-old shortstop swiped his sixth bag of the year, although it's taken him 10 attempts to get there. Allen has taken over the starting job for Atlanta primarily due to his defense -- he ranks in the 100th percentile in fielding range, per Statcast -- but he's providing a smidge of fantasy value in deeper formats with a .260/.324/.293 slash line, 10 RBI and 11 runs over 40 games.

Braves' Matt Olson: Stays hot with two doubles
Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.
The first baseman has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, with four of his seven hits during that stretch going for extra bases including homers Friday and Saturday. Those were Olson's multi-hit efforts in May however, as he began the month slashing .173/.254/.365 with a 35.6 percent strikeout rate in 14 games. Despite that cold spell, he has respectable power numbers on the year with nine homers and 25 RBI in 47 contests, and he's more than capable to stretching his current heater straight through into June.

Braves' Alex Verdugo: On base four times in win
Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.
The veteran outfielder put together his best performance in May as Atlanta's leadoff hitter. Verdugo's mostly struggled this month however, slashing just .210/.269/.258 through 16 contests, and he's still looking for his first homer of the season after 26 games. It's still not clear when Ronald Acuna (knee) might be activated from the injured list, but Verdugo's window for proving he deserves to keep a starting job once the superstar is ready to make his 2025 debut is rapidly closing.

Braves' Spencer Strider: Activated ahead of Tuesday's start
Atlanta activated Strider (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Atlanta is idle Monday, but Strider is expected to make his return to the rotation Tuesday with a start against the Nationals on the road. The right-hander missed nearly a month of action with a strained hamstring and was cleared to return after completing a 65-pitch simulated game last week. Strider probably won't be ready for a full workload Tuesday, and his velocity was down a tick during the sim game. However, he gets a favorable matchup Tuesday and is also lined up for a second start later this week at home versus the Padres, so fantasy managers will want to include him in active lineups.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Goes seven innings in win
Schwellenbach (3-3) earned the win against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over seven innings.
Schwellenbach surrendered a grand slam to Rafael Devers in the third inning but otherwise turned in six scoreless frames. The 24-year-old needed just 81 pitches to notch his second consecutive seven-inning outing, though he's recorded only six strikeouts over those two starts. He'll carry a 3.52 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 49:12 K:BB across 61.1 innings into a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Braves' Austin Riley: Tallies three hits in win
Riley went 3-for-6 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Red Sox.
Riley was a thorn in Boston's side Sunday, tying the game with an RBI single in the fourth inning while scoring runs in the first and eighth frames. The third baseman is slashing an impressive .300/.355/.429 in May, though he hasn't homered since going deep twice May 4. On the year, he sports a .287/.335/.451 slash with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and two steals across 209 plate appearances.

Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Homers again in win
Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Red Sox.
Ozuna drove in a run on a single in the third inning and crushed a 430-foot two-run homer in the eighth. The long ball was his second in as many days, and the 34-year-old has produced five extra-base hits and nine RBI over his past 10 contests. On the year, he's slashing .267/.420/.467 with eight home runs, 22 RBI and 22 runs scored across 193 plate appearances.

Braves' Dylan Dodd: Returns to Triple-A
Dodd was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after Sunday's 10-4 win over the Red Sox, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Dodd will head back to Triple-A after being promoted to the major-league roster prior to Atlanta's three-game set in Boston over the weekend. The left-hander failed to appear in a contest while with the big-league club, and he'll now have to wait for his next shot with the team later this season. The transaction opens a space for Spencer Strider (hamstring) to return from the 15-day injured list Tuesday in Washington.

Braves' Kevin Herget: Claimed off waivers
Atlanta claimed Herget off waivers from the Mets on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
The Mets designated Herget for assignment Thursday, and the veteran reliever will get a fresh start with Atlanta. Herget yielded one run in two innings during his lone MLB appearance in 2025, and he logged a 2.87 ERA in 15.2 innings for Triple-A Syracuse.

Braves' Spencer Strider: Likely to start Tuesday
Strider (hamstring) appears set to return to Atlanta's rotation Tuesday versus Washington, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Manager Brian Snitker said late last week that Strider would be activated from the injured list to start one of the team's three games in Washington, and given that Atlanta has listed AJ Smith-Shawver and Chris Sale as its probable pitchers for Wednesday and Thursday, the writing is on the wall for Strider to return for the first game of the series. The ace right-hander will forego a minor-league rehab assignment, though he did toss 65 pitches in a sim game last Wednesday. He could be on some sort of a pitch count in his return, but he'll draw a favorable assignment against a Nationals lineup that ranks 20th in MLB in team OPS (.688).
