Braves' Matt Olson: Belts late homer Sunday
Olson went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a two-run home run during Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.
Olson tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the seventh, and after the Phillies scored seven runs in the eighth, he made the score look a little more respectable with a two-run blast in the ninth. Olson is up to 39 home runs on the season, and one more deep ball would mark the second time in his major-league career that he's hit at least 40 homers in a season. He has an .831 OPS with four steals and 85 RBI across 650 plate appearances this season.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Gives up two runs in no-decision
Holmes did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. He did not record a strikeout.
Holmes gave up a two-run homer to J.T. Realmuto in the second inning. The former kept the Phillies off the board over the next two innings but was pulled in the fifth after allowing the first two batters he faced on base, though Ray Kerr was able to get Philadelphia out of the frame unscathed. Holmes ran up his pitch count to 71 with 40 strikes and just five whiffs, and it was the first time this season that he did not record a strikeout. He'll take a 3.49 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 141.2 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against the Astros.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Out of Sunday's lineup
Murphy is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
Murphy started the first two games of the series and will rest for Sunday's finale after going 2-for-7 with a walk, a double and a run scored. Drake Baldwin will step in behind the plate while Ronald Acuna rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Braves' Joe Jimenez: Tosses another bullpen
Jimenez (knee) faced five hitters in a simulated bullpen session Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Jimenez is in the final stages of his recovery from surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, which he underwent in October of 2024. The next step for the veteran right-hander is to pitch in an instructional league game, since the minor-league season is coming to an end. Jimenez is unlikely to pitch for Atlanta this season, but he is trending toward being available for the start of spring training.

Braves' Michael Harris: Breaks out with homer, four hits
Harris went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-2 win over the Phillies.
Harris launched a late three-run blast off position player Garrett Stubbs on Saturday. It still goes down as the outfielder's third four-hit attack of the campaign and was a much-needed one at that; he was just 3-for-35 to begin September prior to Saturday. He's hitting .288 with a career-high 25 homers, 32 doubles, 83 RBI and 11 stolen bases across 542 at-bats this year.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Goes deep in three-hit game
Acuna went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-2 win over the Phillies.
Acuna stayed hot Saturday, hitting safely for the 14th time in his last 18 games. The star outfielder has five multi-hit efforts in the month of September already, piling up 11 RBI in his last nine outings. Through 421 plate appearances, he's slashing a .255/.349/.448 with 17 big flies, 47 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 55 runs scored for his first 20-steal campaign since 2023.

Braves' Tyler Mahle: Smooth sailing in sixth win
Mahle (6-10) tallied the win Saturday against the Phillies, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out six.
Mahle cruised to the victory Saturday, with Atlanta surging for eight runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander has been dealing on the mound in his new digs, surrendering two runs or fewer while pitching at least six innings in six of his last seven outings since joining Atlanta. He'll look to keep the good times going his next time out in Houston, where he'll carry a season 3.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127:43 K:BB over 138 innings.

Braves' Mike Yastrzemski: On bench Saturday
Yastrzemski isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
After going 3-for-3 with a walk during Friday's series opener, Yastrzemski will move to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Mauricio Dubon will shift to center field as a result, opening up shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim.

Braves' Austin Riley: Homers in win
Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Phillies.
Riley launched his seventh career home run off Aaron Nola in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old is hitting .235 over 10 September games, though he's homered twice with seven RBI in that span. For the year, he's slashing .223/.294/.369 with 17 long balls, 68 RBI, 59 runs scored and nine steals across 578 plate appearances.

Braves' Matt Olson: Goes deep in win
Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Phillies.
Olson opened the scoring with a solo homer off the left-field foul pole in the first inning. It was the 32-year-old's first homer in 10 September contests, and he entered the game just 4-for-32 to open the month. On the year, he's slashing .249/.323/.506 with 38 homers, 82 RBI, 95 runs scored and four steals across 640 plate appearances.

Braves' Chris Sale: Extends quality start streak Friday
Sale did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Phillies, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts over seven innings.
Sale allowed a bases-loaded double in the second inning but settled in from there, throwing 59 of 94 pitches for strikes with 11 whiffs. The veteran southpaw has now recorded a quality start in each of his nine outings since the All-Star break, posting a 2.14 ERA during that stretch. He'll take a 2.18 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 190:31 K:BB across 157 innings this season into a road matchup with the Astros next weekend.

Braves' DaShawn Keirsey: Joins Atlanta's roster
Atlanta recalled Keirsey from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
He's taking the roster spot vacated by the injured Lane Thomas (intercostal). Keirsey has slashed .247/.303/.346 with six home runs and 40 stolen bases this season with Gwinnett. The 29-year-old is unlikely to play much in a reserve outfielder role.

Braves' Lane Thomas: Out with intercostal strain
Atlanta placed Thomas on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left intercostal strain.
Thomas suffered the injury prior to Thursday's game against the Rays. The injury is expected to sideline Thomas for one month, but he will visit a doctor Sunday to see if there's anything he can do to speed up his recovery, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
