The Atlanta Braves have won three straight games yet still find themselves 16 games under .500 with a record of 51–67. Atlanta entered the season with expectations of making a deep postseason run but now seems destined to miss the playoffs for the first time in seven years.
The team has been impacted greatly by injuries, most notably Ronald Acuna Jr., who has been on a second injured list stint since July 30 after suffering a Grade 1 right calf strain.
Acuna has only appeared in 55 games in 2025, missing the first two months of the season while recovering from his second ACL tear, which he suffered last year.
