Matt Olson is as reliable as they come.

The Atlanta Braves' first baseman doesn't miss a day of work. Seriously.

Tuesday night marks Olson's 746th consecutive game played.

That moves him into 12th on the all-time MLB record list for consecutive games, breaking a tie with Pete Rose (745), according to MLB Network's Sarah Langs.

This is how the top-12 of that consecutive games played list looks:

  1. Cal Ripken Jr.: 2,632
