Ozuna, who didn’t play Friday, has two homers in three games after going 21 games without one. It doesn’t seem like his hip is going to allow him to be his usual self during the second half, but the four days off will probably do him some good.

Pitching for his third team this year after being claimed off waivers from the Twins yesterday, Wentz, who was drafted 40th overall by the Braves nine years ago, had one of the better outings of his career after coming into a 3-3 game in the third today. He actually matched his strikeout total from a Twins tenure in which he gave up 14 runs and walked nine in eight innings. The Braves are very short in the rotation at the moment, so they might continue to stretch Wentz out.

Iglesias was pitching for a third straight day, but the result was the same anyway; he’s faced nine batters since Thursday and retired all of them. In fact, he hasn’t given up a hit in five appearances or a run in 14. He’s probably back as the Braves’ sole closer now, though he’s a prime candidate to go if the team decides to sell at the deadline.

It’s the first time Acuña has been moved out of the leadoff spot since making his season debut back in late May. The move might lead to a decrease in stolen base opportunities, if it becomes permanent, but that would be offset by an uptick in RBI chances over the final two-plus months. It’ll be Jurickson Profar leading off on Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium.

Ohtani struck out the side on 12 pitches in the first inning, hitting 100 mph on the fastball. He walked a batter in the second and gave up a hit in the third, but held the Giants scoreless over his three innings of work, reaching 36 pitches before he was relieved by Emmet Sheehan in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old two-way star has allowed just one run with a 10/2 K/BB ratio across nine innings on the mound.

Ohtani, who launched his 32nd round-tripper of the season, will take the ball on Saturday afternoon against the division-rival Giants at Oracle Park for his fifth start of the season. The 31-year-old two-way superstar figures to work at least two innings in his final first-half outing after tossing a pair of scoreless frames last Saturday against the Astros.

Ohtani also drew a walk. The homer gives the reigning MVP 32 roundtrippers on the season and 60 RBI over 363 at-bats. Ohtani now has a two-homer lead over Kyle Schwarber — who also homered Friday — in the National League, and he’s on pace for just-under 55 homers after hitting 54 in 2024.
