Jurickson Profar has been bumped up to the leadoff spot for Sunday morning’s finale against Baltimore. It’s a well-deserved off day for Acuña, who has torn the cover off the ball since returning from the injured list to make his season debut back in late May, hitting .333/.452/.565 with 34 runs scored, nine homers, 18 RBI and four steals through 39 games. The 27-year-old generational talent will start the upcoming Midsummer Classic for the National League in addition to competing in the All-Star Home Run Derby at Truist Park.

Ozuna takes a seat after an 0-for-4 performance out of the sixth spot in Atlanta’s lineup on Saturday left him hitting .159 (18-for-113) with one homer and 32 strikeouts over his last 30 games. He’s just 3-for-24 over his last seven games. The 34-year-old veteran has been playing through a hip tear for most of this season, but has insisted that it isn’t impacting his performance. We’re not convinced. It’ll be rookie sensation Drake Baldwin taking over at DH and batting sixth on Sunday morning in his place.

He’s back. Chavez has been a mainstay in Atlanta’s bullpen mix for nearly a half-decade at this juncture with multiple stints over the past few years. The 41-year-old journeyman joins the club’s relief corps ahead of Sunday morning’s showdown against the Orioles at Truist Park. He made two appearances earlier this season before being jettisoned and returning on a minor league pact.

Judge was able to remain in the game after being hit in the face by a thrown ball from Anthony Volpe that left him with a cut near his eye. It happened after the fifth inning as Judge was coming off the field; he usually does collect a baseball after each inning to throw to a fan, but he obviously didn’t see it coming this time.

O’Neill scored the first run of the game for the Orioles, taking Aaron Bummer deep for a solo homer to lead off the third inning. It was his first home run since April 13 and third of the season as the 30-year-old outfielder has been limited to just 102 plate appearances due to injury.

In a tie game, the Jays had first and third with no outs in the 11th after no one could field Nathan Lukes’ sac bunt attempt. George Springer and Bo Bichette weren’t able to end it from there, but Barger singled past Nolan Schanuel with two outs to win the game. It was his second RBI single of the contest. He has nine RBI over the last four days, and he’s batting .294 with nine homers and 24 RBI in his last 32 games.
