The Atlanta Braves are getting used to a by-any-means necessary ethos, which saved them from a slump-laden and injury-plagued season.

2023 MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. is expected back this weekend following a 12-month absence due to an ACL tear in his right knee.

The 24 -24 Braves are a500 team, but that doesn't look too bad after seeing 0-7 and 5-13 next to their name.

Verdugo started 23 of the next 28 games for the Braves .

Eli White , a 31-year-old who’d received just 59 plate appearances the previous two seasons , settled into right and has produced a783 OPS with 11 extra-base hits.

The Braves should want for very little very soon.
