Jurickson Profar returns to the lineup
Briefly

The Atlanta Braves have been shut out seven times this season, highlighting significant offensive struggles as they rank eighteenth in wRC+ and twenty-first in runs scored. Despite a high BABIP of .299, disappointment stems from poor run production, making victory difficult. Jurickson Profar is rejoining the lineup after a minor league stint with a .990 OPS. The Braves will face Yusei Kikuchi, who has a deceptive ERA, while Didier Fuentes, struggling with a high ERA, pitches for Atlanta. The team needs to improve offensively to secure wins.
