The Atlanta Braves are finding their offensive rhythm just in time for a crucial stretch of the season, buoyed by the resurgence of Michael Harris II and the return of Ronald Acuña Jr., who is hitting .375 following a nearly full season off. Harris has recently showcased his power, hitting three home runs in six games, while Marcel Ozuna is also contributing despite dealing with a hip issue, evidenced by his three-run shot in a recent 12-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Despite their recent success, the Braves remain 10 games under .500 and must climb back into the postseason picture. Manager Brian Snitker expressed cautious optimism, pointing out the importance of winning big games as they attempt to close the gap on the New York Mets, who lead the NL East. Acuña's return has reinvigorated the lineup, as he recorded his first stolen base since undergoing knee surgery, signaling confidence in his recovery.
