The Braves and Red Sox each look to spark their respective turnarounds on "Friday Night Baseball."
Atlanta is whole again, amid the returns of ace Spencer Strider (hamstring) and MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. (torn ACL) from injury. Acuña wasted little time reminding baseball of his immense talent, blasting a home run on the first pitch that he saw in his season debut last Friday.
The Braves still face an uphill climb towards an eighth consecutive postseason appearance, especially after an 0-7 start to the 2025 season. But they've played significantly better since, even reaching the .500 mark on multiple occasions.
As for the Red Sox, injuries to Triston Casas and the red-hot Alex Bregman have stretched a talented lineup thin. Boston enters Friday's series-opener on a five-game slid.
That's placed more of the onus on the top of Boston's order, spearheaded by Rafael Devers and Jarren Duran. Both players are starting to hit their stride after struggling in April.
