Ronald Ekuna Junior will return from knee surgery, which has been excluded for about a year when Atlanta Braves opened a three-game series against San Diego Padress.
Atlanta manager Brian Snightker said, “It would be good, he feels ready and it’s great.” “It would be great to bring him back into a lineup.”
Acuna tore the anterior cruciate ligament of her left knee on May 26, 2024, and underwent surgery after less than two weeks.
This year, in six modest league rehab games, one in Class-A and five in Triple-A, Ekuna batted with two home runs and two couples .400 (6-for-15). Ekuna was the 2023 National League MVP after hitting .337 with 41 Homeers, 106 RBI and 73 stolen bases. He led the league in theft, hits (217), on-base percentage (.416) and OPS (1.012).
Padres have lost in six consecutive and three-game are coming out of the sweep in Toronto. In Washington, the brave was swept away in the rain-less two-game chain.
This is the second season meeting between the teams. Host San Diego landed Atlanta in a four-game set to open the season, sent the brave to 0-7. Padress started 7–0.
Friday’s pitching match is the Atlanta Left-Hander Chris Sale (2-3, 3.62 ERA) and San Diego right-handed Nick Piwata (5-2, 2.86).
There will be six days of comfort in sales. The last time he worked on a comfort of more than four days, he fired 6 2/3 scorer against Cincinnati Reds on 6 May.
SAIL has been similar to its 2024 Cym Young Award-winning form on its last six demonstrations, exiting 48 with 2.02 ERAs 2–1 and 35 has more than 11 in innings. In his most recent outing on 16 May, sales worked in seven innings, allowing one run and hitting eight against his former team Boston Red Socks.
“I looked at the first innings, you can tell that there was a little special,” said the snakekar.
Sale has dominated the Padress in his career, going 4–0 with 1.91 ERA in five. He faced San Diego in the season’s opener and did not take a decision after allowing three runs in five innings. He broke seven.
Pivata on Saturday bounced back from the seasonal outings of the season (six runs in four-plas against Colorado Rockies) to set fire to the six strong innings vs. six strong innings versus six strong innings versus six strong innings. He allowed only two hits and a walk, exiting seven.
Pivata has made 22 shows and starts against 18 brave, going to 9–5 with 4.61 ERAs. He played seven scorers innings and allowed Atlanta 5–0 to allow only one hit on 30 March.
Padress is placed in a hitting recession. He has scored only nine runs during his defeat, most of whom on Thursday with most of the people coming in 7-6, 11-inning necklaces. Blue Jais closed him in the first two matches of the series.
The exception has been Luis Araz. He was 2-for-5 in the finale in Toronto, which gave him a nine-game streak and increased his average to .304. This was his 15th multi-hit game of the year.
“I have not changed anything,” Arraez said. “I have kept myself mentally strong, which is important, and I am coming here to play the ball and enjoy it. It’s a tough game, but as I always say, it’s not impossible. It’s not impossible. We are working to be better every day, and this is what I am doing these days.”
