    Padres second baseman Xander Bogaerts leaves game against Braves with shoulder injury

    San Diego Padres second baseman Xander Bogaerts injured his left shoulder and was removed from Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Bogaerts landed on the shoulder while diving for a bases-loaded grounder hit by Ronald Acuña Jr. in the third inning. Bogaerts stopped the grounder but was unable to make a throw on Acuña's run-scoring infield hit.

    Is It Time To Start Worrying About Ronald Acuna Jr.'s Slow Start?

    The Atlanta Braves are a really, really good baseball team. Despite ace starter Spencer Strider and catcher Sean Murphy going down with significant injuries and others like Austin Riley, Matt Olson and 2023 NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. seeing their production sharply curtailed by injury and/or general ineffectiveness, they still won 26 of their first 41 games and sit just off of the torrid pace being set by the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. Acuna has been a particularly interesting case. Based on his imposing batted ball portfolio, Acuna “should have” hit an incredible .368-.436-.672 last season.

    Time to worry about Acuña Jr.? Umm, yes.

    After all the baseball season is only 25% complete which means more than 120 games remain in a very long season. After all, his record-breaking year in 2023 is what spurred the Braves to a historical offensive season in runs scored and home runs. Is it really out of question to believe his lack of productivity so far is what has led to the Braves' offense being so drastically different this year? The Braves are fifth in baseball with a .255 batting average but 15th in home runs with 43, on pace for about 172; not exactly the 307 from last year.
