When they rolled to 104 wins, 370 home runs, and a record .501 slugging percentage last summer, the Atlanta Braves got plenty of production from the leadoff spot. That was the home of Ronald Acuña, Jr., who not only had 41 home runs and a club-record 74 stolen bases but also a career-best .337 batting average, second in the National League.

Stay updated on everything baseball with our morning MLB News & Moments articles. We’ve got you covered to keep you in the know. Blake Snell is one of the most fascinating pitchers of this era. In 2023, he walked more batters than any other pitcher and won the NL Cy Young. He has more Cy Youngs (2) than All-Star appearances (1). He got pulled after pitching like Sandy Koufax for 5.1 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2020 World Series. And he threw a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in his first career CGSO on Friday night.

Rosario went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Brewers. He got the start in left field, batting sixth against right-hander Freddy Peralta, but Rosario was replaced by Adam Duvall in the seventh inning with lefty Jared Koenig on the mound. Trade deadline acquisition Jorge Soler is expected to start in right field, but Duvall and Rosario seem headed for a platoon in left, with the latter on the strong side of that arrangement. Manager Brian Snitker likely won't hesitate to play the hot hand if one of the two significant out-produces the other, however. Rosario is batting just .189 (7-for-37) over his last 12 games, but he does have three home runs and eight RBI over that stretch.

It’s sometimes easy to forget that Ian Anderson is only 26 years old still, given how long ago his success with the Atlanta Braves seems. It’s been a tough road for him to recovery from his shoulder injury and then Tommy John surgery, but he is back in Gwinnett and seems to be making progress each game. His velocity is slowly recovering, as is his command, and in recent games he seems to be displaying a new breaking ball — a vertical slider a few miles per hour harder than the curveball we last saw him throwing.

With the excitement of the trade deadline over, it is a good time to step back from the action to analyze how well certain players might perform for the remainder of the season with their new organizations. Adding an extra bat to the lineup at the trade deadline can make all the difference in turning a given team into a championship contender, with the 2021 Atlanta Braves trade deadline acquisitions of Adam Duvall, Jorge Soler, and Eddie Rosario and the 2015 New York Mets trade for Yoenis Céspedes being some prime examples of how a few under the radar transactions can make a big difference come October. In this article, we will look at the trades of Randy Arozarena, Jesse Winker, and Lane Thomas and attempt to identify how impactful these hitters will be to their new organizations over the remainder of the season.
