The Atlanta Braves have been the best team in baseball so far this season. Atlanta has 67 games under its belt this season and has a 45-22 record. That's absurd and is a pace of 108 wins across 162 games. The Braves are currently running away in the National League East, but there was a scare on Tuesday night. Superstar outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left the club's game on Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox after suffering a hamstring injury while running to first base.Ronald Acuña Jr. is exiting the game after suffering an injury running to first base pic.twitter.com/iJfDcF1BCV— Talkin' Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) June 10, 2026If Acuña ends up needing to miss any time, this would be the time for a team in the National League East to make a move and try to close the gap in the division. Right now, the Philadelphia Phillies are in second place in the National League East at 36-31. If anyone is going to have any chance of catching the Braves this season, it would be the Phillies, but they are currently nine games out of first place.
