Atlanta Braves Postpone Game Against White Sox Due to Weather

The Atlanta Braves faced a setback as their series finale against the Chicago White Sox has been postponed due to inclement weather. Originally scheduled for Thursday, the game will now be made up on August 20 at 1:10 p.m. CT. This postponement comes after the Braves dropped the first two games of the series, leaving them frustrated as they aimed to avoid a sweep. Manager Walt Weiss expressed disappointment, noting the team's missed opportunities at the plate, including leaving 10 runners on base in their last game. The Braves, who currently hold the best record in Major League Baseball, are looking to bounce back as they prepare for a three-game series against the New York Mets starting Friday. Adding to their challenges, the Braves placed star right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. on the injured list due to a hamstring strain. Weiss indicated that while the injury is not as severe as Acuna's previous one, it still requires time for recovery. Acuna has been a key player for the Braves this season, contributing significantly with a batting average of .251, 7 home runs, and 22 RBIs. As the Braves regroup, they hope to regain their offensive momentum against the Mets.
