The Opener: Profar, Kershaw, Doubleheaders
Briefly

Jurickson Profar returns to the Braves today after serving an 80-game PED suspension. Signing a three-year, $42MM deal, Profar played only four games before his suspension. He has a strong prior performance season with a .280/.380/.459 slash line in 2024 but faces scrutiny over the legitimacy of that breakout. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw is just three strikeouts away from 3,000 career Ks, preparing to pitch at Dodger Stadium tonight. Additionally, three postponed games from yesterday are set for today as split-admission doubleheaders.
Jurickson Profar returns from an 80-game PED suspension today, after signing a hefty three-year, $42MM deal with the Braves, where he has been a non-factor.
Clayton Kershaw is on the verge of achieving 3,000 career strikeouts, needing just three more to become the 20th pitcher in MLB history to reach this milestone.
Due to weather, three games were postponed yesterday, and all three are scheduled to be made up today as split-admission doubleheaders.
The Braves have fallen to 38-46 and are 7.5 games out of a playoff spot, losing their ace for the foreseeable future.
