Here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day: 1. Profar returns from suspension: played in just four games with the Braves before being hit with an 80-game PED suspension, which is set to expire today. The switch-hitting outfielder signed a three-year, $42MM deal in free agency but has thus far been a non-factor. His last performance of any real substance was the 2024 season where he slashed .280/.380/.459 with credible peripherals in 158 games for the Padres. The PED suspension could call some of that breakout into question, but Atlanta is surely hoping that hes still the same player they thought he was when they gave him that three-year deal over the offseason. The Braves, currently 38-46, have fallen below the Marlins in the NL East standings. Theyre 7.5 games out of a playoff spot and recently lost ace for the foreseeable future. Can Profar provide a spark? 2. Kershaw on the cusp of 3,000 Ks: Three-time Cy Young winner and future Hall of Famer is knocking on historys door. The southpaw currently sits at 2,997 strikeouts for his career, leaving him just three away from becoming the 20th pitcher in MLB history Tony Larussa Jersey to reach 3,000. Kershaw isnt mi sing bats like he did in his prime his 18.6% strikeout rate is several percentage points shy of league average but he still boasts a 3.03 ERA in 38 2/3 innings of work this year. Hes very likely to reach this illustrious milestone in front of the home crowd at Dodger Stadium tonight when he takes the mound opposite the White Sox at 7:10pm local time. 3.
