@SportsTalkATL He’s hitting behind acuna only because he’s playing left field. Snit has already said profar is batting 2nd when he returns. So it’s not so much Verdugo hitting 2nd, it’s the left fielder hitting 2nd. This way it doesn’t totally shake the lineup when Profar comes back
Ronald Acuña Jr. reached 50 RBI this season with his HR in the 1st inning.
He joins Joe Morgan (1975) as the only players with 50 RBI & 35 SB before July since RBI became official in 1920.
