Projected as a preseason World Series favorite, the Atlanta Braves sure didn’t start that way.

The Atlanta Braves enter play on Tuesday five games out of a playoff spot — not where they wanted to be by Memorial Day but by no means a catastrophe either.

The San Diego Padres will be without their ace on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves.

The Atlanta Braves are now middling as they await Ronald Acuna’s return from a long-term injury this weekend.
