Matt Olson - Page 33 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sits for first time Olson will sit for the first time this season Saturday against the Phillies.

Impact Atlanta has leaned heavily on its new $168 million man this season, and the workload may be weighing on him. He's faded hard down the stretch, hitting .096/.194/.145 across his last 23 games. Austin Riley will slide over to first base to give him a breather, with Orlando Arcia starting at third.

'I'm looking to contribute': Braves' Matt Olson hoping to end his worst slump ever With a 1-0 loss in Philadelphia, the Braves fell 1 1/2 games behind the NL East-leading Mets. Olson wants to contribute to some wins.

Ends drought at dish Olson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

Impact Olson's stat line wasn't eye-popping from a fantasy standpoint by any means, but it was likely a welcome sight for his managers nonetheless amid a prolonged skid at the plate. Since mashing a three-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Sept. 6, Olson slashed .053/.122/.053 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate over his subsequent 10 games. Even after the two-hit game, Olson is batting just .235, the lowest average of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.
