The “Players Weekend” returns to Major League Baseball on Aug. 23-25. Each player around MLB chose a nickname to wear on the back of his jersey in place of his last name.
The Braves will play the Mets in New York those dates.
According to MLB, this year, teams across the two leagues “will feature monochromatic black or white uniforms,” and the home teams will choose whether to wear black or white, leaving the road team to wear the opposite. The pitchers on teams wearing white uniforms will wear black caps to help home-plate umpires track the ball as it comes to the plate.
Here is the list of Braves players, as of Tuesday:
Ronald Acuna: "EL DE LA SABANA"
Ozzie Albies: "BOLLY (w/Praying hands emoji)"
