Olson went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Guardians.
It was his first steal of 2025, and only his second in four seasons with Atlanta. Olson is racking up plenty of hits in August, batting .290 (18-for-62) over 16 games, but he's managed just one homer and four RBI over that span. The first baseman's .449 SLG on the year would be the lowest mark of his career over a full season.
