Rotowire
Olson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
Atlanta may have waited too long to heat up in the win column as it relates to their playoff aspirations, but Olson has certainly been on fire at the dish for fantasy managers. Over his last 234 plate appearances since the beginning of August, the All-Star first baseman is slashing .296/.372/.544 with 27 extra-base hits and 26 RBI. Olson has 94 RBI on the campaign and will likely fall short of his fourth career 100-RBI year, barring a torrid finish in 2025, but his 29 round trippers give him a chance to record his fifth career 30-homer season.
Olson went 3-for-10 with a double, a triple, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Nationals.
After launching a solo shot off Jake Irvin in the matinee, Olson played hero in the top of the 10th inning in the nightcap with a bases-loaded triple. The first baseman has been on an absolute tear of late, batting .478 (11-for-23) over his last five games with eight of those hits going for extra bases (three doubles, a triple and four homers). On the year, he's up to 27 homers and 91 RBI in 152 contests, giving him a shot at his fifth career 30-HR campaign and fourth career 100-RBI season.
Olson went 4-for-5 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-3 win at Washington.

The three-time All-Star has been on fire in September, batting .378 (17-for-45) with five round trippers, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI across 13 games.

Rotowire
Olson went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-1 rout over the Marlins.
The first baseman took Ryan Gusto deep in the third inning, one of five Atlanta long balls on the afternoon. Olson snapped a 14-game power drought with the blast, his 20th of the season -- a mark he's reached in eight straight full campaigns, with only the pandemic year of 2020 as an exception.

The first baseman's .449 SLG on the year would be the lowest mark of his career over a full season.
