Jurickson Profar provided a boost to the lineup out of the gate in his return from his 80-game suspension. Leading off the bottom of the seventh, he belted a solo home run down the right field line to give the Atlanta Braves an 8-0 lead over the Los Angeles Angels.

Maybe Jurickson Profar’s presence will suddenly help bring the Braves’ offense to life and help the team deal with what has become a very thin rotation. Profar returned from an 80-game performance-enhancing drug suspension on Wednesday and immediately showed his potential.
