Ronald Acuña Jr. won’t participate in the Home Run Derby, replaced by Atlanta teammate and fellow All-Star Matt Olson.

The Atlanta Braves aren't planning to shock baseball ahead of the MLB trade deadline. According to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Braves don't plan to trade anyone who they have under contract beyond this season. That removes the craziest name floated in trade speculation of late: Ronald Acuña Jr.

Acuña helped lead the Braves to a 9-2 win against the Athletics — just their third victory in 13 games — a day after an embarrassing 10-1 series-opening loss. The Braves hit a season-high five homers, with others from Drake Baldwin, Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna, who hit his first in 22 games, since June 13.

On Friday evening, the Braves announced Ronald Acuña Jr. won't be participating in the Home Run Derby after all, but will still start in Tuesday's All-Star Game.

Ronald Acuña Jr. hits two home runs as the Atlanta Braves crushed the Athletics 9-2 . Acuña's first homer was a massive leadoff shot and his second came in the fourth for his 14th career multi-homer game.
