Atlanta Braves' star Matt Olson is set to hit a major personal milestone on Saturday when the Braves take on the San Diego Padres.
Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com on social media:
Matt Olson has played 499 consecutive games, dating to 5/2/21 Look, Olson is no Cal Ripken Jr., who played in 2,632 consecutive games over his career, but Olson's streak is the longest active one in baseball and if he stays healthy, he'll move all the way into second place on that list by the end of this season.
only longer streaks since 2000:
2000-07 Miguel Tejada: 1,152
2018-22 Whit Merrifield: 553
2010-14 Prince Fielder: 547
2000-03 Alex Rodriguez: 546
2003-06 Hideki Matsui: 518
2004-07 Mark Teixeira: 507
