Braves Outright Ian Hamilton

The Braves have sent right-hander Ian Hamilton outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. Hamilton has the right to elect free agency but probably won’t exercise that right. Players with at least three years of service time have the […]

Braves Select José Azócar, Designate Jair Camargo For Assignment

The Braves announced that outfielder Eli White has been placed on the paternity list. Fellow outfielder José Azócar has been selected to take his place on the active roster. To open a 40-man spot for Azócar, catcher Jair Camargo has been designated for assignment. Azócar, 30, signed a minor league deal with Atlanta in the […]

Michael Harris leads off, Jim Jarvis starts at shortstop vs Mets

Going for a series win behind Reynaldo Lopez, the Braves are shuffling their lineup a bit, swapping Michael Harris up to the leadoff spot and Drake Baldwin down to cleanup. Jim Jarvis gets another start at shortstop, facing the righty Peralta. Meanwhile, AJ Ewing gets the start at leadoff for the Mets and Francisco Lindor […]

The Falcons Finally Show Full Trust in Kyle Pitts’ Future

On June 23, the Atlanta Falcons made it clear that Kyle Pitts remains central to their long-term vision. Atlanta agreed to a three-year, $54 million contract extension, including $36 million fully guaranteed, and stands as the largest three-year contract ever given to a tight end in NFL history. The extension shows Atlanta’s belief in the […] The post The Falcons Finally Show Full Trust in Kyle Pitts’ Future appeared first on The Lead .

Braves go for series win, facing Freddy Peralta

At the time that I am writing this, it appears that top prospect Owen Murphy is being called up, but its unclear when he will be deployed, though presumably he will either start today’s game or tomorrow’s. The scheduled starter has been Reynaldo Lopez for today’s game. Lopez is coming off his best start in […]

Monday Quickie - back from vacation

 The Nats are where they have been now for a while which is fun and good because where they are is "about .500 and in the playoff discussion".   About a month ago we talked about the playoffs and while we'll go over that deeper in a week during the ASB I want to look at my assumptions about the other teams to see how they held up. If so, it's likely worth checking them out again the same way at that time.    Gap would grow between the Nats and Braves/Dodgers/Brewers Wa...

Braves are calling up another top prospect, other roster moves

According to Gaurav of Battery Power, the Braves are calling up another top prospect as Owen Murphy is headed to the bigs to make his MLB debut. Per source I’m hearing Owen Murphy will be headed to Atlanta. Last pitched July 1st – 6IP 2H 0R 1BB 7KDominant, unique 4s FB that sits 91-93 but […]

Braves Designate Carlos Carrasco For Assignment, Place Martín Pérez On Injured List

The Braves announced Monday that they’ve yet again designated righty Carlos Carrasco for assignment. Atlanta also placed veteran lefty Martín Pérez on the 15-day injured list due to a left forearm contusion. In a pair of corresponding moves, Atlanta recalled right-hander JR Ritchie from Triple-A Gwinnett and selected the contract of right-hander and former first-round […]

Atlanta Braves 2026 MLB Draft Preview: Scouting the MLB Draft League

I wrote this same piece last year and some of these names have already been making noise. Miguel Sime is a part of the Futures Game, Samuel Cozart is a potential first rounder next year after going to college instead of signing, and one of the honorable mentions (Cardell Thibodeaux) recently signed with the Braves […]

AJ Smith-Shawver lights up the radar gun in outstanding rehab start

The Braves rotation hasn’t had many positive developments this season, and the latest injury to Martin Perez is yet another punch they must find a way to roll with; however, the version of AJ Smith-Shawver that should be returning soon is worth getting excited about. The 23-year-old is working his way back from Tommy John […]

Braves rotation at a crossroads after Martin Perez injury

The Braves fell to the Mets on Sunday afternoon in a thriller — one that started with a flurry of runs, went quiet for a stretch, and then exploded for 11 combined runs in the ninth inning alone. Martin Perez got the start for Atlanta, the latest twist in a wild ride through his 15th […]

Braves Minor League Recap: Cam Caminiti, AJ Smith-Shawver shine

Falcons training camp 2026: 5 roster battles to watch on offense

While we twiddle our thumbs, tap our feet impatiently, and sigh deeply during the long wait for training camp, we can still talk about training camp. And we will. Let’s start by talking about some of the true roster battles for the 2026 Falcons, rather than those guys duking it out for a starting job. […]

Braves prospect Owen Murphy will be called up to Atlanta, per report

With Martín Pérez very likely heading to the IL after having injured his forearm getting hit with a comebacker and Carlos Carrasco also likely to receive yet another DFA, there’s a spot that’s available in Atlanta’s pitching staff at the moment. As it turns out, the Atlanta Braves may be turning to a rookie who […]

Mets almost blow a big lead but hold on to win

The Mets came into the Sunday game against the Braves mired in a serious funk. They had lost three straight games and twelve of the last fourteen games. They needed to turn it around, and given the state of their rotation, they had their best chance with Nolan McLean on the mound. They were facing […]

Braves nearly pull off remarkable ninth-inning comeback vs. Mets

Behind a three-run first inning, it seemed the Braves were going to carry their Saturday momentum right into Sunday afternoon’s home game against the New York Mets. Then they were held scoreless for the next seven innings. Facing a seven-run deficit after the Mets posted a five-run top of the ninth, the bats awakened but […]
