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...
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 […]
One team stands out amongst all potential Jonathan Kuminga landing spots: the Los Angeles Lakers. The Hawks really should engage in a sign-and-trade with them.
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 […]
There may not be a better time for Zuby Ejiofor to have another impressive outing than against Aday Mara and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Kingston Flemings impressed in his Summer League debut despite the Hawks' loss. His all-around performance showed exactly why Atlanta drafted him.
(42-43) Gwinnett Stripers @ (37-49) Durham Bulls – POSTPONED (35-41) Columbus Clingstones 4, (46-35) Knoxville Smokies 5 Box Score After going ahead early, the Clingstones were unable to make a one run lead last – unfortunately due to some timely hitting by the Smokies in the games middle innings. Brett Sears got the start for […]
Pitchers from the Orioles and Braves lead the FAAB acquisition market from last week.
The post Expert FAAB Review ’26: Week 15 appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
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. […]
With the Pelicans choosing to reduce the asking price for Trey Murphy III, an insider presented a trade framework for the Hawks to land the two-way wing.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
If you will allow me to put my armchair meteorologist hat on, I read an article somewhere about how this heat dome that’s been causing temperatures to skyrocket in recent days has been collapsing since Thursday. As such, that’s been causing enough of a disruption in the atmosphere to where thunderstorms are even more likely […]
The Braves have a plethora of areas they will be looking to upgrade ahead of the trade deadline, none more so than their starting rotation, which is desperate for a frontline starter to pair with Chris Sale. The good news? ESPN’s Buster Olney is confident that — even with fewer teams looking to sell — […]
Projected Mets vs. Braves start time and full rain delay and weather updates from Truist Park for the Sunday, July 5 game.
A strong end to the first half of the season would go a long way toward the Braves winning the NL East, because after the All-Star break, many improvements are going to be made to this roster. Most notably, Ronald Acuña Jr. is expected to rejoin the team once the second half begins. He’s been […]

With a right-handed starter on the mound for the New York Mets in Sunday’s 12:30 p.m. ET game, the Atlanta Braves unsurprisingly are pivoting back to a righty-focused batting order. Drake Baldwin is back in the leadoff spot after Mauricio Dubón led off Saturday night, dropping Dubón into the five-hole. Additionally, Dominic Smith gets the start at […]
9:10AM: The Mets officially announced Zuniga’s selection, and right-hander Joey Gerber was optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move. 8:41AM: The Mets will be selecting the contract of right-hander Guillo Zuniga prior to today’s game with the Braves, according to reporter Francys Romero. New York has an open space on its 40-man roster, so the […]
The action in the Atlanta Braves system on the 4th of July was nearly cut in half due to rain and power issues cancelling three of the seven games on the slate. Of the four games on the schedule to get played the Braves teams lost the first three, and needed a late inning comeback […]
Meet the Mets The Mets were clobbered by the Braves 14-3 in another all-around embarrassing effort on national television that included poor pitching, poor defense, and poor hitting. The Mets are now 17 games under .500 and have lost 12 of their last 14, as they continue to free fall, despite a managerial change. Choose […]
