With right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver joining the roster in place of reliever Tyler Kinley, the Braves are moving to a six-man rotation for the time being.

Braves Minor League Recap: Dixon Williams continues Home Run streak
Dixon Williams recorded an inside-the-park home run for the Emperors in their win, giving his a ridiculous stretch of six home runs in his past three games.

AJ Smith-Shawver returns to the rotation (for real this time) as Braves look to avoid getting swept
With the Atlanta Braves falling into a bit of a recent funk, the attention now turns to the newly-returning AJ Smith-Shawver.

Why have the Braves stopped mashing fastballs?
If I’ve heard anything about Ronald Acuña Jr. via the internet, it’s that Ronnie can’t hit the hot fastball. It’s not really true. He’s league-average via xwOBA (he’s striking 96+ MPH fastballs as good as your average hitter). He has less to show for it as the wOBA runs about 30 points lower for his […]

Tyler Mahle a lone bright spot, but Braves’ flaws remain plentiful
