The Braves have selected the contract of outfielder Brewer Hicklen, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The 40-man roster had a vacancy after catcher Austin Wynns was outrighted yesterday. Hicklen has been optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett and will not be immediately added to the active roster. It might seem odd to add a […]
(Note: Stats here through June 14, which only matters for comparing the Braves to other teams. In an ideal world, I’d either do this on the 16th, or during the day on the 14th, but we live in something very far from an ideal world.) Past summaries: I have a colleague that uses the word […]
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is working his way back from surgery that repaired a partially torn ACL in his left knee. With the club beginning mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, head coach Kevin Stefanski offered a crucial update on Penix’s progression.

To get back to .500, the Royals would have to win about 58 percent of their remaining games. The current list of teams playing at or above that rate includes the Dodgers, Braves, Yankees, Brewers, and Rays. Last season, only four teams finished the year above that level. Can the Royals be a top-five team […]
70 out of 162 games down, and it’s safe to say the 2026 Atlanta Braves (46-24) have been a much-needed balm after the last few years of underperformance. The injury bug and occasional offensive outages are still lingering, but the divisional cushion and current position atop MLB make it hard to complain. The first round […]
The Phils defeated the Marlins 7-0 at home on Monday night. They’re now 39-33 and 7.5 games behind the Braves.

Following an ugly performance on opening night in Philadelphia, the pressure on Matt Ryan was intensifying in 2018. A rollercoaster 2017 season that ended in a devastating loss to the Eagles put the Falcons in a position where they had to move with urgency after nearly making it back to the Super Bowl. To fall […]
There's a depressing rumor that suggests a Miami Heat backup plan this summer could involve Trae Young.
The Green Bay Packers face a challenging stretch right out of the gate in 2026, opening the season against the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New York Giants. Making that start even tougher is the uncertainty surrounding Micah Parsons, who may still be working his way back from an ACL injury during [...]
Should the Hawks keep their eighth overall pick, they’ll have an opportunity to draft one of a handful of ‘second tier’ prospects in one of the most hyped draft classes in a long time.

The Braves have brought Carlos Carrasco and Maverick Handley back to the organization on minor league contracts, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Both players were dropped from the 40-man roster last week. Carrasco’s return felt inevitable, as he’s been on and off the roster all season. The only question was whether he’d sign a minor league […]
The 2026 Mets will happily burst your bubble.

The Braves announced that catcher Drake Baldwin has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Fellow catcher Austin Wynns has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. That opens an active roster spot for Baldwin and suggests the club put him on waivers a couple of days ago without initially removing him from the roster. The 40-man […]
Today is a much-needed off day for the Braves, who are back in Atlanta and hoping to get things back on track with a win tomorrow against the Giants. They got some, well, mixed news with Spencer Strider’s evaluation, as he’s been shut down for a month and will be reevaluated further. We did get […]
