Latest news and updates about the Braves
During Thursday’s game against the Detroit Tigers, the Atlanta Braves shared the news that Ed Mangan, Vice President of Field Operations, was retiring after more than 35 years with the organization. While the news might seem innocuous to those whose fandom of the Braves began after his tenure started in Atlanta, his immediate impact to […]
Heading into this series, this matchup felt like a very tricky proposition for a Braves team that came into this rolling at a very high level. Atlanta was clicking but they’d have to deal with three formidable starting pitchers in the form of Casey Mize, Framber Valdez and Tarik Skubal. If the Braves were going […]
After an exciting walkoff win that extended their season-opening streak of not losing series on Wednesday night, the Braves got to work in a short turnaround matchup against the Tigers with a chance for a sweep. For a while, a sweep seemed likely, but the Braves were undone by poor pitching and defense in the […]
After losing two in a row against the Braves and dropping below the .500 mark for season wins, the Tigers were hoping to dodge a series sweep before heading back to Detroit. Despite a losing record, the Tigers only trailed the division-leading Guardians by half a game, because the AL Central is not having a […]

The month draws to a close with a Thursday matinee on getaway day where the Braves seek a sweep.
Michael Harris II was seen favoring his ailing quad during last night’s win over the Tigers, and as such, it’s not surprising to see him get another breather in a short turnaround matinee game, especially given that Framber Valdez throws with his left hand. The absence of Harris is part of a wholesale rejiggering of […]
It was a lackluster day down on the farm, but there were a handful of individual performances to highlight. So let’s dive into Wednesday’s action. (18-11) Gwinnett Stripers 9, (14-15) Charlotte Knights 10 Box Score Despite holding a three-run lead headed into the home half of the seventh inning, Gwinnett failed to hold on to […]
Last year, the Braves randomly swept the Tigers late in the year, pulling down the relatively competitive team into their own 2025 muck for a bit. This year, the Braves are rocking and rolling and having a great time, and can sweep the Tigers again with a successful performance on Thursday afternoon. The Braves largely […]
In case you weren’t watching, the NL East leading Braves won yet another baseball game last night. They will end April without losing a series. And Matt Olson won it in the ninth. In case you haven’t seen it, where have you been? Oh my word. Here’s the longer clip. Here it is from CJ […]
The Detroit Tigers fell under the .500 mark on Wednesday night after a 4-3 loss at the hands of the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. It was the team’s second-straight defeat and fourth in the past five games. After failing to capitalize on a Tarik Skubal start, the Motor City Kitties turn to left-hander Framber […]
The Atlanta Braves appear to be back in that mode that we were used to seeing from a lot of these players during their run to the World Series in 2021 and their extremely successful regular seasons in 2022 and 2023. This is a squad that’s going to be incredibly competitive for all 27 outs […]
The Braves secured a nother series win Wednesday in a game pitched by Tarik Skubal and that really is a symbol of how things have gone for Atlanta so far this season. Atlanta comfortably has the best record in baseball and the best run differential in baseball to back it up. Franchise player Ronald Acuna’s […]
The Tigers needed their ace tonight, and they got him. Tarik Skubal was as advertised. Outside of one blemish to start the game, he did not allow a Braves runner in scoring position in his seven innings of work. It would’ve been a well-deserved, tip-your-cap type of win. But the 2026 Braves simply won’t be […]
The Tigers were hoping to bounce back from their Tuesday evening loss to the Braves, and they were hoping Tarik Skubal would be the man on the mound to make that happen. Atlanta was leaning on J.R. Ritchie to get them the second win of the series. The Tigers started out aggressively against Ritchie, with […]

Congratulations are apparently in order for Dylan Lee and his family, as he’s been reinstated from the paternity list after missing Tuesday’s Braves win over the Tigers. Of course, there’s got to be a corresponding move and as it turns out, Didier Fuentes isn’t going straight down. Instead, Carlos Carrasco’s time with the Braves big […]
Alex Lodise was off to an underwhelming start in Augusta with high strikeouts and not nearly as much power production as we had hoped, but the first game of the week was a chance for him to break out as he went deep twice as part of Augusta’s 12-run, five home run performance. Luis Guanipa […]
The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game weekday series against the Atlanta Braves after a disappointing 5-2 loss at Truist Park on Tuesday night. Adding insult to… um, injury, was losing Casey Mize to right groin tightness and Javier Báez to a bum right ankle. Both will undergo MRIs prior to Wednesday night’s game to […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that right-hander Didier Fuentes has been recalled to Atlanta as a result of moving lefty Dylan Lee to the paternity list. The move continues the rollercoaster of options for Fuentes, who was recalled last week before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett again. In three appearances so far this season, Fuentes […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the Detroit Tigers in a clash of first place teams, both with some of the best rotation outputs in MLB. The Braves are red hot having won twenty games before May for the first time in franchise history, and going 20-9 for only the ninth time in franchise history. This […]

The Atlanta Braves look to continue as the only team in MLB to not lose a series after going 10-3 after thirteen straight games in their own division. The Tigers have been good in their own right being in first place in their division while sporting one of the best top three rotation arms in […]
Hoo boy, we got an absolute litany of updates from Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss during his usual pre-game press conference. It was as if the skipper just decided to take this opportunity to clear the air about the handful of Braves players who are in various stages of working their way back onto the […]
The Atlanta Braves and their league leading offense are facing the Detroit Tigers having just won twenty games before the month of May for the first time in franchise history. The Braves lead MLB with 5.72 runs scored per game. To put that in perspective, if they continue to score this many runs per game […]
