Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves are rolling. After the win yesterday against the Marlins, they now hold sole possession of the best run differential in MLB. They also have the most wins while reaching thirty-five wins the fastest they have in a season since their rebuild ended in 2018. Today starts a new series with a Washington […]
If I told you beforehand that the Atlanta Braves would end up winning their first four-game series of the season in order to keep this fantastic run of form to start the season going, you absolutely would’ve taken it. With that being said, this was definitely a bit of a Monkey’s Paw situation where the […]
It was a huge day at the plate for Alex Lodise, who seems to be coming around for Augusta following a two home run performance for them. With that effort Lodise tied for the team lead in home runs, and the top three in the lineup sit 1-2-3 on the team in home runs. Elsewhere […]
In light of the numerous injuries, the Atlanta Braves have continued the roster shuffle; this time, catcher Maverick Handley was claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, righty Hurston Waldrep was transferred to the 60-day injured list. 28-year-old Handley made his […]
Another game, another offensive outburst, another series win. The Braves continued to bounce back and then some from their 12-0 drubbing in the series opener, riding a trio of homers, including two by Michael Harris II, to yet another easy win over the Marlins in Miami. The Braves wasted no time in opening the scoring […]
Braves go for another series win. Worst they can do is a split in this four-game set.
After a couple of feel-good wins in Miami, the Braves can take the four-game set with another victory on Thursday night. Ha-Seong Kim returns to the lineup, and Chadwick Tromp will make his first start of the year as the Braves take aim at Sandy Alcantara. For the Marlins, it’s mostly a familiar set of […]
Let’s be so honest – would you even believe the Atlanta Braves had the best record in baseball if you’d been told that both Sean Murphy and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin were on the IL at the same time? For eight glorious days we had our elite catching tandem, arguably the […]
Back in 2022-2023, the pitching matchup in tonight’s Braves-Marlins series finale would’ve been heralded far and wide. Things are a little different these days, but that doesn’t mean that either team will have an easy path to a victory. The Braves can no longer lose this series after yesterday’s victory, but they can indeed still […]
It wouldn’t be a day without a roster move, right? Right? Carlos Carrasco returns to Atlanta for the third time this season. He pitched an inning in late April and was DFAed six days later, then re-added in early May, pitched another frame, and was DFAed the next day. And, after signing a minor league […]
There was a power surge in the system on Wednesday, with home runs flying out all over the place for the Braves affiliates. Two notable guys who are having big years contributed to those numbers with Eric Hartman and Luis Guanipa both going deep for their respective clubs. Yet, it wasn’t a home run that […]
The Braves won another, the Phillies and Mets each lost another, and the division lead is back to 9.0 games, after a brief swoon back down to 7.0 games. They’ll have Spencer Strider on the mound, facing Sandy Alcantara, as they go for the series win in the four-game mid-week series. The loss of Drake […]
Thanks to another big night at the plate (including huge hits from Dominic Smith and Austin Riley) for Atlanta’s lineup and a dominant outing from Chris Sale, the Atlanta Braves were able to take firm control of the series against the Miami Marlins as they sauntered to a comfortable 9-1 victory. In the preview for […]
It’s getting to be that time for the pivotal third game of any four game series. The winner will be in the drivers seat for a series win while the loser will go into tomorrow’s game simply trying to salvage a split. I think we’re all hoping that Chris Sale and the Braves will be […]
The Atlanta Braves have released their lineup for tonight’s contest against the Miami Marlins and the lineup is one that looks like another reminder of just how deep this lineup can be on any given day when injuries aren’t completely ravaging the squad. Anyways, here’s the lineup for the Braves: Michael Harris II has moved […]
Most news these days (and, let’s be honest, the past few seasons) feels like it’s been more of the, “You’ll never guess which Brave is going on the Injured List this time!” variety, but this afternoon, I get to make a post with the opposite. Yes, Eli White is back after a brief stay on […]
When guessing who we thought the most consistent pitcher for any affiliate would be this season, few, if anyone, would have guess 18th round pick Aiven Cabral would anchor the Augusta pitching staff. Even as a reliever he has been the player they can rely on for consistent innings, and so far he has recorded […]
I’ve created a bit of a dilemma for myself. (Not Jonah Heim related.) I’m at least reasonably committed to doing the Big Board… but all the questions that I’ve come up with, and that people submitted responses and confidence ratings to, are all scored at the end of the year — except the Braves’ manager […]
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but eight runs are better than zero. The Braves are back in the win column, winning their 33rd game of the season in Ronald Acuña Jr.’s return to the lineup. The Braves took advantage of command issues from Marlins starter Braxton Garrett, who loaded the bases with no outs to start […]
Good afternoon, folks. Wondering why it’s a 4:10 pm ET game? Me, too. The best explanation I’ve got for you is this tweet from Marlins beat writer Craig Mish: Lucky us, on the other end of this grand experiment. Regardless, here’s hoping the Baldwin-less Braves can even up this four-game set today after last night’s […]
ICYMI: Buster Olney spoke with the folks at 680 The Fan’s Cellini & Dimino on a variety of Braves-related topics yesterday, but none were more buzzy than the following: should the Braves trade for Byron Buxton? It’s been discussed a lot over the years. A two-time All-Star and Georgia native who’d be a great cultural […]
I don’t know about y’all, but the vibes are… not quite dire, but close to it. It’s just year after year of an IL spot barely getting cold after an activation before someone expeditiously takes its place. The baseball gods have seemingly decreed that the Braves will never be allowed to be 100% healthy. Don’t […]
Despite the wonderful start that the Braves are off to here in 2026, the one lingering nuisance from the past two seasons has been the team’s absolutely horrible run of luck when it comes to injuries. The injury bug has now apparently come for Drake Baldwin, who will be heading to the 10-day IL with […]
The brightest side of a 4:10 pm ET start? Not wallowing in the absolute stinker that was last night’s game for a full day. The Braves will be looking to play a Normal game of baseball to deny the Fish a guaranteed series split. Here’s hoping the gloves and bats that didn’t make an appearance […]
Back on October 9th of last year, an announcement came from the Atlanta Braves that may not have raised a ton of eyebrows at the time. However the effects of that move are being felt right now in a very noticeable way in the team’s farm system. That move in question is the Braves parting […]
