Latest news and updates about the Braves
AJ Smith-Shawver has returned to Atlanta’s rotation. While it was only a middling 4.1 inning start, the talent he shows and the dire situation of the rotation should cause him to get a decent leash in the major league rotation as he continues to return from injury. This is of course pending reinforcements that could […]
The Mets only managed two hits tonight as they lost to the Braves 1-0 in the second game of today’s doubleheader. Christian Scott had a good outing, and his longest this year, but the Braves pitching behind Chris Sale stifled the Mets offense completely. Scott came out throwing strikes immediately in the first inning. He […]
A year after being drafted, Tate Southisene is already being labeled by many as the top prospect in the organization, and the Braves’ decision to promote him to Double-A at just 19 years old suggested they might agree. Unfortunately, in his first game with the Columbus Clingstones, he was struck on the hand by a […]

Welp, The Atlanta Braves won’t take the series win against the New York Mets, but they have a shot to avoid a sweep. Let’s take a look at these lineups for the series finale. Drake Baldwin will be leading off, which will place Ronald Acuña Jr. in the second batting slot. Some good news, Jim Jarvis […]
The Braves couldn’t get the job done for the second consecutive game against the Mets, falling in the first game of their doubleheader by a score of 3-2. The offense essentially didn’t show up to the ballpark. The only signs of life came in the sixth inning, when a Drake Baldwin double followed by a […]
In the offseason, the Atlanta Braves appeared to have an embarrassment of riches in their starting rotation. Not only was the group full, but Atlanta looked like it would have to make some difficult decisions just to narrow the rotation down to five starters. Chris Sale was the unquestioned ace of the staff. Spencer Schwellenbach […] The post Are the Royals the Perfect Trade Partner for the Braves? appeared first on Just Baseball .
After trouncing the Braves in the first game of their series, the Mets’ pulled off a less dramatic win, taking the matinee 3-2 with a nightcap to follow. The first four and a half innings of this game looked very similar on both sides of the ball. Both teams committed errors, both allowed some baserunners […]
The Atlanta Braves made the ultra-aggressive move to promote their star infield prospect Tate Southisene to Double-A at the age of 19 after just 104 professional games, but his run with the Clingstones is going to have an unfortunate interruption. In the second inning of his debut on Tuesday night Southisene was hit in the […]
Rise and shine, Braves country! A Wednesday split doubleheader is at your service. Chris Sale is on the mound for the Atlanta Braves to face the New York Mets in today’s second game of the doubleheader in this three-game series. With a 2.19 ERA, Sale has been a dominant force on the mound that continues […]
After Tuesday’s game was rained out, the Braves will (weather permitting) close out their 2026 slate of Mets road games with a Wednesday doubleheader which is scheduled to begin at 1:10 p.m. ET. AJ Smith-Shawver is set to make his season debut at the major league level for the Braves after completing his rehabilitation from […]
It’s a nice enough day for baseball, even in New York City. So why not have a doubleheader, no? The Braves returned RHP AJ Smith-Shawver from his rehabilitation assignment, reinstated him from the injured list, and appointed him as the 27th man for today’s doubleheader. AJ makes his first start since May 29th in Philadelphia. […]
On paper, the Braves and the Blue Jays make perfect sense as trade partners. The Braves are obvious buyers sitting atop the NL East, while the Blue Jays are in last place in the AL East and 5.5 games back of the final wild card spot with several teams between them. They are likely sellers, […]

Over the last several years, talented position player prospects in the Braves farm system have been few and far between. The good news is the couple they had — Michael Harris II and Drake Baldwin — turned into superstars. But the depth was severely lacking. That’s been flipped on its head this season. More than […]
There is so much to talk about for the Braves minor league system from the opener of this week’s action. The Tate Southisene hit by pitch that forced him from the game is the news that could have the biggest ramifications on the rest of the season, but it was by far the low point […]
With the calendar about to turn to August, the Braves get another pitcher back off the injured list to make his season debut in the opening game of Wednesday’s road doubleheader at the New York Mets. AJ Smith-Shawver will make his first major league start back from Tommy John surgery for the 1:10 p.m. ET […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that they have selected the contract of right-hander Elieser Hernández and optioned left-hander Connor Thomas to Triple-A Gwinnett. The move comes after Monday’s game, where Thomas gave up 11 earned runs in just 2.2 innings against the New York Mets. Hernández is back with Atlanta after appearing for the club […]
The Braves’ focus ahead of the trade deadline: pitching, pitching, and more pitching, with a little side of offense. The club needs to add someone who can, at the very least, platoon in left field and at DH, but their top priorities undoubtedly surround the rotation and a bullpen that’s struggled mightily over the last […]
The Braves re-signed infielder Kyle Farmer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. He would’ve debuted with the Stripers tonight before the game was rained out. Farmer is back in the organization after being released last week. He’d spent the season on the big league roster around a six-week injured list stint […]
As the Detroit Tigers mull over whether or not to move Tarik Skubal at the deadline, here's a realistic trade package for every contender linked to the ace.
Well, tomorrow’s going to be a busy one! The Braves and Mets played through a little bit of rain during Monday night’s debacle and even though tonight has already been declared a washout, there’s a chance that they may have to dodge some more raindrops tomorrow as well. The weather is looking really bleak either […]
The four areas the Braves could stand to upgrade going into the trade deadline are the rotation, bullpen, shortstop, and left field. Yesterday, I came up with three trade hypotheticals for the top starting pitchers who could be available. Now it’s time to talk relievers. Mason Miller Braves receive: Mason Miller Padres receive: Eric Hartman, […]
The Braves have had their game with the New York Mets rained out. Does that mean they’re standing pat today? No, sir or madam. Do you think they’re out there actively trying to improve the team? In theory. The Atlanta Braves, who hold a five and a half game lead in the NL East and […]
Unfortunately, Tuesday night’s clash with the Mets has already been postponed, but that does mean we get two games tomorrow between the division rivals, and the Braves are preparing accordingly with a couple of notable roster moves. First and foremost, AJ Smith-Shawver is expected to make his season debut — the first time he’ll be […]
