Latest news and updates about the Braves
I never thought I’d say this about the 2026 New York Mets but folks, I’m tired of them. I think y’all would agree with me on that as well. Indeed, the Mets have seemingly had Atlanta’s number this season and it’s coming at an inopportune time — one when the Mets are about as vulnerable […]
Over his tenure as general manager, Alex Anthopoulos has refused to trade his best prospects — and more often than not, he’s been right to do so. Ninety-five percent of the young talent he’s included in trades has gone on to amount to very little, while the guys he’s held onto have turned into superstars. […]
12. Herick Hernandez – LHP How he got to the Braves: 2024 4th round pick (#129 overall) The Braves took Herick Hernandez in the fourth round two years ago and the lefty out of Miami is already in Triple-A. He’s split the year between three levels, though the one start in Augusta was a rehab […]
All in all it was a very successful day down on the farm as multiple teams came away with wins. Above all else, there were plenty of individual performances to highlight. (53-48) Gwinnett Stripers 7, (46-55) Durham Bulls 3 (GAME ONE) Box Score The bats showed up and showed out in game one of Gwinnett’s […]
We are starting to slowly see some action as the August 3rd trade deadline inches near, and by the time we reach the weekend, things should be going full throttle, with Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos at the center of it all. Or will he be? In a recent piece from Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, an […]
Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But, will they, before the season is done? On the one hand — no. They don’t really have other options (at least not right now), they haven’t done it yet, and Riley has at least shown temporary signs of righting the ship, even if they’ve evaporated as quickly as […]
Meet the Mets The Mets split a doubleheader with the Braves and look to win the series overall after a win on Monday. In the first game Carson Benge drove in the go-ahead run and Sean Manaea was solid in the victory. In game two Christian Scott was great but the offense couldn’t figure out […]
Sean Murphy has missed essentially the entire season, appearing in just four games. He didn’t make his first start of the campaign until May 4th after undergoing hip surgery in September of last year, and a week later, he found himself on the IL following a freak incident that resulted in a broken middle finger. […]
The Braves split Wednesday’s doubleheader with the Mets on a day where pitching dominated, as both teams combined for just six runs over 18 innings. AJ Smith-Shawver was the one making his season debut in Game 1 — exactly 14 months removed from his last start for the Braves. It wasn’t flawless, but it was […]
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 […]
