Latest news and updates about the Braves
The first two games of this series against Atlanta, the NL East front-runner and a possible postseason opponent should the Yankees go deep in October, have gone almost as well as possible, considering the glaring holes in the New York lineup. Starting pitching has been a huge reason for that success. Max Fried and Gerrit […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to avoid a sweep, while the New York Yankees are hoping for a successful outing with Schittler on the mound. Tune in at 1:35 p.m. ET for the first pitch to watch how this contest unfolds. Lineups Preview
Following eight straight wins, the Braves dropped the first two games of their series with the Yankees, both by a single run. On Saturday, a comeback attempt fell just short. The night before, the Yankees pulled off one of their own, scoring two runs in the ninth off Raisel Iglesias before winning the game in […]
The stage is set as the Atlanta Braves look to avoid a sweep against the New York Yankees. Let’s take a look at the lineups. Dominic Smith has returned to DH for the Braves and is batting in the sixth spot. Other than that, the lineup replicates yesterday’s. The bat power is expected (or hoped) […]
Unpacking MLB rumors after the trade deadline with the Braves failing to trade for Giants star Logan Webb, the Red Sox swinging and missing on Elly De La Cruz, and more.
Saturday was a busy day in the Atlanta Braves farm system, with a total of six games played, that the Braves affiliates split. The headliner had to be Owen Carey hitting his first Double-A home run just a handful of games into his promotion. However we also got to see JR Ritchie throw five innings […]
It wasn’t to the same degree as Friday night, but for the second straight day, the Yankees beat the Braves with some dramatics. Ben Rice’s eighth-inning home run ended up proving the difference, despite an Atlanta rally attempt in the ninth inning. George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones also had nice days, as the Yankees […]
It sure looks like Ronald Acuna Jr. is back to his all-world self and that is huge news for the Braves. Outside of the obvious massive upgrade in talent on offense, that also balances out the lineup that has been very left-handed heavy in his absence and with Austin Riley floundering. As we enter the […]
The Yankees played today, just hours after their emotional 3-2...
We were treated to a fun pitching matchup between Chris Sale and Gerrit Cole in the Bronx on Saturday. Sale blinked first in the second, allowing a run on a double and a single, despite pumping upper 90s heat with his fastball. After a couple more quiet innings, the Braves flipped the script in the […]
New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole made history on Saturday.
Set the clock back seven or eight years and this is the premier game of the weekend. Neither Gerrit Cole nor Chris Sale are fully the Cy Youngs they used to be, and yet they’re both still quite good in 2026. After a nailbiter of a win yesterday, Cole will look to give the Yankees […]
The New York Yankees provided an update on designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton during their current series against the Atlanta Braves.
With the New York Yankees currently battling the Atlanta Braves this weekend, the team also puts notice on the 78th Old-Timers’ Day on Saturday.

The Atlanta Braves have largely removed the NL East race from the equation. At 70–46, the Braves lead the Philadelphia Phillies by 8.5 games and have won eight of their last 10. Their remaining schedule still carries significant stakes, however.

The New York Yankees needed a late offensive breakthrough Friday night, and Ryan McMahon delivered.

After the Braves got a gem of a start from Tyler Mahle in his Braves’ debut as the headline trade deadline addition, Chris Sale will look to produce more of the same in the Bronx from the rotation. Gerrit Cole will take the mound for the pinstripes, as he is more of a third starter […]
As improbable as it seems, the Yankees won both a one-run game and an extra innings game in one fell swoop, Ryan McMahon’s tenth inning sac fly enough to sink the Braves, 3-2. Max Fried tossed 6.1 scoreless while his offense waited until the ninth inning to score their first runs. There were a handful […]
It might be possible that second half Austin RileyTM has arrived. Maybe we should ask Fernando Cruz. It might be possible. The man was left for dead in the first half, only sporting a .207/.288/.329, a 73 wRC+, and 9 home runs in 385 plate appearances. It wasn’t just the top-line numbers. He was genuinely […]
The Atlanta Braves’ eight-game win streak came to an end on Friday after a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Tyler Mahle, acquired just ahead of the trade deadline, made his Braves debut and was fantastic. In six scoreless innings, he allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out nine. Though a terrific start […]
Ryan McMahon came to the rescue for the New York Yankees in their 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves in extra innings on Friday night. McMahon is going through the 10th season of his career in the majors, his second with the Yankees.

Every moment in a game is another opportunity to shift the momentum. And for eight frames, the Yankees had and wasted their chances to do so, but one big inning was all it took to survive and eventually win it in extras. Down 2-0 in the ninth, the Yankees refused to quit, rattled the Braves […]
