Latest news and updates about the Braves
Both Ha-Seong Kim and Ronald Acuña Jr. are amid rehab assignments in Gwinnett, and either could rejoin the Braves over the next week or so. Acuña’s role is defined. Alex Anthopoulos didn’t mince words about the idea of him becoming the primary DH — that’s not happening. He’ll continue as the club’s everyday right fielder, […]
As the trade deadline approaches, several of the Braves’ top prospects likely won’t be with the organization in a couple of weeks. Atlanta has needs that must be addressed, and almost everybody expects them to be aggressive in doing so. I asked the question last week, though — is there any prospect the Braves should […]
There are 62 games left in the 2026 MLB season for the San Diego Padres. They are one game under .500 and 2.5 games back of the last wild-card spot. The schedule features a road series with the Eastern division-leading Atlanta Braves followed by the Miami Marlins. The Marlins are in the race for the […]
The San Diego Padres are running out of time to save their season. They dropped their third game in four days with a 3-2 loss to open a four-game series with the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on Monday. The frustrating part was the Padres cobbled together seven hits, but both of their runs came […]
Victor Mederos has taken Braves Country by storm to start the second half of the season. The latest chapter in his growing legend was on Monday night, as he backed Bryce Elder’s excellent start with a 2 1/3 innings save. A mixture of high energy and velocity, Mederos has continued to look impressive in his […]
As Alex Anthopoulos makes his media rounds ahead of the trade deadline, most of what you’ll hear is the same thing he says every time he steps in front of a microphone. Occasionally, though, he’ll drop an intriguing Braves nugget about something that nearly happened in the past, and he did just that in his […]
The Braves are beginning to earn back the trust of the entire Southeast with their performances to start the second half. Over the weekend against the Rangers, it was the offense that carried the group. On Monday, to kick off the week against the Padres, the pitching staff held it down — and did so […]
Joe Ryan has become one of the most sought-after arms on the trade market, and the Minnesota Twins face a franchise-altering decision on the right-hander ahead of the August 3 deadline. ESPN's Jeff Passan gave Ryan a 55 percent chance of being traded, listing the Cubs, Padres, Athletics, Diamondbacks, Braves, White Sox, Nationals, Blue Jays, and Cardinals among his best fits. The 30-year-old is having an outstanding season, previously sitting at a 2.85 ERA, before Monday's brutal outing, wit...
The Atlanta Braves started their four game series against the San Diego Padres in much need of revenge after being swept by the Padres just four weeks ago. The Braves have been red hot on offense leading all MLB teams in runs scored in July. This past week in particular has been great with Drake […]

Pitching injuries have been a staple of the Atlanta Braves organization over the last several years, and it looks like they could be dealing with another major issue with one of their most promising young arms.

The Braves have spent the bulk of the season in first place in the National League East, but a once-comfortable lead has dwindled to three games over the resurgent Phillies (six and eight over the upstart Marlins and Nationals, respectively). As their division rivals have improved their play in recent weeks, Atlanta has struggled both […]
The Royals have signed veteran lefty Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha. Bummer has appeared in 406 career MLB games with the White Sox and Braves with a 3.94 ERA. He was let go by Atlanta earlier this year after posting a 7.36 ERA in 19 games. Bummer […]
The Atlanta Braves have the hottest offense in MLB since the start of July. No team has scored more runs than them, and they currently are third in wRC+. Of course Drake Baldwin and Austin Riley coming out of the All-Star break on fire has helped, but that has only been a small part of […]
According to Jon Morosi, the Athletics are listening to offers on some of their outfielders, with the hope of landing young starting pitching in return. MLB Trade Deadline note: The A’s have received inquiries on their MLB outfielders. (They have 5 on the active roster and Clarke on the IL.) The scenarios would involve the […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to make a statement coming out of the All-Star break and their offense has been doing just that. The pitching has struggled a bit, so as they face the San Diego Padres this week it could go a long way in showing that the Braves are truly back or not […]
Alex Anthopoulos is making his media rounds now two weeks away from what’s expected to be a very active trade deadline for the Atlanta Braves. As always, he’s never going to give too much away or talk explicitly about any specific deals, but Anthopoulos is typically a relatively straight shooter, and he didn’t hesitate to […]
The Braves are set to gain a couple of reinforcements over the next couple of weeks in Martin Perez and AJ Smith-Shawver, as they continue searching for answers in their rotation. According to Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman, Perez will be back this week, set to start Wednesday against the Padres. Braves probables vs. Padres […]
After what felt like a never-ending wait, the time to trade is nearly upon Major League Baseball. This year’s trade deadline is August 3 at 6 p.m. ET, giving contending clubs just two weeks to reinforce their rosters for the stretch drive. The Atlanta Braves are one of many teams seeking the missing pieces for their […]
Over the weekend, Walt Weiss had some not-so-encouraging comments on Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach, suggesting it didn’t look likely either would return this season. Strider coming back still feels highly unlikely after yet another significant elbow injury, but Weiss walked back his comments on Schwellenbach, saying he’d gone to Florida over the All-Star break […]
It was a tough six or so weeks for the Braves as they limped into the second half, watching a once 10.5-game lead in the NL East shrink all the way down to just two games ahead of the Phillies. But some recent developments should have everybody feeling more confident that the second-half version of […]
