Latest news and updates about the Braves
With Tyler Mahle making his Atlanta debut and New York’s Max Fried facing his former team for the first time, it’s safe to say Friday night’s series opener between the Braves and Yankees was among the most anticipated pitching matchups of the season. Both of them more than delivered on the high expectations. Each starter […]
We’re in for a major “old friend” alert Friday night as former World Series champion Braves pitcher Max Fried faces his former team for the first time as his second season with the Yankees nears the homestretch. On the Braves side, Tyler Mahle, acquired from the Giants ahead of the trade deadline, will make his […]
Tyler Mahle (#54, 31, RHP, 3-9, 5.13) vs. Max Fried (#54, 32, LHP, 4-3, 3.12) BRAVES RF Ronald The post Yankees (64-51) vs. Braves (70-45), Friday, August 7, 2026, 9:00 PM EDT (Approximately) appeared first on Replacement Level Yankee Weblog .
It’s Unofficial 1990s Throwback Night at Yankee Stadium on Friday, as the Atlanta Braves are in town to face the Yankees for a three-game set. These showdowns always bring to mind fond—for us anyway—memories of the 1996 and 1999 Fall Classics, when the Yankees came back from down 0-2 to win their first championship in […]
Even these days, interleague matchups aren’t exactly common, making this the first time that Max Fried will face his former club since joining the Yankees. Obviously it isn’t as special as that first visit to Truist Park (which he made at the 2025 All-Star Game), but it adds a layer to this game—the unique context […]
Surviving the MLB trade deadline is one thing, but trades, free agency and tough roster decisions could have these 30 players wearing different uniforms in 2027.
Atlanta et Max Fried walk in free agency, and so far, they aren't better for it.
As the Braves kick off a three-game series on the road against the Yankees, Ha-Seong Kim will make his return to the lineup, playing shortstop and hitting ninth. It’ll be his first game action since June 30, not long after which he was placed on the injured list with middle finger inflammation. Before his IL […]
It’s usually a bad time for the Miami Marlins to run into the Atlanta Braves, based on how these two teams have fared against each other for nearly a decade-and-a-half now. It was an especially bad time for Miami this time around as the Braves came into this series looking hot and playing well. As […]
From all the reports that have come to light since the trade deadline, the Braves’ strategy doesn’t seem too difficult to understand. They were after the very few true ace-type pitchers on the market, targeting Tarik Skubal, Jacob deGrom, and Logan Webb. If they weren’t able to land someone they viewed as a game-changer, they […]
The 2026 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and for much of Braves Country, it feels like the Atlanta Braves once again failed to make a meaningful splash. Last season, in the middle of an injury plagued and disappointing campaign, many fans wanted Atlanta to become sellers by moving impending free agents and any […] The post The Atlanta Braves Didn’t Fail at the Deadline, They Stayed Disciplined appeared first on Just Baseball .
In the press conference immediately following the MLB Trade Deadline, Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations Alex Anthopoulos stated that outside of Tarik Skubal, there was only one other starting pitcher (who he refused to name at the time) who they viewed as an “impact starter” at this year’s trade deadline. There was a lot […]
Cam Caminiti had a matchup with Jesus Made and the Biloxi Shuckers in his first taste of Double-A action, and he rose to the challenge nicely with a solid start. Caminiti’s pitching helped the Clingstones stay in position for a walk-off win. In Single-A Davis Polo kept his magnificent run of pitching going with six […]
The Braves don’t really know what they want to do at shortstop. It’s been that way for almost a half-decade, but the good news right now is that at least they have options. Rookie Jim Jarvis did enough to win the starting job while Ronald Acuña Jr. was out. Acuña’s absence forced Mauricio Dubon into […]
The Nats playoff dreams got buried this week with a 1-7 road trip against the Braves and Phillies. These veteran laden squads taught the young Nats a lesson and showed they were not ready yet. In a season where the Nats have taken so many steps in the right direction, winning against divisional foes remains […]
There might be some debate about the top overall prospect in the Braves system, but there’s none when it comes to the top pitching prospect. That title has belonged to Cam Caminiti since the start of the season, and with Didier Fuentes and JR Ritchie graduating from prospect status, there isn’t even a close second […]
Tonight, the Braves will face Max Fried for the first time ever — they missed facing him when the Yankees visited Atlanta last year. (The three games in that series involved a bullpen game, a Will Warren start, and a Marcus Stroman start.) Fried’s been a Yankee for about a season and a half now, […]
After back-to-back nights of the pitching staff carrying the Braves to wins over the Marlins, the offense decided to make it easy on them, exploding for eleven runs on a night that ended with Miami subbing in a position player to pitch. Ronald Acuña Jr. led the way with a couple of home runs. They […]
While the Yankees didn’t as much as a lot of people hoped at the trade deadline, they still made a couple moves, and also called up top prospect George Lombard Jr. That being said, they still haven’t looked that different early on. The Yankees dropped two of three in their series against the Cardinals. The […]
The Atlanta Braves have won their eighth straight after Thursday’s 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins. Between a solid outing from Martín Pérez and a 14-hit night for the Atlanta lineup, things went well all around. Despite the rain delay, the Braves were able to complete the sweep of the Fish and earned their 70th […]
Baseball is a funny game. It’s hard to win a lot. You win seven straight, sweep one team, win a series against another, Martin Perez is on the hill, it’s rainy — you figure, no one can win ‘em all, we’ll get ‘em tomorrow, we’re in a good place, yadda yadda yadda. Well, turns out, […]
Every single time I clone the game coverage posts and for the game thread I don’t even have to erase Martin Perez’ name. Sigh.
The Braves rotation is getting pretty crowded. Not necessarily with frontline guys, but with plenty of options to give them innings. Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes were fantastic to begin the week. AJ Smith-Shawver should rejoin the club in less than two weeks, and Reynaldo Lopez could be back around that time as well. Lopez […]
Several All-Stars, from Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams to Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies, grade out among the luckiest hitters in MLB.
There are three critical pieces the Braves are hoping to get back at some point before the postseason — AJ Smith-Shawver, Spencer Schwellenbach, and Robert Suarez. Smith-Shawver has already made his season debut for the major-league club after undergoing Tommy John surgery last May, and most recently turned in a really strong appearance for the […]
