Latest news and updates about the Braves
Have a night, Ryan O’Hearn. The Pirates slugger set a franchise record with 10 RBI on Tuesday against the Braves. O’Hearn hit a grand slam and two three-run homers within the first six innings of the game. He then tacked on an eighth-inning single to give himself a four-hit night. 1. Tolbert matches MLB record Royals […]
The Braves have three significant areas of need heading into the trade deadline — starting pitching, left field, and shortstop. Fixing all of those issues may not be plausible, but two out of three should be the goal, with the rotation being non-negotiable. The Braves must add a frontline arm, and they need to be […]
The Braves are not having a good time, so let’s do a question that’s essentially a link dump. Or, well, a dump of one very specific link. The emphasis is on the word “effectively,” as we know MLB can and has attempted to tamper with the baseball based on its own information. A couple of […]
The Braves can’t find any momentum. They’ve been among the worst teams in baseball since the start of June, and it feels like there’s a different culprit every night. For most of that stretch, it was the rotation and the lineup dragging them down. Both were dismal all month. But this past week, a new […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates had a huge 12-4 win in their series opener against the Atlanta Braves, with Ryan O’Hearn leading the charge from the very first inning. Hurston Waldrep was on the bump for the Braves and did not start off his night great as in the first inning the Pirates had quickly loaded the […]
Former MLB GM Jim Bowden proposed a Twins-Braves Joe Ryan trade that Minnesota shouldn't accept.
Just imagine how different the MLB history books would look if Pirates manager Don Kelly had acted on his instincts. Once the Pittsburgh Pirates built a comfortable lead over the Atlanta Braves at PNC Park, Kelly considered giving the 32-year-old a breather. But he ultimately decided against it, unwilling to rob his star of a […] The post 32YO MLB Star Makes Franchise History After Explosive 3-Homer, 10-RBI Night appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Atlanta Braves made a series of roster moves ahead of Tuesday’s contest in Pittsburgh. Most notably, right-hander Owen Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. In addition, the club selected the contract of lefty Connor Thomas, released righty Daysbel Hernández, recalled righty James Karinchak, and placed righty Tyler Kinley on the paternity list. 22-year-old Murphy […]
Atlanta isn’t just another road trip for Deion Sanders. It’s the city where he made his name with the Falcons, played baseball for the Braves, and became one of the biggest stars in American sports. Yet, he’s treating this as business, not a reunion, and is putting his staff on a tight leash. “I got […] The post “Curfew”: Deion Sanders Imposes Strict Restrictions To Colorado Coaches But Gives Students A Free Pass appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Atlanta Braves traveled to PNC Park in hopes of picking up a much needed win after two heartbreaking losses in a row. Hurston Waldrep made his second start of season for the Braves and Paul Skenes was on the mound hoping to rebound from the worst stretch of his young career. The Braves got […]
The MLB Trade Deadline sits just a month away, and rumors are already beginning to swirl. From players who could be traded to what contending teams will be looking for, there’s lots of excitement this time of year. The Phillies are currently sitting three games behind the Braves for the NL East lead and half […] The post Which Prospects Could the Phillies Trade at the Deadline? appeared first on The Lead .
The Atlanta Braves could badly use a win as they will be facing the reigning Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes and the Pirates. Hurston Waldrep will be taking the mound for his second start of the season, and other than a shaky first inning, he looked like he is ready to come back and […]
The Atlanta Braves visit the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at PNC Park, with Paul Skenes set to headline the matchup on the mound. How to Watch Braves vs Pirates Skenes gets the ball for Pittsburgh in the series opener,…
Ahead of Tuesday’s series opener with the Pirates, Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman had a couple of injury updates on some critical pieces. Ronald Acuña Jr. is getting close to returning. Walt Weiss said he could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week, which could mean we see him back in the Braves […]
Quick Background of Michael Soroka. The Braves drafted him in the first round of the 2015 draft. Perhaps, 2019 was the best season of his career (All-Star, received votes for rookie of the year and Cy Young awards). In 2020, he was the Braves’ youngest opening-day starting-pitcher in the team’s modern history. A series of […]
After two tough losses in a row, the Atlanta Braves will head to PNC Park to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tonight’s matchup will feature newly returned Hurston Waldrep against reigning Cy Young Award winner, Paul Skenes. Both pitchers have something to prove. Waldrep is likely looking to show he is fully good to go, […]
Perhaps this is nothing more than naive optimism, but it does feel as if this could be the trade deadline we finally see Alex Anthopoulos get out of his comfort zone. The Braves have been treading water for three years now, and they don’t really have a choice but to add if they want to […]
One last road trip on deck before the All-Star break, and the Braves are making some roster moves ahead of tonight’s opener in Pittsburgh. Yesterday it was Eli White, and now reliever Tyler Kinley will hit the paternity list as he welcomes a new addition to the family. Congratulations, Tyler! May the paternal powers bless […]
Ahead of their series with the Pirates, the Braves announced a slew of roster moves. It begins with Owen Murphy, who made his MLB debut for the club last night out of the bullpen, getting optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett. In a corresponding move, the Braves have added left-handed pitcher Connor Thomas to the active […]
The Braves re-signed first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez to a new minor league contract, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The Primo Sports Group client was designated for assignment by Atlanta last week and outrighted to Triple-A over the weekend. Tellez briefly elected free agency but is now back in the fold on […]
The Mets did it again, surviving a late push from the Braves to earn a series split. New York jumped ahead in the ninth inning on a home run from Juan Soto, only to cough up the lead in the bottom of the frame. The Mets scored twice in the 10th inning. Luke Weaver stranded […]
Monday was another disappointing development for the Braves. Despite another good start from Reynaldo Lopez, the Braves gave up the lead in the top of the 9th inning and then lost in extras. The game included the MLB debut of Braves prospect Owen Murphy, who was one strike away from allowing no runs in the […]
The Mets proved they still have the capacity to surprise in late innings today as they won 7-6 against the Braves and split the second series of the season against their division rival. Juan Soto walked three times and hit a three-run home run, and Luis Torrens provided the game-winning double in the tenth inning […]
