Will the Braves rue the Martin Perez injury?
Martin Perez came from pretty much out of nowhere, including his own DFA earlier in the season, to chip in handily for the Braves. While he was more fortunate-and-or-availing-himself-of-the-defense than good (73 ERA- but a 104 FIP- and a 107 xFIP-), the Braves weren’t exactly awash in non-Chris Sale effective starters for much of the […]
Braves News: Martín Pérez to injured list, home finale, and more
The Atlanta Braves announced Thursday that left-hander Martín Pérez is headed to the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his lower back. The move is retroactive to September 21. In a corresponding move, the club called up righty Elieser Hernández. It’s unfortunate timing as the Postseason is right around the corner, but skipper Walt Weiss […]
Braves drop home finale to Reds as Tyler Mahle struggles
The Braves appeared to be on their way to a victory in the home regular season finale, but a shaky start from Tyler Mahle and a lineup that went quiet after the early innings led to a 7-6 lost at Truist Park on Thursday night. Mahle, making his final start before the postseason, had his […]
Braves vs. Reds chat and discussion: Tyler Mahle vs. Brady Singer
It’s the home finale for the Atlanta Braves! Will Tyler Mahle make it another great start on the mound for the Braves? Will the home team send the home fans home happy for one last time before the Postseason gets under way? Let’s get into it, shall we? Also, join us on the app — […]
Martín Pérez to be placed on Injured List with lower back inflammation, Elieser Hernandez recalled
We received injury news from the Braves ahead of Walt Weiss’s usual pregame press conference this afternoon. Ronnie’s fine, but Martín Pérez is not. Perez only threw 79 pitches in his last start. There didn’t appear to be any signs of struggle, so perhaps this has been an issue for some time. Hey, at least […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. returns to Braves lineup after injury scare
Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the Braves lineup and ultimately missed just one game after fouling a baseball off his knee during night’s contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Acuña is batting second in the order — sandwiched between Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson — and is playing in right field, an even more encouraging […]
Braves set for regular season home finale as Tyler Mahle takes the mound
It’s hard to believe, but today marks the final home game of the regular season for the Atlanta Braves. Where does the time go? For Atlanta, it will be trade deadline acquisition extraordinaire Tyler Mahle who makes his final tune up start of the season before (presumably) pitching game two of the National League Wild […]
What would be the funniest postseason outcome in these last four games?
It’s almost the end of the season, and while the Braves are safe from the mild insanity, it doesn’t mean it can’t take hold elsewhere. In the AL West, or really the AL Texas division at this point, both the Rangers and Astros are two games under .500 and tied atop the division. The loser […]
Braves News: Ronald Acuna injury update, Robert Suarez returns, more
Well the Braves’ position in the playoffs may be clear (the third seed in the NL), but their opponent is far from clear, with the Padres, Phillies, and Cubs all very close to clinching wild-card spots, but within 0.5 games of each other, pending the Padres’ result against the Dodgers. With the return of Robert […]
Braves walk it off in extras as Chris Sale reaches milestone
The Atlanta Braves took on the Cincinnati Reds in what will be Chris Sale’s final start of the season. The Braves have already clinched their division and likely will not catch the two seed, but it was still going to be a fun game with Chris Sale trying to reach the two-hundred strikeout mark. Chris […]
Braves vs Reds chat and discussion: Chris Sale vs Andrew Abbott
The Atlanta Braves are taking on the Cincinnati Reds after overcoming a scare yesterday where Ronald Acuña when down when he fouled a ball off of his lower leg. Fortunately, tests came back negative. Chris Sale is likely making his final start of the regular season in a matchup against Andrew Abbott where we see […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. is reportedly walking without a limp, should return to lineup soon
The lineups are out for tonight’s middle game between the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds and the big news as far as Atlanta concerned was focused on injuries. There’s good news to report on both fronts, as manager Walt Weiss is planning on Robert Suarez making his first big league appearance following his activation […]
Dubón in LF, Hicklen in RF, and Acuña out of lineup for Braves
The Atlanta Braves have fortunately gotten to a point in the season where they don’t have to go all out if they choose in terms of roster moves and lineups. The odds of getting the second seed has significantly dwindled and they have already clinched their division. Because of this, and add in that Ronald […]
Chris Sale takes the mound for the Atlanta Braves
In what will likely be his last regular season start for the Atlanta Braves this season, Chris Sale will be facing off against Andrew Abbott and the Cincinnati Reds. Chris Sale is not the front runner for the Cy Young award, but will most certainly get some second and third place votes with his 2.18 […]
Robert Suarez is back from the Injured List
The Atlanta Braves (who are, were, and ever shall be National League East Division Champions) have made a roster move before they entertain the Cincinnati Reds for an exhibition of baseball tonight. Robert Suarez, who had been away since June 26th with right elbow inflammation, has been reinstated from the 60-day Injured List. Honestly, it’s […]
Will JR Ritchie make the playoff roster?
JR Ritchie had maybe his best outing as a major leaguer last night against the Reds. I say maybe because, well, he did give up a homer, and also that the level of competition he faced from the Cincinnati attack was a lot lower than, say, what he faced in his MLB debut against the […]
Braves News: Ronald Acuña Jr. day-to-day, Robert Suarez, and more
It was a rough day all around for the Atlanta Braves, who suffered a 4-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Not only were the Braves shutout, but Ronald Acuña Jr. fouled a ball off his shin and exited the game in the third inning. Fortunately, his X-ray was negative and he is considered day-to-day. While […]
JR Ritchie strong, but Braves sleepwalk in post-hangover game, lose 4-0
Was this a hangover game? Or was it a post-hangover game, given the travel-related off day on Monday? Whatever the case, the Braves didn’t put up much of a fight as they dropped a fairly meaningless contest to the Reds by a score of 4-0. If you want a positive from this game, look at […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. exits game with left shin contusion, is day-to-day
Welp, this was just about the absolute last thing that anybody wanted to see with the Postseason on the horizon. With two outs in the third inning and a full-count, Ronald Acuña Jr. fouled one off of his lower leg on one of the spots that wasn’t protected by padding. He was in obvious pain […]
Braves vs Reds chat and discussion: JR Ritchie vs Brandon Williamson
Playing out the string.
No rest (yet?) for the regulars in first Braves game after clinch
Did you think there were going to be days off? There are no days off. At least not yet. Maybe a partial day off? We’ll see. This is the same lineup the Braves rolled out when they last had to face a lefty (8-4 loss to the Cubs). They also used this lineup in the […]
Division-winning Braves set to begin tune-ups as they welcome Reds to town
It’s tune-up time. The division is clinched, the chances of getting not-the-three seed in the NL are very low, and the Braves are presumably going to take it easy for their last two series before playoff action begins. For the first part of this week, they’ll host the Reds, and then complete the regular season […]
Gwinnett Stripers 2026 season recap
The Gwinnett Stripers season has come to a close, ending the minor league season in the Atlanta Braves organization. The Braves Triple-A affiliate has completed its season by going 76-73, one of just two out of the team’s six affiliates with a winning record in 2026. This article will highlight some of the successes and […]
What are you watching for as the Braves play out the string?
Well, the Braves are likely in “rest and get ready for a short playoff series” mode. They clinched the division, but they have a very, very low chance of getting a bye. So, these final six games, both against no-longer-contenders, are essentially just forced appearances on the calendar. That said, there are some things that […]
Braves News: Eric Hartman wins Braves MiLB Player of Year, Postseason Rotation, More
Monday was a well deserved off day for the Braves. However, there are still few games to be played and a few story lines to sort out as the postseason comes into focus. For one, it is still a really close race to determine who the Braves will actually play. The Braves also want to […]
