Drake Baldwin reinstated, Austin Wynns outrighted to Triple-A
Rejoice, one and all. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year returns. Sensing we needed some good news after the recent skid and mixed Spencer Strider update, the Braves have made an off-day move to reinstate Drake Baldwin from the IL and outright Austin Wynns to Triple-A Gwinnett. Baldwin went down on May 19 with […]
UPDATE: Spencer Strider is shut down from throwing for a month
It would seem the Braves have avoided a crisis on the Spencer Strider front. According to a report from Mark Bowman of MLB.com, an MRI of Strider’s right elbow after his early exit in Friday’s 7-5 loss to the Mets showed no ligament damage. Although his fastball velocity fell precipitously to 88 mph before he […]
Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies and Drake Baldwin currently in line to start at 2026 MLB All-Star Game
Major League Baseball has released the first round of updates for All-Star voting for this year’s MLB All-Star Game, which will be taking place in Philadelphia this season. Assuming things remain as they are, the locals will get an opportunity to boo three players in particular once the introductions are made, as the Braves currently […]
The Week Ahead for Atlanta: Can the Braves beat the Miz?
There’s no place like home and the Atlanta Braves will surely be grateful to have spent some time in their own respective beds instead of what they had to deal during what ended up being a terrible road trip against the White Sox and Mets. With that being said, it’s not like the Braves are […]
Braves 2026 MLB Draft Candidate Tyler Bell Scouting Report
As we close in on the 2026 MLB Draft, the focus on who the Atlanta Braves are looking at for the ninth overall pick has come into focus a bit. Names like Georgia Tech outfielder Drew Burress, Arkansas catcher Ryder Helfrick, Kentucky shortstop Tyler Bell, and Florida prep lefty Gio Rojas seem to be the […]
Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Owen Carey homers, drives in two
(35-33) Gwinnett Stripers @ (37-31) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp – CANCELED (32-31) Pensacola Blue Wahoos 8, (28-32) Columbus Clingstones 4 Box Score The Clingstones dropped the final game of the series 8-4 on Sunday afternoon. Poor starting pitching and an offense that struggled with runners in scoring position, going 1-for-10, did the Clingstones in. Ian Mejia […]
Was that the worst week the Braves will have this year?
Boy, what a week. And no, this isn’t a “Ivan, it’s only Wednesday” meme sort of thing. The Braves did not have a good week. They went 1-4 on the field. They lost Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr., two guys who by themselves could’ve probably hoisted the team into contention if they played like their […]
Braves News: Spencer Strider, Drake Baldwin, more
It was a tough week for the Atlanta Braves, as they finished 1-4 for the week as a whole after losing to the Mets 8-1 on Sunday. While the Braves were the best team in baseball on the road entering the week, every team is bound to have these stretches at least a few times […]
Braves at Mets (and White Sox) series recap: Just one of those weeks!
First off, we’re not going to waste too much time with pleasantries here. That’s because we’ve got to talk about the rain-shortened White Sox series. Do I necessarily want to talk about that series (or either one of these series)? Absolutely not but at the same time (to paraphrase a crazy person), these games must […]
Braves bats go silent in series loss to Mets
The headline says it all. Giving New York another reason to celebrate, the Atlanta Braves fell 8-1 to the New York Mets on Sunday. Bryce Elder’s outing resulted in him only pitching through four innings, allowing two hits, six earned runs, two walks and only two strikeouts. Four of the runs came in the first […]
Braves vs Mets Chat and Discussion: Bryce Elder vs Freddy Peralta
The stage is set, and both teams are looking to close it out in this early Sunday matchup. The streets of New York are ready to add another win under their belts, but will the Braves put a stop to it? First pitch is set for 1:40 PM EDT. Game Notes Lineups Preview
Spencer Strider will be evaluated further by Dr. Keith Meister, per report
Spencer Strider is back in Atlanta after having gone on the 10-Day IL due to what the Atlanta Braves were calling “right arm soreness.” It wasn’t just the elbow acting up on Strider before he exited this past Friday’s game against the New York Mets, as his shoulder was also reportedly in pain as well. […]
Michael Harris leads off for Braves in Mets finale
It’s time for some Sunday baseball. The Atlanta Braves are looking to take the series against their division rivals in this afternoon’s finale, and the rosters are set. Let’s take a look at them. Michael Harris II is leading off for the Braves today, swapping places with Mauricio Dubón. Austin Riley, Ozzie Albies and Matt […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Eric Hartman, Drake Baldwin Homer
Another day, another Eric Hartman homer down in the Atlanta Braves farm system. The day also had Owen Murphy record double digit strikeouts and see Drake Baldwin begin his rehab assignment. However Saturday wasn’t all positive, as Luke Sinnard exited after just one inning. We are still awaiting word on why Sinnard left his start […]
Bryce Elder takes the mound in Mets finale
New York is already in a celebratory mood after winning their first NBA title since 1973, but let’s talk about the fate of the New York Mets, as the Atlanta Braves look to close this series with a win. Bryce Elder’s last outing resulted in six solid innings pitched, allowing two hits, two earned runs […]
Braves News: Spencer Strider to the IL, The Eli White Game, more
As we nervously await the diagnosis on what appeared to be a pretty grim injury to Spencer Strider’s throwing arm, the Braves scraped a win in Flushing with their fifth starter and missing two of their most productive bats. While there is some pitching depth returning from injury, in the form of Hurston Waldrep, AJ […]
Eli White and pitching deliver a tight win for Atlanta
On the first mini-skid of the season, missing Drake Baldwin and Ronald Acuna from the lineup, the Braves were hoping to level the series in Flushing behind Martin Perez. The opening inning was a bit strange, as Sean Manaea threw 19 pitches, only 3 of which were in the strike zone, and was rewarded with […]

Mauricio Dubon leads off, Ha-Seong Kim plays short vs Mets
Hoping to even the series in a duel of average-ish pitching, Atlanta is batting Mauricio Dubon at leadoff, starting Ha-Seong Kim at shortstop, and DHing Jorge Mateo, with Sandy Leon starting at catcher…whoof. This lineup desperately needs the return of Drake Baldwin and Ronald Acuna. Austin Riley remembering how to hit like a star player […]
Braves look to beat New York behind Martin Perez
In a bit of a rough patch of play and missing two of their best bats in Ronald Acuna and Drake Baldwin, the Braves are hoping to be able to beat the Mets in game 2 of their series behind Martin Perez. It appears likely that Sean Manaea will get some bulk innings for the […]
Spencer Strider hits Injured List, Braves recall Anthony Molina
Well, the sad writing was brightly stenciled onto the proverbial wall last night, and there goes Spencer Strider to the Injured List, again: Strider departs, perhaps temporarily, with a 127 ERA-, 131 FIP-, and 103 xFIP-. Despite the hope that he’d build on an extended but uneven stretch in the rotation after returning from a […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Conor Essenburg homers twice for Augusta
Friday brought a ton of action with it as Atlanta’s minor league teams were in full action. Let’s get into it. (35-32) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (36-31) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4 Box Score They needed extra innings to do it, but Gwinnett came away with a win on Friday, beating Jacksonville 5-4. The Stripers bounced back […]
How much would MLB charge me to see all Braves games?
There wasn’t a time when we got to see all of the regular season games on TBS or the Fox family of sports networks. There were always carveouts, but always for another cable channel or an over-the-air network. Basic cable was how we saw TBS, so moving to ESPN or one of the networks just […]
Braves News: Spencer Strider exits, Hurston Waldrep activated, and more
Not only did the Atlanta Braves drop the series opener to the New York Mets 7-5, but things remained difficult on the injury front. Spencer Strider got the start and struggled early on. He exited in the fourth inning due to shoulder and elbow soreness and likely undergo an MRI today. Once again, the Braves […]
Spencer Strider injury looms as Braves dig early hole, drop opener at Mets
A loss in the first game of the season against the New York Mets was bad for the Atlanta Braves. The loss of Spencer Strider to right arm soreness during his start was worse. Strider’s departure after his fastball plummeted to 88-89 mph in the fourth inning overshadowed Atlanta’s 7-5 loss in Queens, N.Y. Friday […]
