Falcons injury updates on Jessie Bates III, Zach Harrison
The injury bug is rolling through the Falcons locker room in the first week of training camp, with Jalon Walker being the most notable loss. He suffered a torn ACL earlier this week and will miss the entire 2026 campaign. Both Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. are less than 100%. The back injury for […]
Falcons release 2022 second-round pick
The Falcons announced on Friday that they have released 2022 second-round pick Troy Andersen and signed wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson. We have made the following roster moves: – Released Troy Andersen– Signed Kristian Wilkersonhttps://t.co/qPic7TsZA5 pic.twitter.com/bBDhmd8BSK — Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) August 7, 2026 Andersen was the 58th overall pick, and his story is a frustrating one. […]
Ken Rosenthal describes Braves negotiations for Tarik Skubal, Jacob deGrom
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 […]
Time for the Braves to make a change at shortstop?
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 […]
Braves top prospect Cam Caminiti impresses in Double-A debut
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 […]
Braves win 8th straight, Tyler Mahle set to make debut against Yankees
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 […]
Braves: Latest update on Reynaldo Lopez
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 […]
Braves: Walt Weiss provides clarity on injury to Robert Suarez
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 […]
3 developments that could make up for the Braves poor trade deadline
Two days later, and the Braves haven’t felt the effects of a relatively quiet trade deadline. If anything, the current rotation is pitching with something to prove, allowing just one run over the last 13 innings on the way to back-to-back wins. However, let’s be very clear about something: the Braves acquiring more arms at […]
ESPN proposes blockbuster trade for the Falcons
Training camp is typically where the hype train begins — no matter whether the team is a Super Bowl contender or not. The vibes are positive, football is around the corner, and every team still feels like they have a prayer’s chance at eternal glory. That hasn’t really been the case in Atlanta, for a […]
Braves extend win streak to 7 games, and this one had massive implications
Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes — do you think they might have heard all the negative noise after the Braves failed to add starting pitching at the trade deadline? They sure pitched like it over the last two nights. Holmes didn’t give up a run over six innings on Tuesday, with Elder looking even better, […]
Jim Bowden gives Braves an odd superlative for the trade deadline
Over at The Athletic, Jim Bowden handed out his superlatives for the MLB trade deadline, highlighting some of the best and worst moves. The Braves, given their lack of action, weren’t mentioned much, but they were handed one award — best job of blocking another team from getting players. “Atlanta acquired both Mahle and Thomas, […]
Braves under the radar prospect is tearing up Triple-A Gwinnett
When rosters expand in September to 28 players, it’s possible we see a prospect or two who haven’t made an appearance in Atlanta yet. Perhaps one of them is Eric Hartman. The #1 prospect in the organization was recently promoted to Double-A Columbus following the trade deadline after a magical four months with the Rome […]
The Kyle Pitts optimism is back — and it might be warranted this time
For years, Falcons fans have been waiting for the Kyle Pitts breakout campaign — the version they saw when he burst onto the scene as a rookie back in 2021. Various things have held him back since then. The quarterback play has been rather dismal, even if there were brief moments with Kirk Cousins under […]
Marcell Ozuna released, should the Braves show interest?
In the past couple of days, two familiar faces that had the best moments of their respective careers with the Braves have been released. Yesterday, it was Jorge Soler. Today, it is Marcell Ozuna. Según mis fuentes, los Piratas de Pittsburgh han dejado en libertad al cañonero dominicano Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna bateó para .203 esta […]
Industry has mixed reviews for Braves trade deadline
Like many people, I’ve had no problem calling the Braves out for their lack of action at the trade deadline. This is a really good baseball team, one that’s 23 games over .500 and a near lock to make the postseason. But there were still clear areas of need across the pitching staff. A starting […]
Worst fears realized for the Falcons, Jalon Walker
Falcons second-year pass rusher Jalon Walker went down during practice yesterday, and it immediately felt like something that could be season-ending based on the way the team reacted. Practice was called off, Walker was embraced by several teammates, and he was eventually carted off the field. Hours later, MRI results confirmed the worst — a […]
Another big step for AJ Smith-Shawver, who should rejoin Braves soon
The Braves beat the Marlins 4-2 on Tuesday for their sixth straight win behind a marvelous performance from Grant Holmes, who might have been sending a message to the many complaining about an underwhelming trade deadline. Just as importantly, when discussing potential options to start a playoff game two months from now, AJ Smith-Shawver turned […]
Ranking the Braves best options to start a playoff game after Chris Sale
The Braves’ trade deadline was a massive disappointment, and while the discussion around it will carry on until the end of the season, it’s time to look ahead and dissect how this team could piece together 27 outs when October baseball arrives. The bullpen, which has been the club’s biggest strength all season, will undoubtedly […]
Jalon Walker goes down with potential serious injury at Falcons practice
The last thing you want to hear about during training camp, especially with key players, is injuries. Unfortunately, the Falcons could be facing a massive one, as Jalon Walker went down at Tuesday’s practice with what appears to be a significant injury. The team huddled around and embraced him before he exited the field on […]
Alex Anthopoulos explains the plan for the Braves at shortstop
The Braves announced yesterday that Jorge Mateo has been designated for assignment, and Ha-Seong Kim has been reinstated from the Injured List. That was always the likeliest course of action given the $20 million Atlanta paid Kim in the offseason, but it doesn’t appear he’ll be the everyday starter. That title still belongs to rookie […]
Braves release Andrew McCutchen
According to the Gwinnett Stripers transaction log, the Braves have released five-time All-Star Andrew McCutchen. McCutchen inked a minor-league contract with the Braves about a month ago after being released by the Rangers. It was always a long shot he’d work his way back onto a major-league roster, and the acquisition of Lane Thomas ahead […]
Did the Falcons overpay? Evaluating four major contract extensions
The Falcons didn’t have a ton of money to spend on addressing their needs in free agency, but it wasn’t a quiet offseason in Atlanta. The first order of business for the new regime was contract extensions for four players they clearly view as pillars of the franchise. A couple of them were no-brainers. The […]
Report: Braves made top prospects available for Tarik Skubal, Tigers balked
As more insight emerges about the Braves’ disappointing trade deadline, it’s becoming evident Alex Anthopoulos had his eyes fixed on the top of the starting pitching market — and if he couldn’t get what he wanted, he felt comfortable standing pat. Ken Rosenthal reported on multiple occasions about Atlanta’s interest in Jacob deGrom, who ultimately […]
Grading the Braves trade deadline deals that they actually made
Over the next several days — and possibly much longer — there will be very few positive comments about what the Braves accomplished at the trade deadline, whether from fans or outside voices. It was an unmitigated disaster, a complete and total failure from the entire front office. For a brief moment, though, I’ll break […]
