Braves slated to give Owen Murphy first career start

Braves vs. Rangers Friday: Chris SaleSaturday: Owen MurphySunday: Grant Holmes — Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) July 15, 2026 Given the issues in the rotation, […]
The 6 sellers, and what they can offer the Braves in a trade
Due to the expanded playoffs and the miserably weak American League, the number of teams guaranteed to sell ahead of the trade deadline is smaller than ever. MLB insider and former GM Jim Bowden has it at just six right now, which he discussed on the latest episode of GM Territory. Here’s the list and […]
Timeline for AJ Smith-Shawver to return to the Braves
As the Braves desperately search for answers to their rotation woes, AJ Smith-Shawver is next in line to get a crack. The hard-throwing right-hander began his rehab assignment at the beginning of the month. In his first two outings, he was unhittable — touching 100 MPH on the radar gun and showing off impeccable control […]
Three biggest questions the Braves face entering the second half
An abysmal finish has taken a lot of the air out of what was, on the whole, a strong first half for the Braves. But in some ways, it’s better to go through a rough patch now than two weeks before October baseball. The Braves know exactly what needs to be addressed heading into the […]
Bad signs for the Braves hopes at the trade deadline
There are some very intriguing trade matches for the Braves in the American League. Unfortunately, that league is as watered down as it’s ever been, and with the expanded playoffs, pretty much everyone feels like they not only have a chance to make the postseason but a real shot at working their way to the […]
Ha-Seong Kim homers in first game of rehab assignment
It’s not the All-Star break for everybody, as two injured Braves — Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim — began their rehab assignments on Monday in the Florida Complex League. The level of excitement surrounding the two couldn’t be on more opposite ends of the spectrum. The Braves are a completely different team without Ronald […]
Jeff Francoeur wants Didier Fuentes in the Braves rotation. Should they do it?
Six weeks ago, it was a lot easier for the Braves to feel confident about their rotation — even if they were still searching for answers on who exactly the #2 and #3 behind Chris Sale would be. Nobody had quite performed up to that level, but there were plenty of internal options with the […]
Braves enter the All-Star break in first place and full of questions
It’s not often a club enters the All-Star break leading its division while the entire discussion centers on whether it can turn things around in the second half. But that’s where the Braves find themselves, having watched a 10.5-game lead in the NL East evaporate as they limped into the break by dropping 19 of […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim begin rehab assignments
On Monday morning, the Braves announced that Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim will begin their rehab assignments with the FCL Braves. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim today begin rehabilitation assignments with the FCL Braves. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 13, 2026 Acuña is obviously the big one here. He hasn’t appeared in a […]
Braves make a slew of roster moves amid series with Cardinals
Amid their series with the Cardinals, the Braves announced a slew of roster moves. Rookie Owen Murphy is returning to the club after making his MLB debut last week out of the bullpen. He’s replacing James Karinchak, who has been optioned to Gwinnett. Additionally, outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has been placed on the Injured List with […]
Braves Roster Moves: Hurston Waldrep optioned to Gwinnett
The Braves made a slightly surprising roster move ahead of their series with the Cardinals. Tyler Kinley has been activated from the paternity list, and in a corresponding move, Hurston Waldrep has been optioned to Gwinnett. The #Braves today reinstated RHP Tyler Kinley from the paternity list and optioned RHP Hurston Waldrep to Triple-A Gwinnett. […]
Jeff Passan’s best and dream trade fits for the Braves
With three weeks until the trade deadline, ESPN’s Jeff Passan gave his “best match” and “dream match” for the Atlanta Braves, addressing two entirely different needs. Best Match For The Braves — Freddy Peralta Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Mets have underachieved this season. Despite limitless funds thanks to the backing of […]
Braves farm system is experiencing an incredible rise
For several years, the Braves farm system has been ranked among the worst in baseball — which is admittedly pretty ironic, considering they’ve continued to produce highly productive young players at an alarming rate. The overall depth, particularly at the lower levels, just wasn’t there. That’s no longer the case. Eric Hartman has taken the […]
Time for Braves to make Jim Jarvis the everyday starting shortstop
You have to go all the way back to June 21st to find the last time the Braves won a series, and following a disappointing Game 1 against the Pirates on Tuesday, it looked like the drought might stretch into the All-Star break. Instead, a gem from Atlanta’s pitching staff on Wednesday set the stage, […]
Braves make two notable roster moves on Thursday
The Braves made a couple of notable roster moves on Thursday — one involving the major-league club, the other tied to one of their injured pitchers. Eli White has been activated from the paternity list, and in a corresponding move, José Azócar has been designated for assignment. The #Braves today reinstated OF Eli White from […]
Ken Rosenthal: Braves are targeting Sonny Gray trade
With several massive holes in their rotation, the Braves have no choice but to be aggressive in their pursuit of starting pitching leading up to the trade deadline. They’ve already been linked to Tarik Skubal, and now Ken Rosenthal is reporting that they covet veteran Sonny Gray as well. “The Atlanta Braves are one of […]
Move over Eric Hartman: Alex Lodise is the Braves’ hottest prospect
For much of the first half, Eric Hartman and Tate Southisene grabbed all the headlines on the farm — and for good reason. Hartman is making history just a couple of years after being drafted in the 20th round. He secured a 20/30 first half, vaulting himself from unranked all the way to the 25th-best […]
Is Grant Holmes the Braves second best starting pitcher?
Looking to snap a three-game skid, the Braves sent Grant Holmes to the mound against Jared Jones — a matchup that turned into an unexpected duel between two arms who haven’t exactly had All-Star caliber 2026 campaigns. Jones came in having made just eight starts on the season after returning from injury, and across those […]
Braves’ collapse has turned the NL East into a free-for-all
The last six weeks have completely erased all the good the Braves did over the first two months of the season. A 10.5-game lead has withered to just 2.0 — and it could be gone entirely by the time the All-Star break arrives. But the NL East isn’t just a two-man race between the Braves […]
Execs, coaches, and scouts name Bijan Robinson the NFL’s best running back
The Falcons haven’t had a lot to cheer about since Matt Ryan and Julio Jones were in their primes, but they can say they’ve got the best running back in the game. ESPN recently polled a group of executives, scouts, and coaches, asking them to rank the top running backs in the league. Coming in […]
Braves shuffle the roster again as Víctor Mederos returns
It was another night to forget for the Braves on Tuesday, as the pitching staff surrendered 12 runs over just eight innings. The problems began with Hurston Waldrep, who was responsible for seven of them, but continued with Connor Thomas, who was making his season debut for the Braves. He ate innings in a game […]
What it would cost the Braves to land Joe Ryan at the trade deadline
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 […]
Alex Anthopoulos ignored the Braves’ rotation, and it’s backfiring again
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 […]
Braves injury updates on Ronald Acuña Jr. and Robert Suarez
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 […]
Braves named a best fit for 17 of the top trade deadline candidates
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 […]
