AJ Smith-Shawver lights up the radar gun in outstanding rehab start

The Braves rotation hasn’t had many positive developments this season, and the latest injury to Martin Perez is yet another punch they must find a way to roll with; however, the version of AJ Smith-Shawver that should be returning soon is worth getting excited about.

Braves rotation at a crossroads after Martin Perez injury

The Braves fell to the Mets on Sunday afternoon in a thriller — one that started with a flurry of runs, went quiet for a stretch, and then exploded for 11 combined runs in the ninth inning alone. Martin Perez got the start for Atlanta, the latest twist in a wild ride through his 15th […]

Braves using last resort tactic on Ha-Seong Kim

The Braves smacked the Mets Saturday night for their second consecutive win behind home runs from Austin Riley, Eli White, Mike Yastrzemski, Michael Harris II, and Mauricio Dubon — a fitting way to cap off America’s 250th birthday.

Imagining the perfect Braves rotation post-trade deadline

It’s been a rough five weeks for the Braves, featuring an offense that has been the worst in baseball and a rotation that’s fallen off the face of a cliff after a hot start to the season. The latter, however, has provided reasons for optimism over the last few days. Grant Holmes turned in a […]

MLB insider lists starting pitching trade candidates not named Tarik Skubal
