Acuña looks ready to return, Jim Jarvis powers Braves to another win
The tide appears to be shifting in Atlanta after a really rough two-month stretch. The bats are waking up across the lineup, and Ronald Acuña Jr. should be rejoining the Braves this weekend. He looked all the way back on Wednesday night, recording two hits for the Gwinnett Stripers and stealing a base. The offense […]
Braves make notable roster move amid series with Padres
The Braves made a notable roster move amid their series with the Padres, optioning JR Ritchie back to Gwinnett and activating Martin Perez from the Injured List. Perez will start tonight as the Braves aim to take Game 3 against San Diego. The #Braves today reinstated LHP Martín Pérez from the injured list and optioned […]
Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon lay out Braves trade framework for Tarik Skubal
The hottest topic leading up to the trade deadline surrounds two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, and whether the Tigers will ultimately move him. Six weeks ago, that looked like a foregone conclusion, with Detroit sporting the worst record in the majors. Now? Not so much. The Tigers have played their way back into […]
Good and bad news for Braves as trade deadline approaches
Over at ESPN, Jeff Passan and Buster Olney have the latest insight as the trade deadline approaches, and there are a couple of intriguing themes that will very much affect the Atlanta Braves. On the positive side, even in a seller’s market, the starting pitching market is expected to be robust, with both Olney and […]
Ha-Seong Kim showing some signs of life in Gwinnett
Both Ha-Seong Kim and Ronald Acuña Jr. are amid rehab assignments in Gwinnett, and either could rejoin the Braves over the next week or so. Acuña’s role is defined. Alex Anthopoulos didn’t mince words about the idea of him becoming the primary DH — that’s not happening. He’ll continue as the club’s everyday right fielder, […]
Alex Anthopoulos says one Braves prospect is nearly untouchable
As the trade deadline approaches, several of the Braves’ top prospects likely won’t be with the organization in a couple of weeks. Atlanta has needs that must be addressed, and almost everybody expects them to be aggressive in doing so. I asked the question last week, though — is there any prospect the Braves should […]
An updated look at the Hawks roster following the trade for Lu Dort
The Hawks roster is coming together following their most recent trade, sending former #1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher to the Mavericks in a three-team deal that netted Atlanta Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard. It’s a move that really solidifies the Hawks’ defensive outlook, which should carry the team through the regular season, but Onsi Saleh […]
Alex Anthopoulos says shocking Braves trade nearly happened in 2021
As Alex Anthopoulos makes his media rounds ahead of the trade deadline, most of what you’ll hear is the same thing he says every time he steps in front of a microphone. Occasionally, though, he’ll drop an intriguing Braves nugget about something that nearly happened in the past, and he did just that in his […]
Robbed of an All-Star nod, Michael Harris II is playing with something to prove
The Braves are beginning to earn back the trust of the entire Southeast with their performances to start the second half. Over the weekend against the Rangers, it was the offense that carried the group. On Monday, to kick off the week against the Padres, the pitching staff held it down — and did so […]
Braves: Hurston Waldrep experienced discomfort in latest start for Gwinnett
Pitching injuries have been a staple of the Atlanta Braves organization over the last several years, and it looks like they could be dealing with another major issue with one of their most promising young arms. Hurston Waldrep, who just rehabbed his way back from an elbow injury that required surgery to remove loose bodies, […]

Braves could be a match for one of the Athletics outfielders
According to Jon Morosi, the Athletics are listening to offers on some of their outfielders, with the hope of landing young starting pitching in return. MLB Trade Deadline note: The A’s have received inquiries on their MLB outfielders. (They have 5 on the active roster and Clarke on the IL.) The scenarios would involve the […]
What Alex Anthopoulos said about the Braves ahead of the deadline
Alex Anthopoulos is making his media rounds now two weeks away from what’s expected to be a very active trade deadline for the Atlanta Braves. As always, he’s never going to give too much away or talk explicitly about any specific deals, but Anthopoulos is typically a relatively straight shooter, and he didn’t hesitate to […]
Two starting pitchers set to return to Braves very soon
The Braves are set to gain a couple of reinforcements over the next couple of weeks in Martin Perez and AJ Smith-Shawver, as they continue searching for answers in their rotation. According to Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman, Perez will be back this week, set to start Wednesday against the Padres. Braves probables vs. Padres […]
Braves: Walt Weiss walks back comments on Spencer Schwellenbach
Over the weekend, Walt Weiss had some not-so-encouraging comments on Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach, suggesting it didn’t look likely either would return this season. Strider coming back still feels highly unlikely after yet another significant elbow injury, but Weiss walked back his comments on Schwellenbach, saying he’d gone to Florida over the All-Star break […]
Four very encouraging signs for the Braves offense as second half begins
It was a tough six or so weeks for the Braves as they limped into the second half, watching a once 10.5-game lead in the NL East shrink all the way down to just two games ahead of the Phillies. But some recent developments should have everybody feeling more confident that the second-half version of […]
Hawks double down on defense, trading Zaccharie Risacher for Lu Dort
It felt like it was coming after the way Zaccharie Risacher fell completely out of the Hawks rotation towards the end of his second season, but the team made it official on Sunday with a three-team trade, sending the 2024 #1 overall pick to Dallas in exchange for Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard. BREAKING: The […]
Report: Braves eyeing Freddy Peralta ahead of the trade deadline
According to Hector Gomez, the Braves, Rays, and Brewers are eying Mets starting pitcher Freddy Peralta ahead of the trade deadline — with Gomez calling Milwaukee the top suitor as of now.

Braves injury updates on Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider, and Spencer Schwellenbach
The Braves began the second half the right way, dropping 15 runs on the Rangers and pairing it with seven scoreless innings from Chris Sale, who is only going to hear more NL Cy Young buzz as the second half goes on. Everybody got in on the action offensively… literally. Drake Baldwin led the way […]
Ken Rosenthal throws cold water on Braves’ Tarik Skubal hopes
The American League is doing the Braves no favors when it comes to potential trade discussions. There are tons of talented teams well below .500 that should only be thinking about selling this time of year. But because everybody is underachieving, even teams 10 games under .500 sit only five games out of the final […]
Is there an untradable prospect in the Braves farm system?
The trade deadline may not be full of sellers, but the Braves have no choice but to be aggressive in trying to patch up some of their glaring holes. It’s a far more desperate position than we’ve seen the club in compared to previous years — one where they have a roster built to compete […]
Braves 2027 Schedule: Potential for a nightmare start exists
The Braves announced their 2027 schedule on Thursday, and the start might just spark some PTSD from a season ago. pic.twitter.com/ZoTf7Hf6Rm — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 16, 2026 The Braves are set to open with three games out west in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, a place that’s been a house of horrors for Atlanta […]
A nice sign for Ronald Acuña Jr. as he continues rehab assignment
Ronald Acuña Jr. made the third appearance of his rehab assignment on Thursday afternoon and had himself quite the day, mashing a grand slam and walking twice. Acuña is still playing in the Florida Complex League. Once the second half gets underway, we’ll likely see him move up to Gwinnett pretty quickly, but it’s evident […]

Braves Updated Top 10 Prospects Tate Southisene Eric Hartman Cam Caminiti Owen Murphy AJ Garcia Briggs McKenzie Kaiden McCarthy Jensen Hirschkorn John […]
Braves: Two obvious reunion candidates at the trade deadline
If there’s one thing everybody should know good and well by now from Alex Anthopoulos’ tenure with the Braves, it’s that he loves a good reunion. There are countless examples of guys leaving Atlanta only to return down the line, so it makes sense to run through a couple of former Braves who have a […]
