Ken Rosenthal on a Braves potential contract extension with Ronald Acuña Jr.
After another injury-riddled campaign, Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is playing a lot more like the 2023 NL MVP version of himself. He had seven hits over the weekend against the Phillies, including two home runs, and is now hitting .459 over his last ten games with an OPS north of 1.200. The fastball, […]
Falcons name the starting quarterback, but the situation remains as cloudy as ever
The Falcons became the last team to name their starting quarterback for Week 1 on Monday, handing the job to Tua Tagovailoa over Michael Penix Jr. Tua Tagovailoa has been named starting quarterback for Week 1https://t.co/67barjCycW pic.twitter.com/l9QwpkUZOA — Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) September 7, 2026 Over a month ago, this looked like the only feasible scenario […]
3 Takeaways from the Braves biggest series of the season against Phillies
The Braves wrapped up by far their most pivotal series of the season on Monday afternoon with a disappointing 1-0 loss that was perfectly pitched by both sides and ultimately decided by one swing of the bat late in the game. Braves Hold Serve That was basically the story of the entire series. It was […]
Braves shuffle up rotation ahead of series with Phillies
The Braves begin a four-game set with the Phillies on Friday, and originally these were the starting pitching matchups. Braves-Phillies Probables Friday: Chris Sale vs. Cristopher Sanchez Saturday: Martin Perez vs. Zack Wheeler Sunday: Tyler Mahle vs. Aaron Nola Monday: Bryce Elder vs. Jesus Luzardo — However, it has since been announced that Grant Holmes […]
Falcons welcome pivotal defensive player back to practice
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Falcons’ initial 53-man roster was the inclusion of Billy Bowman Jr. The second-year cornerback suffered a torn Achilles during his promising rookie campaign, and it seemed likely that he would begin this season on the IR. That doesn’t appear to be the case based on the Falcons’ […]
ESPN and MLB.com praise Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos for trade deadline
Earlier in the week, The Athletic went back and re-graded every team’s trade deadline moves, with the Braves getting an A grade for their work. “Under president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos, the Braves eschewed the all-in move, instead upgrading around the margins by adding Tyler Mahle, Lane Thomas and Brent Suter,” Johnny Flores Jr. […]
Predicting ETAs for each of the Braves top 10 prospects
The Braves have produced more young talent over the last decade than any other organization. Keeping it all healthy has been a bit of a different story, but when it comes to getting young guys ready for the majors, few clubs can even compare. That’s something that should make the next few years incredibly exhilarating. […]
ESPN’s bold prediction for the Falcons is not very bold
Dan Graziano of ESPN just typed up 32 bold predictions — one for each team. But to call his prediction for the Falcons bold is insulting to the word bold. In it, he says we shouldn’t be surprised if Atlanta is back in the market for a quarterback this offseason. “There’s still time for Michael […]
Braves and Phillies probables
With a Braves win and a Phillies loss Wednesday, Atlanta’s lead in the NL East is back up to 4.0 games. None of that really matters, though, as the two sides travel to Philadelphia for a four-game series that will ultimately decide just how sweaty the final month is going to be for both fan […]
Baseball’s most unlikely duo carries the Braves into Philadelphia
The Braves did something Wednesday afternoon they haven’t done in a long time — score more than six runs. You have to go all the way back to August 6th against the Marlins to find the last time that happened, which is even more remarkable considering they won seven straight games at one point during […]
Ian Cunningham on Falcons QB competition, Gervon Dexter trade
Practice is closed off to the media this week as the Falcons prepare for their Week 1 matchup with the Steelers, but general manager Ian Cunningham did make an appearance to discuss the ongoing quarterback competition and the trade for Gervon Dexter Sr. As we sit here less than two weeks from the first snap […]
Falcons make several notable roster moves as Week 1 looms
The Falcons made several notable roster moves on Wednesday. Zach Harrison is back after clearing waivers. He’s been added to the practice squad along with Khalid Kareem and Jammie Robinson. In corresponding moves, Cameron Sample and Cobee Bryant have been released from the practice squad. We have made the following roster moves: – Signed Khalid […]
Braves make several roster moves amid series with Nationals
Amid their series with the Nationals, the Braves announced several roster moves. Blake Burkhalter, who made his MLB debut last night, has been optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett. In his place, Elieser Hernández joins the active roster, and to make room on the 40-man, the Braves have designated Hayden Harris for assignment. The #Braves today […]
Ha-Seong Kim might be earning his way back into the Braves lineup
It was an all-around ugly performance from the Braves yesterday. AJ Smith-Shawver was below average. Blake Burkhalter, making his MLB debut, didn’t look like someone who should garner much trust moving forward. And the top of the Braves’ lineup faltered multiple times with runners in scoring position. If there was one positive, it’s that Ha-Seong […]
Can the Braves really trust AJ Smith-Shawver right now?
Nobody is experiencing the highs and lows of baseball right now quite like the Atlanta Braves. They began August with an eight-game win streak — the longest of their season — then followed it with one of their most dismal two-week stretches of the year, before rattling off seven wins in a row. Now they’ve […]
The Falcons set a franchise sack record. Then they dismantled the group that did it.
For about two decades, the Falcons seemingly forgot it was okay to hit the quarterback. They rarely invested in their defensive front, and the result was an anemic pass rush that likely cost Matt Ryan a couple of Super Bowls. Finally, in 2025, that changed. The Falcons spent not one but two first-round picks on […]
The Athletic re-grades the Braves’ trade deadline
The Athletic just released its weekly power rankings, with the Braves coming in tied for second alongside the Los Angeles Dodgers. I think that’s cheating, and I’m going to keep rolling my eyes considering Atlanta just swept the Dodgers and both teams entered the week with identical records. It’s probably okay to give the Braves […]
Who has been the Braves’ best under the radar gem in 2026?
The Braves have never been a team that spends massively in the offseason, and when they do fork out some real change, the results have been middling at best. This past winter was a prime example. Robert Suarez certainly pitched like he’d earned the $45 million contract the Braves handed him before injuries derailed his […]
Braves injury updates on Reynaldo Lopez and Joe Jimenez
Along with the injury update we received on Robert Suarez yesterday, there were also some minor updates on Joe Jimenez and Reynaldo Lopez. Let’s start with the man we haven’t seen pitch in a major-league game since 2024. Joe Jimenez has had a plethora of procedures on his knee, and there have been several points […]
Dylan Lee has a theory on why he’s suddenly struggling considerably
In the first half of the season, Dylan Lee was arguably the most valuable non-closer in all of baseball. Walt Weiss had no problem turning to him in high-leverage situations nightly, and he almost always delivered without breaking a sweat. 2026 First Half Dylan Lee: 44 appearances, 43 innings, 1.47 ERA, 0.651 WHIP, 11.1 K/9 […]
Falcons place JD Bertrand on Injured Reserve
The Falcons may have released an initial 53-man roster on Sunday, but there are a ton of moving pieces still coming together as they prepare for Week 1. That process continued Monday, with Atlanta picking up three players via the waiver wire. To make room, the Falcons had to waive three of their own — […]
Atlanta Falcons announce 15-man practice squad
The Falcons had a few surprising cuts when they announced their initial 53-man roster on Sunday, but most of the names fans hoped to see have been added to the team’s practice squad. Atlanta Falcons Practice Squad DT Carlos Allen Jr. WR Vinny Anthony II OL James Brockermeyer CB Cobee Bryant OL Kam Dewberry WR […]
Report: Robert Suarez could rejoin the Braves soon
One of the biggest developments over the final month for the Braves won’t take place on the field. It involves the continued rehabilitation of Robert Suarez and getting him primed for October. That’s been the plan for a while now, and the All-Star reliever is set to take a giant step in the right direction […]
Falcons announce shocking decision to release Zach Harrison
After adding three players via waivers, the Atlanta Falcons announced they have waived 2023 third-round pick Zach Harrison, along with Natrone Brooks and Jammie Robinson. We have made the following roster moves: – Claimed Yasir Abdullah, Jared Ivey and Cameron Williams off waivers – Waived Natrone Brooks, Zach Harrison and Jammie Robinsonhttps://t.co/aT6WRiYY9j pic.twitter.com/nr7MSWBqre — Atlanta […]
Exciting prospect Blake Burkhalter among Braves’ September call ups
The Braves’ roster will expand to 28 players tomorrow, allowing the club to add one pitcher and one position player. According to Grant McAuley, those players will be prospect reliever Blake Burkhalter and veteran Kyle Farmer. Blake Burkhalter is one of the #Braves two September call-ups. Kyle Farmer is the other. Burkhalter, who turns 26 […]
