Latest news and updates about the Braves
Tonight’s game at Citi Field has been postponed. In anticipation of rain in Flushing this evening, the Mets and Braves will now play a split doubleheader tomorrow, July 29. The first game will start at its previously scheduled time, 1:10 PM ET. Parking lots will open at 10:40 AM ET, and the gates will open […]
It’s approaching the six-week mark since Robert Suarez last appeared for the Braves after being placed on the IL with elbow and forearm inflammation. Further tests revealed no structural damage, and it felt like something that was just going to need a couple of weeks of rest before he was back throwing again. The fact that […]
Connor Thomas got thrown to the wolves on Monday night, and the Mets’ broadcast booth could barely stomach watching it happen. The Braves reliever was left in to twist against New York’s lineup long after the outcome had been decided, and by the time Atlanta finally mercy-killed the outing, Thomas had been shelled for 11…
The Braves need starting pitching. Why not Nathan Eovaldi of the Texas Rangers? Texas currently leads the AL West, so trading Eovaldi is unlikely. But he'd be a natural fit in Atlanta.
There are a ton of teams still teetering on the line of whether they’ll be buyers or sellers leading up to the trade deadline. None of them are garnering more attention than the Detroit Tigers, who just dropped their third game in a row on Monday night and are now six games back in the […]
Gone are the days of no international free agents making the list as three from this last period debut on the list, as well as a 2025 stand out. We also begin to see an influx of positional prospects throughout the list, as pitchers are no longer the dominant representatives on this list. Strong, projectable […]
Even though the Mets clobbered the Braves by 11 runs last night, they still sit 17.5 games back and are one of baseball’s for-sure sellers as Monday’s trade deadline approaches. But the Mets aren’t your typical sellers — they have a lot of valuable pieces that could attract any club, many of which should draw […]
Monday started off in a good way for Braves Country as Ronald Acuna Jr. returned from injury. However, it did not end well as the Braves lost in a big way to the Mets by the score of 14-3. While simply a loss to forget and move on from, the Braves need to get back […]
Meet the Mets The Mets had themselves quite the night in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves, crushing their rivals to the tune of 14-3. Zac Thornton continued his run of success with his fourth straight quality start, and the bats slugged four home runs—including two from Francisco Lindor. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, […]
The San Diego Padres starters’ ERA was at 4.69, 27th in baseball, going into the series against the Miami Marlins on July 24. The day before, in the last of the Atlanta Braves series, Griffin Canning had an opener (Kyle Hart) and still only lasted 2.2 innings after allowing five runs on five hits with […]
Once upon a time (although it wasn’t just once), the Braves used Carlos Carrasco in a close game. Ronald Acuña Jr. got injured in that game and ended up missing about six weeks of play. The use of Carrasco turned sinister, the Braves lost that game, and then ended up mired in a funk that lasted […]
The Mets started a new series against the Braves at Citi Field on Monday, after losing the weekend series to the Dodgers. The Braves had veteran Martín Pérez starting for them, while Mets rookie Zac Thornton was taking the mound in the midst of a great first season in the major leagues. The night started […]

He’s back, y’all. Yes, Ronald Acuña Jr. will return tonight after about a six-week layoff due to a hamstring injury. He recovers his leadoff spot, sliding Drake Baldwin down to second, and shunting Ozzie Albies into the cleanup spot. Seems like Albies maybe would’ve made more sense between Baldwin and Matt Olson, but oh well. […]
We are days away from things really starting to heat up ahead of the MLB trade deadline, with the Braves expected to be at the forefront of conversations surrounding most every player who comes available. There’s a lot of work to be done in Atlanta if this team wants to challenge the Dodgers come October, […]
The Braves are having fun. Mostly. Probably. They have a top five-ish record in the league both after the All-Star Break, and in July as a whole. No team has scored more runs in July, even though the Braves are just 15th in xwOBA for the month. They haven’t lost a series since the All-Star […]
According to Jesús Cano of The Athletic, there were several scouts from teams that could be looking to sell at this year’s trade deadline in Rome this weekend for a closer look at some of the Braves’ most talented prospects. “Scouts have flocked to Braves minor league affiliates,” Cano writes. “High-A Rome, which has the […]
Ever since the All-Star break ended, the Braves have faced off against AL West, NL West and AL East opposition. I hope y’all enjoyed the grand tour because it’s over now and the Braves will be staying in the NL East for the next few weeks. 13 of the next 16 games the Braves will […]
The Atlanta Braves have activated outfielder Ronald Acuña, Jr. ahead of tonight’s game against the New York Metropolitans. Atlanta’s star outfielder has been on the 10-IL since June 10 due to a left hamstring strain. Atlanta’s intentions of activating Acuña were initially reported by ESPN’s Buster Olney earlier today. In a corresponding move, the Braves […]
The Braves announced this morning that they have reinstated Ronald Acuña Jr. from the 10-day injured list. Buster Olney of ESPN reported the move a bit before the official announcement. Acuña has been out since early June due to a hamstring strain. Fellow outfielder Brewer Hicklen was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to open a spot […]
The second half of the season is bringing about some much more positive experiences. The Braves have won seven of their last ten games, stretching their lead in the NL East to 5.5 games over the Phillies, and now they’re getting their best player back. The #Braves today returned OF Ronald Acuña Jr. from his […]
Now years removed from international sanctions occurred during the John Coppolella era the Braves now boast quite a few international players that made loud names for themselves this season. That, along with being a lot more bold during the draft and it really does look like the Braves farm system of old with strong pitching […]
The New York Mets (44-62) welcome the Atlanta Braves (62-43) to Citi Field for a three game series that likely won’t have an impact on the National League East standings, but will likely have an impact on which players the Mets deal at the trade deadline. That is to say, this would be a really […]
The Braves are rolling (albeit in a bit of a strange way), and hey, this is the best news in a while: Ronald Acuña Jr. has been on the shelf since June 10. He hurt his hamstring trying to run out a grounder in the June 9 loss, which was the game that kind of started […]
