The San Diego Padres took plenty of momentum into their series opener against the Atlanta Braves after beating the Kansas City Royals, 19-2, on Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. The club fell short versus the Braves despite Manny Machado and Ty France slugging two solo shots against Atlanta. Multiple poor decisions by manager Craig […]
Ahead of tonight’s game against the San Diego Padres, the Braves have reinstated OF Mike Yastrzemski from the injured list. Prior to hitting the IL for some left forearm inflammation, Yaz had been stringing together a warmer month at the plate. He’d slashed .286/.400/.571 in 10 games in July, including a grand slam in the […]
The Braves announced that outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Infielder Kyle Farmer has been released as the corresponding move. He’ll become a free agent once he clears release waivers, if he hasn’t already. Farmer, 35, signed a minor league deal with Atlanta in the offseason. Due to his veteran […]
Alex Anthopoulos has been very busy talking to the media ahead of the Trade Deadline on August 3. That makes a lot of sense considering it’s getting closer and closer with each passing day and the Braves have some pretty clear spots that need to be addressed ahead of the deadline. We’ll talk more about […]
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, […]
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 […]
There are 62 games left in the 2026 MLB season for the San Diego Padres. They are one game under .500 and 2.5 games back of the last wild-card spot. The schedule features a road series with the Eastern division-leading Atlanta Braves followed by the Miami Marlins. The Marlins are in the race for the […]
The San Diego Padres are running out of time to save their season. They dropped their third game in four days with a 3-2 loss to open a four-game series with the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on Monday. The frustrating part was the Padres cobbled together seven hits, but both of their runs came […]
Victor Mederos has taken Braves Country by storm to start the second half of the season. The latest chapter in his growing legend was on Monday night, as he backed Bryce Elder’s excellent start with a 2 1/3 innings save. A mixture of high energy and velocity, Mederos has continued to look impressive in his […]
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 […]
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 […]
Joe Ryan has become one of the most sought-after arms on the trade market, and the Minnesota Twins face a franchise-altering decision on the right-hander ahead of the August 3 deadline. ESPN's Jeff Passan gave Ryan a 55 percent chance of being traded, listing the Cubs, Padres, Athletics, Diamondbacks, Braves, White Sox, Nationals, Blue Jays, and Cardinals among his best fits. The 30-year-old is having an outstanding season, previously sitting at a 2.85 ERA, before Monday's brutal outing, wit...
The Atlanta Braves started their four game series against the San Diego Padres in much need of revenge after being swept by the Padres just four weeks ago.

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.

The Braves have spent the bulk of the season in first place in the National League East, but a once-comfortable lead has dwindled to three games over the resurgent Phillies (six and eight over the upstart Marlins and Nationals, respectively). As their division rivals have improved their play in recent weeks, Atlanta has struggled both […]
The Royals have signed veteran lefty Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha. Bummer has appeared in 406 career MLB games with the White Sox and Braves with a 3.94 ERA. He was let go by Atlanta earlier this year after posting a 7.36 ERA in 19 games. Bummer […]
