Latest news and updates about the Braves
It seemed another Braves game was going to come down to the wire. Although they had led since the opening inning and saw that lead grow to 6-2 in the fourth inning, it was gradually chipped away until Atlanta was clinging to a 6-5 lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates entering the ninth inning. Mike Yastrzemski […]
The Atlanta Braves are among the teams pursuing Boston Red Sox right-hander Sonny Gray, and they may have a natural advantage in landing him. Per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic , the Braves are one of several rotation-needy clubs that have reached out to the Red Sox about Gray's availability, and Rosenthal noted Atlanta stands out as an intriguing match. Why the Braves Need Him Atlanta has stayed atop the NL East despite a staggering run of pitching injuries. The Braves ar...
Somehow, someway, there are only four games left in the first half of the 2026 Braves season. Time flies when you’re having fun (except for the whole last month-plus of it all). Anyway, the Braves, who have lost four straight rubber matches, look to end that skid at Pittsburgh on Thursday at 12:35 ET. Bryce […]
Thursday's Braves-Pirates game has been delayed due to rain.
Dylan Dodd just got the Atlanta Braves out of the fifth inning with a 6-4 lead against the Pittsburgh Pirates. As it turns out, the Braves will have to wait to either hold on to or add to their two-run lead in the rubber match as the tarp has been put on the field at […]
The Braves are among the many clubs that have reached out to the Red Sox about the possible availability of right-hander Sonny Gray, per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. Nothing is close to coming together at this time, and it’s not even fully clear Boston will end up selling ahead of the […]
The latest MLB rumors cover Corey Seager, the Atlanta Braves and the Kansas City Royals.
The Braves made a couple of notable roster moves on Thursday — one involving the major-league club, the other tied to one of their injured pitchers. Eli White has been activated from the paternity list, and in a corresponding move, José Azócar has been designated for assignment. The #Braves today reinstated OF Eli White from […]
Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, July 9, 2026, 12:35 p.m. ET The Pittsburgh Pirates are facing off against the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a three-game weekday set at PNC Park The Pirates are handing the ball off to Mitch Keller to close out the series. Keller pitched six innings in his last start […]
The Atlanta Braves, who lead the NL East despite themselves and their June performance, made a roster move before today’s day game versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves welcome back Eli White back to the active roster. Eli stepped away on Monday to handle family responsibilities and will hopefully returned with the fabled “dad power” […]
With several massive holes in their rotation, the Braves have no choice but to be aggressive in their pursuit of starting pitching leading up to the trade deadline. They’ve already been linked to Tarik Skubal, and now Ken Rosenthal is reporting that they covet veteran Sonny Gray as well. “The Atlanta Braves are one of […]
There aren’t sweeping changes to the Braves’ lineup for Thursday afternoon’s series finale at the Pittsburgh Pirates. In fact, the top five hitters in the lineup are exactly the same as from Wednesday’s 3-0 win. But one non-change is a historic accomplishment. Matt Olson, batting third and playing first base, will appear in his 740th […]
For much of the first half, Eric Hartman and Tate Southisene grabbed all the headlines on the farm — and for good reason. Hartman is making history just a couple of years after being drafted in the 20th round. He secured a 20/30 first half, vaulting himself from unranked all the way to the 25th-best […]
The Braves announced Thursday that outfielder José Azócar has been designated for assignment. His roster spot goes to fellow righty-swinging outfielder Eli White, who has been reinstated from the paternity list. Azócar, 30, was only selected to the 40-man roster Monday when White went on the paternity list. He went hitless in two plate appearances […]
Since completing their home sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates in early June, the Atlanta Braves are 8-17, winning exactly one series over that span. But they can change that tune Thursday afternoon, somewhat fittingly against the Pirates. After a beatdown loss in Game 1 and a late scoring surge in a shutout win in Game […]
I think about the 2023 Texas Rangers a lot. (Wait, isn’t this daily question post supposed to be about the Marlins? Yes, bear with me.) Not because they won the World Series. (Did they win the World Series? I have no idea.) But because of this: So, it was kind of a weird double-whammy. They […]
Looking to snap a three-game skid, the Braves sent Grant Holmes to the mound against Jared Jones — a matchup that turned into an unexpected duel between two arms who haven’t exactly had All-Star caliber 2026 campaigns. Jones came in having made just eight starts on the season after returning from injury, and across those […]
With less than one month until the trade deadline, the silly season of rumors are starting to swirl and while some of those “extrapolations” are purely for the views, this report by Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic hypothesizes that if the Boston Red Sox decide to sell, starting pitcher Sonny Gray would […]
Since this is my last pre-draft article, I’ll take a minute to discuss what I’d like to see in the Braves’ upcoming draft class. The franchise has a huge opportunity to add talent this weekend, picking in the top 10 and again at 26, thanks to Drake Baldwin’s Prospect Promotion Incentive pick for winning NL […]
The Orioles announced that catcher Chadwick Tromp accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. Baltimore designated him for assignment last week. Tromp was only on the MLB roster for a couple weeks. He drew one start and went 2-3 with an RBI. Tromp also played in 12 games for the Braves earlier in the season and […]
Despite getting completely and totally blanked for the first six innings of this contest, the Atlanta Braves eventually broke through and ended up pulling off a 3-0 victory in an excellent pitching performance from Grant Holmes and Atlanta’s bullpen. It would be an understatement to call this one a pitchers’ duel, as both starters were […]
Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes had his quality start in Tuesday's win over the Atlanta Braves overshadowed by Ryan O'Hearn's record-setting day, and he jokingly called out his teammate.
The last six weeks have completely erased all the good the Braves did over the first two months of the season. A 10.5-game lead has withered to just 2.0 — and it could be gone entirely by the time the All-Star break arrives. But the NL East isn’t just a two-man race between the Braves […]
After the Atlanta Braves got nearly single-handedly bombed by Ryan O’Hearn, the Braves have now lost at least three-straight games on five different occasions since the start of June. They’re currently going in the wrong direction but they have no choice but to push forward as they look to avoid dropping a series against the […]
It was another night to forget for the Braves on Tuesday, as the pitching staff surrendered 12 runs over just eight innings. The problems began with Hurston Waldrep, who was responsible for seven of them, but continued with Connor Thomas, who was making his season debut for the Braves. He ate innings in a game […]
