The Braves announced that left-hander Martín Pérez has been placed on the 15-day injured list with low back inflammation, a move that was previously reported. Right-hander Elieser Hernández has been selected to take his place on the roster. To open a 40-man spot for Hernández, righty Hurston Waldrep has been recalled and placed on the […]
It’s the home finale for the Atlanta Braves! Will Tyler Mahle make it another great start on the mound for the Braves? Will the home team send the home fans home happy for one last time before the Postseason gets under way? Let’s get into it, shall we? Also, join us on the app — […]
The Cincinnati Reds got a surprise early run off Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale to begin last night’s game at Truist Park, and lefty Andrew Abbott turned back the clock with a start worthy of his All Star status in 2025. Still, the Reds managed to lose said game in 10 innings after being successfully […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the Braves lineup and ultimately missed just one game after fouling a baseball off his knee during night’s contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Acuña is batting second in the order — sandwiched between Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson — and is playing in right field, an even more encouraging sign that he is feeling better after receiving treatment on his knee the last 36 hours. Here’s hoping Ronald continues to mash baseballs the way he was before exiting Tuesday’s game...
In some news that came out of nowhere ahead of the Braves series finale against the Reds, Martin Perez is heading to the IL with back inflammation. Braves lefty Martin Perez is going on the IL with lower back inflammation. — Gabe Burns (@GabeBurnsAJC) September 24, 2026 Walt Weiss added that Perez felt the pain […]
The Braves are going to place left-hander Martín Pérez on the 15-day injust list with lower back inflammation, per Jesús Cano of The Athletic. The corresponding move hasn’t yet been publicly reported. It’s an out-of-nowhere hit to Atlanta’s pitching staff, just before the start of the postseason. Pérez just pitched on Sunday and it didn’t […]
We received injury news from the Braves ahead of Walt Weiss’s usual pregame press conference this afternoon. Ronnie’s fine, but Martín Pérez is not. Perez only threw 79 pitches in his last start. There didn’t appear to be any signs of struggle, so perhaps this has been an issue for some time. Hey, at least […]

CHICAGO – Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara will not make his final start of the season this Saturday, manager Clayton McCullough announced. Get tickets for regular-season finale vs. Braves this Sunday – including Alumni Selfies! Before Marlins fans panic, this is not due to health concerns. The way McCullough explained it to Alcantara earlier in the week and to media members on Thursday, he considered the 31-year-old right-hander’s journey over the past 36 or so months. Alcantara, who leads the Maj...
It’s hard to believe, but today marks the final home game of the regular season for the Atlanta Braves. Where does the time go? For Atlanta, it will be trade deadline acquisition extraordinaire Tyler Mahle who makes his final tune up start of the season before (presumably) pitching game two of the National League Wild Card Round next week. Mahle has been incredible since the trade in early August, making eight starts with a 1.28 ERA, 2.85 FIP and 3.27 xFIP. He’s done a tremendous job of keepin...

Wednesday was an eventful day for Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale. Sale achieved his 9th 200-strikeout season in a 3-2 win over the Cincinatti Reds. However, it was bittersweet that it happened on the same day his former pitching coach Don Cooper passed away at the age of 70. After the game, Sale gave it […]

The Braves will host a three-game Wild Card Series next week. That much we know for certain, but their opponent still remains very much in the air — with the Padres, Phillies, Cubs, and Diamondbacks all jockeying for the final three spots in the National League. Arizona Diamondbacks (84-74) Remaining Games: (1) @Colorado, (3) @San […]
A 37-year-old Chris Sale threw yet another gem on Wednesday as he winds down yet another Cy Young finalist-grade season in Atlanta, striking out 10 Cincinnati Reds over 5⅔ innings of one-run ball in a game the Braves won 3-2 in 11 innings. That 10th strikeout gave him 200 on the year, so he joined…

After an extra-inning win vs. the Reds, Lindsay Crosby breaks down Atlanta’s alarming September split: a 41 WRC+ in the first five innings (worst in MLB by far) versus a 161 WRC+ in innings 7–9 (best in MLB). He explains why that late surge may not translate to October, evaluates potential Wild Card opponents’ offensive profiles, and argues the Braves’ biggest elimination risk is failing to score early. Crosby then proposes a Wild Card roster build with 14 position players and 12 pitchers, cla...
This was one of the weirder Braves seasons in recent memory. Coming off their first missed postseason since 2017, there were plenty of concerns about how this team would bounce back with a new manager after Brian Snitker decided to hang it up. Those concerns were only exacerbated by injuries to Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep, […]
The Braves added another walk-off win to their tally last night with a 3-2 victory over the Reds, and there were a slew of fun moments — but none more so than the return of Robert Suarez to major-league action. The All-Star reliever hadn’t pitched in a major-league game since the middle of June, and […]
It’s almost the end of the season, and while the Braves are safe from the mild insanity, it doesn’t mean it can’t take hold elsewhere. In the AL West, or really the AL Texas division at this point, both the Rangers and Astros are two games under .500 and tied atop the division. The loser probably won’t make the final AL Wild Card spot. (The Astros hold the tiebreaker.) It’d be funny if both teams lost out, leading to probably the worst team, record-wise, to ever receive a playoff spot in MLB. ...
The Cincinnati Reds visit the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. ET from Truist Park, Atlanta, GA. The Atlanta Braves enter Thursday’s game at 92-64, sitting atop the NL East, while the Cincinnati Reds arrive at 72-84 and fifth in the NL Central. Tyler Mahle takes the mound for Atlanta, opposed by Brady Singer for Cincinnati. The Reds have issued 649 walks this season, the most in MLB, a control problem that has put extra runners on base against a Braves lineup led by ...
