Latest news and updates about the Braves
I wrote this same piece last year and some of these names have already been making noise. Miguel Sime is a part of the Futures Game, Samuel Cozart is a potential first rounder next year after going to college instead of signing, and one of the honorable mentions (Cardell Thibodeaux) recently signed with the Braves […]
The Braves rotation hasn’t had many positive developments this season, and the latest injury to Martin Perez is yet another punch they must find a way to roll with; however, the version of AJ Smith-Shawver that should be returning soon is worth getting excited about. The 23-year-old is working his way back from Tommy John […]
The Braves fell to the Mets on Sunday afternoon in a thriller — one that started with a flurry of runs, went quiet for a stretch, and then exploded for 11 combined runs in the ninth inning alone. Martin Perez got the start for Atlanta, the latest twist in a wild ride through his 15th […]
(42-43) Gwinnett Stripers @ (37-49) Durham Bulls – POSTPONED (35-41) Columbus Clingstones 4, (46-35) Knoxville Smokies 5 Box Score After going ahead early, the Clingstones were unable to make a one run lead last – unfortunately due to some timely hitting by the Smokies in the games middle innings. Brett Sears got the start for […]
Pitchers from the Orioles and Braves lead the FAAB acquisition market from last week. The post Expert FAAB Review ’26: Week 15 appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
With Martín Pérez very likely heading to the IL after having injured his forearm getting hit with a comebacker and Carlos Carrasco also likely to receive yet another DFA, there’s a spot that’s available in Atlanta’s pitching staff at the moment. As it turns out, the Atlanta Braves may be turning to a rookie who […]
The Mets came into the Sunday game against the Braves mired in a serious funk. They had lost three straight games and twelve of the last fourteen games. They needed to turn it around, and given the state of their rotation, they had their best chance with Nolan McLean on the mound. They were facing […]
Behind a three-run first inning, it seemed the Braves were going to carry their Saturday momentum right into Sunday afternoon’s home game against the New York Mets. Then they were held scoreless for the next seven innings. Facing a seven-run deficit after the Mets posted a five-run top of the ninth, the bats awakened but […]
If you will allow me to put my armchair meteorologist hat on, I read an article somewhere about how this heat dome that’s been causing temperatures to skyrocket in recent days has been collapsing since Thursday. As such, that’s been causing enough of a disruption in the atmosphere to where thunderstorms are even more likely […]
The Braves have a plethora of areas they will be looking to upgrade ahead of the trade deadline, none more so than their starting rotation, which is desperate for a frontline starter to pair with Chris Sale. The good news? ESPN’s Buster Olney is confident that — even with fewer teams looking to sell — […]
Projected Mets vs. Braves start time and full rain delay and weather updates from Truist Park for the Sunday, July 5 game.
A strong end to the first half of the season would go a long way toward the Braves winning the NL East, because after the All-Star break, many improvements are going to be made to this roster. Most notably, Ronald Acuña Jr. is expected to rejoin the team once the second half begins. He’s been […]

With a right-handed starter on the mound for the New York Mets in Sunday’s 12:30 p.m. ET game, the Atlanta Braves unsurprisingly are pivoting back to a righty-focused batting order. Drake Baldwin is back in the leadoff spot after Mauricio Dubón led off Saturday night, dropping Dubón into the five-hole. Additionally, Dominic Smith gets the start at […]
9:10AM: The Mets officially announced Zuniga’s selection, and right-hander Joey Gerber was optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move. 8:41AM: The Mets will be selecting the contract of right-hander Guillo Zuniga prior to today’s game with the Braves, according to reporter Francys Romero. New York has an open space on its 40-man roster, so the […]
The action in the Atlanta Braves system on the 4th of July was nearly cut in half due to rain and power issues cancelling three of the seven games on the slate. Of the four games on the schedule to get played the Braves teams lost the first three, and needed a late inning comeback […]
Meet the Mets The Mets were clobbered by the Braves 14-3 in another all-around embarrassing effort on national television that included poor pitching, poor defense, and poor hitting. The Mets are now 17 games under .500 and have lost 12 of their last 14, as they continue to free fall, despite a managerial change. Choose […]
After a dismal June, July has started pretty well for the Atlanta Braves. The Braves have started the month with three wins in four games, clinching at least a split of their four-game series against the New York Mets with a 14-3 demolition Saturday night. But considering Atlanta lost six of its last seven series […]
Amid their series with the Mets, the Braves made a minor roster move. JR Ritchie is heading back to Gwinnett after tossing three scoreless innings in Saturday night’s win, with Carlos Carrasco taking his place on the active roster. The #Braves today selected RHP Carlos Carrasco to the major league roster after optioning RHP JR […]
The Braves announced that right-hander Carlos Carrasco has been selected to the active roster. Right-hander JR Ritchie was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in the corresponding move, and no further transactions were needed since Atlanta had an open spot on its 40-man roster. This is now the sixth time Atlanta has selected Carrasco’s minor league contract […]
The initial All-Star rosters were announced last night, and five Braves were included. Braves All-Stars Chris Sale Raisel Iglesias Matt Olson (Reserve) Drake Baldwin (Starter) Ozzie Albies (Starter) — For Chris Sale this will be his tenth All-Star appearance and third in a row with the Braves. His revival in Atlanta has been nothing short […]
The Braves smacked the Mets Saturday night for their second consecutive win behind home runs from Austin Riley, Eli White, Mike Yastrzemski, Michael Harris II, and Mauricio Dubon — a fitting way to cap off America’s 250th birthday. Before the game, however, they announced several critical roster moves. JR Ritchie was scratched from his start […]
By the time you read this, I’ll likely be on my way to Truist Park for today’s game with the Braves. During day games, I do enjoy some of their premium seating options. I’m not there but the food, but rather the air conditioning. On a hot day, Truist Park lets you know that its […]
Well the All-Star game selections were announced Saturday night and while these haven’t exactly been meritocratic, there were some funny ones (Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a 97 wRC+, for example). It’s a shame that Dylan Lee didn’t make the team, though there may be time yet as a replacement. Dylan is 6th in all of […]
Hopefully, you were celebrating Independence Day with family and friends by enjoying a cookout, watching fireworks, or doing just about anything but watching the New York Mets. The Atlanta Braves throttled the Mets 14-3 Saturday night in Atlanta, outplaying them in all facets in another ugly loss. New York’s lineup was its normal sleepy self […]
