Latest news and updates about the Braves
Although arguably the team’s three best prospects were not apart of the roster, the Atlanta Braves top prospects completed the third season of the Spring Breakout Series with an 8-3 win over the Yankees prospects on Saturday night, going up early and leading almost the whole way. Even with Didier Fuentes, JR Ritchie, and Cam […]
Braves infielder Tate Southisene’s 105.7-mph single to start off the evening was a precursor of what was in store for Kyle Carr and the Yankees. It was a pretty underwhelming performance for the New York prospects, dropping the Spring Breakout game by a final score of 8-3. For the first two innings, Carr found a […]
Youth is both the future and the present tonight. After seeing Cam Schlittler—a key 25-year-old pitcher for their current rotation—toss a strong outing against the Tigers this afternoon, the Yankees are back on the field for this Spring Breakout Game, facing the Braves. The Baby Bombers lineup will be led by shortstop George Lombard Jr., […]

The Braves have one of their final tune-ups of spring against the Red Sox and they are facing Garrett Crochet, who has had a fairly unimpressive spring. Still, the star pitcher who the Braves reportedly were interested in trading for should be a good test for the Braves’ bats. You can see the lineups here […]
The Braves have signed veterans Dominic Smith and Kyle Farmer to split contracts for the 2026, likely signaling they will be on the opening day roster to begin the season. The club announced the moves on Saturday morning as they made final preparations for the upcoming season, which kicks off on Friday. As Mark Bowman […]

It was reported Friday evening that the Atlanta Braves inked a minor league deal with first baseman Rowdy Tellez. The 31-year-old is set to enter his ninth MLB season. He split the 2025 campaign between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers, where he combined for a .228 batting average. In his career, Tellez owns a […]
After the conclusion of tonight’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jon Heyman reported that the Atlanta Braves have added veteran first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez on a minor league deal. The left-handed hitting Tellez is an eight-year big league veteran who has posted double-digit home runs in every season since 2019, outside of the COVID-shortened […]
Atlanta’s bats continued to make some noise here in the Grapefruit League as the Braves slugged their way to yet another win during spring training action. It took a while for the bats to get going but once they did, a couple of the Braves regular made their presence felt in a loud manner. Jorge […]
We got a night game again and seven days from now, we’ll be gearing up to see the Atlanta Braves playing in a game that actually counts. As far as tonight goes, there’s still a few more tune-ups to go before we can get rocking and rolling again. Ronald Acuña Jr. is officially back in […]

We’ve got some more news pertaining to Opening Day (which is officially a week away from today — excited yet?). Earlier today, we got word that Chris Sale would be the Opening Day starter for the Atlanta Braves in 2026 and now there’s a bit more clarity as to where you can watch the Braves […]
Andrew Painter made what is likely to be his last start of the spring on Wednesday when he finished four shutout innings against a Braves lineup that had numerous regulars. In total, Painter made three starts, pitched 7.2 innings, allowed three runs on six hits including a home run, and struck out five with only […]
The Braves have been killing it in Spring Training, but the roster still looks like it could use some upgrades. Some of those upgrades might even come courtesy of players still in other camps at the moment — provided the Braves find something they like. This hasn’t been a huge source of contribution in years […]
As expected, Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar will miss the entire 2026 season after his PED suspension was upheld following an appeal. The ban covers 162 games and also renders him ineligible for the postseason. Major League Baseball announced earlier this month that Profar tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. This marks his second violation, as […]
Didier Fuentes is doing his best to make his case for the Opening Day roster, as he is lighting up the radar gun and opposing hitters this spring. He has currently pitched 9.0 scoreless innings with 17(!!!) strikeouts and 0 walks, which is just preposterous stuff even in a small sample against varied levels of […]
It won’t be until mid-April that the Atlanta Braves face the Philadelphia Phillies again. What started as a pretty underwhelming showcase today with the Braves turned into a late win (3-2) as the lineup couldn’t manage a hit to get on the board until the bottom of the seventh inning where Michael Harris II hit […]
In nine days, the Royals will begin the regular season against the Braves in Atlanta. We have a fairly good idea which players will be in Matt Quatraro’s starting lineup, barring injury. Familiar names like Salvador Perez, Bobby Witt Jr., and Vinnie Pasquantino will lead an offense that looks to improve on last year’s performance. […]
With the Spring Breakout just three days away, the Atlanta Braves have announced the finalized version of the roster that will be a part of the exhibition. It was back on March 5th that the Braves announced the full 40 man roster so let’s take a look at those that made the cut and will […]
We already had this confirmed directly to us, but hey, have a very long press release: Basically, Brandon Gaudin and C.J. Nitkowski are coming back as the main booth lads, Jeff Francoeur will be there when he feels like it (a 30-game commitment), while Wiley Ballard and Paul Byrd will chip in from the sidelines. […]
Opening Day is a day of tradition. And it is starting to become a tradition that Cole Ragans starts on Opening Day for the Royals. Ragans was named the starter for the March 27 opener against the Braves in Atlanta, the third consecutive year he has been given the honor. Ragans was limited to just […]
The Atlanta Braves turned in mixed pitching performances on Tuesday, with Spencer Strider and Reynaldo López each partaking in spring festivities. In North Port, Strider faced a lineup full of Boston Red Sox minor leaguers. He threw five innings and surrendered a run. His fastball touched 96MPH, but he stayed around 93-95MPH. In Fort Myers, […]
The Atlanta Braves faced off against the Boston Red Sox as spring training is winding down with Reynaldo López taking the mound against arguably the best lineup he has faced since his injury. The Red Sox brought in most of their starters, and the Braves brought mostly hitters fighting for final bench spots. The Braves […]
The Atlanta Braves are in their final countdown of their excellent spring showing and Reynaldo López looks to continue his ramp up before hopefully being a key member of a Braves 2026 rebound. López has looked good this spring in his 9.0 innings pitched. He has only allowed six hits, and one earned run so […]
