Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves boosted their pitching depth on Tuesday by claiming a former Los Angeles Dodgers hurler. “The #Braves today also claimed RHP Michael Grove off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett,” the team announced. The move comes after the team placed Reynaldo Lopez on the IL and recalled […] The post Braves claim ex-Dodgers pitcher from Rays appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Atlanta Braves are having a memorable season. Despite their strong record, an investor is making the case that the team should be sold. That is Chris Colvin, a lifelong Atlanta fan who works with Breach Inlet Capital Management of South Carolina. The Braves declined comment after Colvin stated his case. There are specific reasons […] The post Braves decline comment after investor makes case for selling team appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Braves have maintained a stance for months that they believe Robert Suarez will be available for the playoffs. However, he hasn’t pitched in a game since mid-June, and the time for a potential rehab assignment has passed. The minor-league season ends this week, which means if Suarez is going to get some work in […]
The start of Atlanta’s series at the Chicago Cubs didn’t exactly go to plan. A short and ineffective Reynaldo López start ended with him going back on the injured list and dug the Braves an early hole. The offense showed fight late but couldn’t claw back into the game, resulting in a series-opening 7-3 loss. […]
The Braves announced Tuesday that they’ve claimed righty Michael Grove off waivers from the Rays. He’s been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta already had a 40-man spot open, so no additional moves are needed. Grove, 30 in December, was a second-round pick by the Dodgers back in 2018. He long ranked as one of the […]
J.R. Ritchie's return could help Atlanta position Chris Sale for the postseason.
Before I begin, I want to make it clear that I’m kidding about all of this. Mostly. Let me set the scene as to why I feel the Cubs ought to do a grand ceremony if Pete Crow-Armstrong happens to steal his 40th base of the season in the next two days, while the Atlanta […]
As I’ll do each week leading up to the postseason, it’s time for the second edition of predicting the Braves’ playoff roster. Typically, there’s not a ton of movement from week to week, but a couple of significant injuries to Reynaldo Lopez and Lane Thomas have really opened the door for several players who would […]
It’s that time of year again, folks. Sure, the Postseason is right around the corner and that’s exciting all but it’s also a fun time for keeping track of prospects as well. The Arizona Fall League will get underway on October 3 and there will be plenty of representation of the Atlanta Braves’ farm system […]
Joe Jimenez has a chance to be one of the best stories in baseball this season — even if it’s a long shot. After undergoing knee surgery following the 2024 season, there were real concerns about whether he would ever pitch again. He’s had several procedures on the same knee since in an attempt to […]
The Atlanta Braves officially placed right-handed pitcher Reynaldo Lopez on the injured list Tuesday, the team announced. The move comes following a difficult recent outing from Lopez. Meanwhile, right-handed pitcher JR Ritchie, who began the season as one of Atlanta’s top prospects, has been recalled to the big league ball club. “The #Braves today recalled […] The post Braves promote star pitching prospect after placing Reynaldo Lopez on IL appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Late last night, the news got out that Reynaldo López would be heading back to the IL with shoulder inflammation and that JR RItchie would be coming up as a result. Ritchie will reportedly be making the start on Wednesday, so none of these moves were particularly surprising when the Braves announced it. However, Atlanta […]

Sometimes Heroes and Goats doesn’t flow with the narrative of a game. This was a Pete Crow-Armstrong night. He had been in what amounts to a slump for him the last several games. Nothing extravagant, but when you have grown accustomed to him being one of the stars of every game, him being reduced to […]
September 15: López has indeed been placed on the injured list. Ritchie was recalled in the corresponding move. Atlanta also announced that reliever Joe Jiménez is reporting to Gwinnett for a rehab assignment — his first official game action since the 2024 postseason. It’s still a long shot that Jiménez will pitch his way into consideration […]
The Dodgers clinched their 14th straight playoff spot, tying the Braves' MLB record, without Shohei Ohtani or Roki Sasaki.

After Atlanta’s loss to the Cubs, Lindsay Crosby argues Ozzie Albies’ poor recent production and declining defense make him a lineup liability, especially batting cleanup, and urges a lineup change and longer-term second base planning. He breaks down Martín Pérez’s extreme home/road splits, suggesting more changeups vs lefties on the road. He also discusses Reynaldo López heading to the IL with recurring shoulder issues, diminished velocity, and uncertain future with the Braves amid broader ro...
Reynaldo Lopez got the start in yesterday’s series opener against the Cubs — just his second since returning from the IL — and it only took three innings before the game was totally out of hand. Chicago put up three in the second before adding a couple more in the third. Lopez was out of […]

Atlanta Braves Discussion I definitely want to see it come to fruition, maybe as part of the Braves bashing their arms for the next two days Sep 15, 2026, 1:00 PM UTC Not that I expected anyone to read it, but I did some fun research for yesterday’s game preview. Basically, the Cubs are currently first by a mile in position player fWAR, but dead last in pitching fWAR. This has never happened over a full season; the closest I found was bottom five-ish (and not even that close to the bottom) for...
Just when you think Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has gone into a slump — and he was 0-for-8 with three strikeouts Saturday and Sunday — he breaks out of it in a big way. PCA was 4-for-5 Monday against the Braves at Wrigley Field, including his 37th stolen base and 42nd home run of […]
The Braves lost to the Cubs 7-3 on Monday in Chicago. While the Braves did have a chance to make things interesting late, the game never really seemed that close. One bright spot was a solid outing in relief from A.J. Smith Shawver. However, the story of the game were the continued struggles of Reynaldo […]
The Cubs started their series with the Braves off on a positive note Monday night with a win. The home side charged out to a big lead, but there were some tense moments at Wrigley in the late innings when the bullpen had to escape a couple of jams to hang on. Chicago struck first … The post Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (9/14/26): Cubs 7, Braves 3 – Peterson Excellent in W appeared first on .
