Latest news and updates about the Braves
With six games on the docket there was plenty of action to examine on Wednesday, so let’s dive into it all. (38-37) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (44-32) Nashville Sounds 12 Box Score Despite leading this one 4-2 at one point, the Stripers bullpen faltered late as Gwinnett lost by a staggering 12-5 final on Tuesday. Drue […]
According to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal Constitution, AJ Smith-Shawver will begin his rehab assignment this Thursday. “The Braves’ right-handed pitcher is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment Thursday at the team’s spring training facility,” Bishop wrote. “Smith-Shawver will pitch two innings of a simulated game and throw between 35 to 40 pitches.” This […]
If you’re wondering why the Braves were relying on Carlos Carrasco to pitch not one but two innings in a one-run game Tuesday night, Walt Weiss said about half the bullpen was unavailable, including All-Star reliever Robert Suarez who is dealing with forearm tightness. Suarez will play catch today to see how he’s feeling, but […]
The early signs of Tuesday’s game were promising, as the Braves looked to bounce back from back-to-back losses. Rowdy Tellez got the club on the board with a two-run single in the second inning. Michael Harris II added on with a double — one of his three hits on the night — and Matt Olson […]
To set some context: the Braves have a 5.5-game lead in the division, playoff odds north of 96 percent, and MLB’s third-best record. They don’t need to chase wins. But, in the same vein, they didn’t need to chase wins in 2025 (although it wasn’t ever quite as comparable, as playoff odds dipped below 90 […]
Manny Machado delivered the decisive swing Tuesday night, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 7-6 extra-innings win over the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park. With the game tied 6-6 in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Padres’ seven-time All-Star lined a walk-off single to center field that scored automatic runner Jackson Merrill from […] The post Padres slugger Manny Machado walks off Braves with clutch hit appeared first on ClutchPoints .
A wild night at Petco Park was capped off by a walk-off single by way of Manny Machado as the Braves fell to the Padres, 7-6, in 10 innings. This is a bad baseball team at the moment. The second inning was a doozy for both sides. The Braves loaded the bases and cashed in […]
After another lifeless offensive performance in Monday’s series opener at San Diego, the Braves look to level the series and force a Wednesday rubber match in Tuesday night’s 9:40 p.m. EDT game at Petco Park. Atlanta turns to rookie JR Ritchie on the mound, while the Padres are expected to counter with Wandy Peralta as […]
As an offensive slump continues for the Braves, Tuesday’s lineup reflects a team trying a number of different things to try and figure things out in the second game of Atlanta’s series at the San Diego Padres. Michael Harris II, who hit fifth in each of his three games since returning from another brief absence […]
With the Atlanta Braves winning in exciting ways and piling up wins, it’s no surprise they have been linked with big names on the trade market. But they could also surprise with these three sneaky Braves’ 2026 MLB trade deadline targets to chase. More than any other club so far, the Braves have been the […] The post 3 sneaky Braves’ 2026 MLB trade deadline targets to chase appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The final West Coast trip of the season for the Braves started in brutal fashion Monday night in San Diego. The hot-and-cold offense which has been a lot more cold of late was at its coldest in the opener, stranding eight runners in a 1-0 loss to the Padres. The Braves will put JR Ritchie […]
The trade deadline is a little over a month away, and some of the Braves flaws are finally starting to show following a torrid start to the season, both with the pitching staff and the lineup. So, it should come as no surprise that when former GM Jim Bowden asked all 30 front offices their […]
Let’s start this off with some good news: If the Braves play straight-up mediocre .500 baseball from this point forward, they should still have enough wins to get them back into the Postseason. The fantastic level of form that they reached during late-March and throughout April and most of May has essentially ensured that the […]
For Alex Anthopoulos, contract extensions have to be on his mind regarding several current Braves. Ozzie Albies has just one more year left on his deal and is once again proving he’s one of the best second basemen in the game. The Braves aren’t going to find a better option, and he’s been a staple […]
The Braves are planning to get injured utilityman Kyle Farmer some reps behind the plate on his upcoming minor league rehab assignment, reports Mark Bowman of MLB.com. This won’t be Farmer’s first foray into catching — far from it, in fact. The 35-year-old infielder (36 in August) was drafted as a catcher and logged nearly […]
Michael King took the mound for the San Diego Padres who were opening a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park on Monday night. It must have been good to be home because King delivered his best start since May 18 when he completed seven innings without allowing a run to the Los […]
If the Braves want to win another World Series, they need to add a starting pitcher at the trade deadline. And not just any starting pitcher — a true frontline arm capable of winning a game by himself behind Chris Sale. Nobody fits that description better than Tarik Skubal, who most expect to be traded […]
This isn’t a “how do you feel about Dylan Dodd” post. It’s more about the Braves. Two buckets of facts, and then I’ll add a third. Bucket the first: in 2025, Dodd had an 85/94/83 line (ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-). That’s not a dominant reliever line, but it is a pretty good one. In 2026 so far, Dodd […]
If you stayed up until nearly 1:00 AM Eastern to watch the Braves try to pull out a win in San Diego, I apologize. But I was right there with you. Grant Holmes started the game, and it was a very Grant Holmes type of outing. He didn’t make it through five innings, largely due […]
While the product on the filed for the Braves is having some ups and downs at the moment, it appears many around baseball continue to think Atlanta is clearly a contender. And for some, the Braves are the contender that could make the most sense as the landing spot for coveted pitcher Tarik Skubal. While […]
The Braves offense was lifeless against Michael King and the San Diego bullpen on Monday night, losing 1-0 to drop their second game in a row. It was more of the same for Grant Holmes, who labored through 4 2/3 innings. He hung a slider to struggling Manny Machado in the fourth inning that was […]
The Braves’ deal for Mauricio Dubón has turned into one of the better trades of last offseason. Acquired from Houston in a one-for-one swap for defensive specialist Nick Allen, Dubón has played a valuable utility role for the NL East leaders. Dubón takes a league average .262/.316/.408 batting line into tonight’s series opener in San […]

The Braves brought catcher Sandy León back on a minor league contract, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He’ll report to Triple-A Gwinnett. León elected free agency after being designated for assignment last week. The Braves pushed him off the roster with the Joey Bart acquisition. León has gone 4-44 with 18 strikeouts and no walks at […]
The Atlanta Braves should be buyers, so will the Royce Lewis trade buzz get them interested? He hasn’t had a great season to date. Still, here is the Braves’ perfect trade offer for the Twins’ infielder. Things have been a little uneven for the Braves of late. Heading into Monday’s games, the Braves’ 3-7 record […] The post Braves’ perfect trade offer for Twins’ Royce Lewis appeared first on ClutchPoints .
