Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves will visit BayCare Ballpark on Sunday afternoon for some Grapefruit League action. Taijuan Walker will be the first pitcher for the Phillies, fresh off his stint with the Mexican team in the WBC. The Braves are expected to start with lefthander Jose Suarez. Game time is 1:05 and will be televised locally […]
For a team with talent like the Braves have, Spring Training should be about only two things. One, staying healthy and two, letting the prospects shine for the entire organization. The numbers that the starters put up should be thrown away. Also, the 14-5 record should be ignored as well. But some of the starters […]
Well the pitching has been an injury mess this spring, but it must be said that in general, pretty much everyone who has stayed healthy on the pitching and hitting side have performed at or above expectation so far. If this team’s offense can really get going again and the bullpen is elite as it […]
Today was a lot better for Bryce Elder as far as results during spring training are concerned. Elder had a successful ramp-up during against the Red Sox and bounced back from a rough outing during his last appearance as the Braves continued to get ready for regular season action. For all the grief that we […]
It’s time for more Bryce Elder, folks! I know you’re amped up to see it and I’m certainly amped up to talk about it. Yep, I totally mean that with all sincerity. In all seriousness though, let’s hope that we see Elder show some improvement after his last outing was a bit of a mess. […]
Didier Fuentes announced his presence with authority yesterday. It’s only Spring Training, but a 5/0 K/BB ratio will get you noticed. Watch this 98.7 MPH fastball yesterday. Now pair that with this sweeper. Didier definitely showed off the goods yesterday against the Yankees road lineup. It’s definitely enough to get him involved in the Braves’ […]
The Atlanta Braves continued to trim down the roster on Friday, with John Gil and Tayler Scott being the next victims. After these two were reassigned to minor league camp, the Atlanta roster stands at 47. Infielder Gil appeared in 17 games this spring, where he hit .158. He spent most of his time at […]
Happy Friday, all! The Yankees played earlier today in spring training against the Braves, but a few other Yankees are actually playing tonight. And since the World Baseball Classic is now in the knockout stage, how about we have a game thread for tonight’s two contests? First up is the Dominican Republic, who looked an […]
A rough first inning cost Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers dearly, as he surrendered four runs in that opening frame in the Bombers’ 7-6 loss at the hands of the Atlanta Braves on Friday afternoon at CoolToday Park in North Port. Things did get interesting in the ninth, though. Atlanta got to the last inning up […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the New York Yankees faced off in Northport for a spring training in which Didier Fuentes took the mound in hopes of proving he is ready for a rotation spot. The game started off with a bang for the Braves. Didier Fuentes looked like seasoned veteran with a 1-2-3 inning […]
Not that it really matters, but the New York Yankees are tied for the Grapefruit League lead with a 13-6 record after beating the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. On Friday, they will visit the Atlanta Braves in North Port, with left-hander Ryan Weathers looking to bounce back after putting up a stinker the last time […]
Spring Training is now in full swing and the Atlanta Braves have already made several moves to shape up what their opening day lineup is going to be. One area that is not certain is who will shape up the back end of the rotation to start the year. Didier Fuentes is one of the […]
Jeez, how did I get the relief pitching assignment? You know about me and relievers, right? The thing with this series is that we’ve theoretically gone through “who the Braves have at their disposal this year” and “how those guys are gonna do.” For relievers, though? That’s the place where the mid-March answers to those […]
The Atlanta Braves continued spring play on Thursday, losing 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite the score, it was a fantastic day for Grant Holmes, who got the start and turned in a lights-out performance. Holmes threw five hitless innings, striking out nine and walking just one Pirate. This run continues a productive spring training […]
We’ve got ourselves a rare night game in spring training, folks! This time, the Braves are on the road in Bradenton to take on the Pirates. As you are smart to expect from a road game during spring training, the Braves have sent a group mostly consisting of organizational depth for this one. There are […]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Atlanta Braves, March 12, 2026, 6:05 p.m. ET Location: LECOM Park, Bradenton, FL How to Listen: KDKA-FM 93.7 The Pittsburgh Pirates are at home against the Atlanta Braves, where they will try and pick up another win in the Grapefruit League. Please remember our Game Day thread guidelines. BD community, this is […]
We’re in an era of sports hot takes. Want to yell about sports on TV (or for you younger folks, on social media), have a hot take! But some hot takes have the benefit of being true. We’re still a few weeks from the Royals season opener against the Braves. Do you have a different […]
Jacob Webb is another well-traveled veteran reliever, having had stops with the Braves, Angels, Orioles, Rangers, and now the Cubs. He’s 32 years old, was drafted by Atlanta in the 18th round in 2014, and has been pretty dependable, throwing to ERAs in the threes for the most part. He walks a few more people […]
Let’s just get this right out of the way right out of the gate: As long as all five Opening Day starters don’t hit the 60-Day IL at some point during this season like they did during the 2025 season, this rotation should be fine and will be improved over what we saw last season. […]
Wednesday’s three games wrapped up the pool play portion of the WBC, and hurtled us towards the knockout round. Here’s what happened, and how the first knockout round looks like. If you’re only here to read about the Braves, well: Canada 7, Cuba 2. It was a changing of the guard in this only-winner-advances game, […]
Well, perhaps the two most impressive Atlanta relievers of Spring Training have now been sent to minor league camp, in Hayden Harris and James Karinchak. It seems likely that both will appear in Atlanta this year, assuming Karinchak sticks around long enough to do so as a veteran. They have each been strikeout machines this […]
Earlier today, we received some massive news regarding the Atlanta Braves and the new Braves.TV platform. Shortly after that news broke, we got some more important news on where to watch the Braves during the upcoming season. While the lion’s share of games will be on BravesVision, they also have to make room for nationally […]
At the top line, Spencer Strider looked really good on Wednesday afternoon: four innings, one walk, five strikeouts. When you consider that it was a visiting Rays team, maybe that’s more akin to something expected, but… I thought that this was a nice outing for him. When Strider returned from injury last year, my amateur […]
The life of a baseball prospect is defined primarily in small moments. Over the course of long seasons across multiple years it’s rare to feel that any stand out, or that any stretch of play is particularly pivotal in a player’s progression. However, every year there are some you can point to and see as […]
Now that we are just over two weeks away from Opening Day for the 2026 MLB season, it is time to start picturing what the Atlanta Braves roster could look like. That also includes factoring in which of the Braves prospects have a real chance to reach Atlanta this year, as things stand today, and […]
