His last start was in the Giants’ 6-3 loss to […]
There is no way to sugarcoat it, the Atlanta Braves have struggled offensively this month. In fact, only three teams have scored fewer runs since the start of June. Of course, there are some excuses in terms of injuries, but the fact remains the same that the offense needs to get rolling again. This evening […]

The Braves have selected the contract of outfielder Brewer Hicklen, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The 40-man roster had a vacancy after catcher Austin Wynns was outrighted yesterday. Hicklen has been optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett and will not be immediately added to the active roster. It might seem odd to add a […]
(Note: Stats here through June 14, which only matters for comparing the Braves to other teams. In an ideal world, I’d either do this on the 16th, or during the day on the 14th, but we live in something very far from an ideal world.) Past summaries: I have a colleague that uses the word […]
To get back to .500, the Royals would have to win about 58 percent of their remaining games. The current list of teams playing at or above that rate includes the Dodgers, Braves, Yankees, Brewers, and Rays. Last season, only four teams finished the year above that level. Can the Royals be a top-five team […]
70 out of 162 games down, and it’s safe to say the 2026 Atlanta Braves (46-24) have been a much-needed balm after the last few years of underperformance. The injury bug and occasional offensive outages are still lingering, but the divisional cushion and current position atop MLB make it hard to complain. The first round […]
The Phils defeated the Marlins 7-0 at home on Monday night. They’re now 39-33 and 7.5 games behind the Braves. Gabriel Rincones Jr., called up after the Adolis Garcia injury, hit his first major league home run: I have to say I’m impressed with the casual home run pimpage and bat flip.

The Atlanta Braves moved to reinforce their pitching depth Monday night after Spencer Strider’s injury created a roster challenge for the club. Atlanta brought pitcher Carlos Carrasco back on a minor league contract, keeping a familiar veteran option available as the club works through rotation uncertainty.

The Braves have brought Carlos Carrasco and Maverick Handley back to the organization on minor league contracts, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Both players were dropped from the 40-man roster last week. Carrasco’s return felt inevitable, as he’s been on and off the roster all season. The only question was whether he’d sign a minor league […]
The 2026 Mets will happily burst your bubble. Coming off a weekend that saw them take two of three from the Braves, the Mets’ series opener against the Reds offered the opportunity to take another step forward. Instead, they fell behind 9-0 early, left an incredible number of runners on base in the middle innings, […]
