Ah, jeez. The frustrations continue for Ronald Acuña Jr. and his wheels, as he had to exit Tuesday’s game against the Chicago White Sox with an apparent lower leg injury. With one out in the top of the fourth inning, Acuña hit a ground ball deep to the left side of the infield. Chicago third […]
The Atlanta Braves are hit with concerning injury news, with star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. leaving Tuesday night’s contest against the Chicago White Sox with an apparent lower-body issue.

The Chicago White Sox continued their youth movement when they called up one of their top prospects in Braden Montgomery. He made sure to end his MLB debut in style.

The Atlanta Braves started a series against the Chicago White Sox after a 5-1 run at home where they took two of three from the reigning AL champ Blue Jays and swept the Pirates who at the time had scored the fourth most runs in MLB. This matchup was going to be fun because it […]
The Atlanta Braves will be facing the White Sox who will be using Brandon Eisert who is supposed to be followed by former Atlanta Braves pitcher Erick Fedde. Don’t remember Fedde? He would probably like it to stay that way. Those 23.1 innings were some of the worst of his career when he posted a […]
Looking to move on from a disappointing series loss in Philadelphia, the White Sox (34-31) return to Chicago for a tough six-game home stand against both the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers — two of the top three teams in MLB. First up is Atlanta (45-21), which has been a standout since the […]
The Atlanta Braves played a top four offense in runs per game in their series and this series they get a top seven team in the Chicago White Sox. The Atlanta Braves offense has taken a few blows in terms injuries with Drake Baldwin, Sean Murphy, and Michael Harris all missing time, but since the […]
The future keeps arriving on the South Side. Prior to Tuesday night’s series opener, before the Braves roll in, the White Sox officially selected the contract of Braden Montgomery from Triple-A Charlotte. One of the most hyped call-ups of this whole rebuild is now, at last, real. Montgomery, No. 2 in Chicago’s system and No. […]
Atlanta and Chicago are at different points in their contention cycles, but both should be looking to upgrade this summer.

On April 26, the Phillies lost to the Atlanta Braves, 6-2. The lonely two runs scored by the team were thanks to a home run by Kyle Schwarber, but it felt like an exercise in futility. Aaron Nola had given up six runs in the initial two innings of the game, a game that was […]
You’ve certainly got choices in what’s turning out to be a weird (weird good and/or weird bad) season for quite a few teams so far. You can even pick the Braves, especially if you were pessimistic about their chances — though the projections weren’t, so that would be a very personal-adjustment-over-baseline-expectations take. The reason why […]
Mark Bowman of MLB.com tackled the subject that has grown more popular over the past few weeks: a potential trade of Tarik Skubal by the struggling Detroit Tigers. For the Braves specifically, Bowman concluded that while the Braves would obviously love to acquire Skubal, the high prospect cost for a rental likely does not make […]
Catcher Chadwick Tromp elected free agency over the weekend, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He was designated for assignment by the Braves on Thursday when they acquired Austin Wynns in a minor trade with the Angels. Tromp spent a couple weeks on Atlanta’s active roster. He was called up in mid-May when Drake Baldwin went on the […]
Good evening, folks! I hope everybody’s had a lovely start to their day. The Braves may not be in action but sometimes it’s just nice to take some time to look at the standings and relax a bit. Things are looking good for the Braves and days like this are nice to just take it […]
The Atlanta Braves have been rolling right along of late, currently sitting with the best record in the MLB at 45-21 after a sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. The Braves’ pitching staff has more than held down the fort so far this season despite a slew of injuries, with some key players […] The post Reporter mentions 6 starters Braves should pursue in addition to Tarik Skubal appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Atlanta Braves are going to be buyers before the MLB trade deadline. They have been the best team in baseball this season, and Atlanta will surely look to further upgrade its roster. With that being said, the Braves may look to trade more than only prospects. Mark Bowman of MLB.com recently mentioned shortstop Ha-Seong […] The post Braves rumors: Shortstop mentioned as trade candidate before deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
If you had told me back in March that during the week where the Atlanta Braves are scheduled to play the Chicago White Sox and the New York Mets that the White Sox would be a bigger (and legitimate) threat against the Braves, I would’ve laughed in your face and/or rejoiced in the fact that […]
When Michael Harris II pulled off another heroic feat in hitting a game-winning pinch-hit double yesterday afternoon, I remarked that it felt pretty unfair to just be able to plop in a guy having one of the better offensive performances in MLB in lieu of Sandy Leon in a key spot. That also brought to […]
Sunday was an extra fun day for the Braves. Heroics from Michael Harris II played a huge part in the Braves 3-2 victory very over the Pirates. This resulted in a sweep of the Pirates, which is notable as the Pirates look to be a playoff contender. Timely hitting and excellent bullpen work continue to […]

I mentioned in the series recap for the Toronto Blue Jays series that the relative lack of sweeps for the Atlanta Braves in the midst of this excellent season so far was the definition of complaining about first-world problems as far as baseball was concerned. It’s difficult to complain about anything when Atlanta has both […]
Good afternoon, folks! How’s the first week of June treating you? So far, so good for the Braves. Having been to three (3) games this week, I can confirm it’s getting to be hot and humid in a way that home run balls particularly like. To my inexpert eye in the upper deck, it looked […]
Sunday series sweep or same old story? To be clear, winning 18 out of 21 series this season is absolutely remarkable. Historical feats left and right for a team that isn’t fully healthy or all-the-way clicking yet. We love it! For only two of those series wins being sweeps is just interesting. Our poor brooms, […]
On a Friday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates lost 6-3 to the Atlanta Braves on the road. With that loss, a new issue is opening up for the team, and the issue is starting pitcher Mitch Keller. Keller started the game, and he went 4.2 innings allowing seven hits, six earned runs and walking three batters. […]
