Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Jays shared some injury news today: Apparently it is raining in Atlanta.

Tonight’s lineup: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS BRAVES George Springer – DH Ronald Acuna […]
To say Ha-Seong Kim is struggling is an understatement. The Korean SS couldn’t play for his national team at the World Baseball Classic after tearing a tendon in his middle finger. He underwent surgery in January and missed four months. Kim spent the first four years of his MLB career with the San Diego Padres.

With a matchup of Bryce Elder vs Kevin Gausman on the mound in game 1 of the series against Toronto and of the two-series homestand, the Braves are once again rolling with Jorge Mateo over Ha-Seong Kim at shortstop. Mateo is the hot hand and has been legitimately very good for Atlanta this season, providing […]
The Braves announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Carlos Carrasco. The righty takes the 40-man spot that was opened when he himself was designated for assignment a few days ago.

The Jays finally got a day off after finishing 17 straight games with a 10-7 record. But back at it tonight, they are facing the team with the best record in all of baseball: Atlanta Braves. The Braves have gone 40-20 so far this season, burying their closest competitors at 9.5 games back out of […]
The 2026 Braves have been no stranger to superlative offensive performance. In April, Michael Harris II dumped an absurd .443 xwOBA on the league. While he massively underhit his inputs, Dominic Smith and Matt Olson posted near-.400 xwOBAs and above-.400 wOBAs. In May, it was a trio of Drake Baldwin, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Jorge Mateo […]
Many good things have contributed to the amazing start to the season for the Braves. One of the biggest factors is how well many of the depth position player signings and acquisitions have worked out for Atlanta, such as Dominic Smith and Jorge Mateo. But the best of all was the trade for Mauricio Dubon, […]

Carrasco has the right to […]
I hope everybody’s had a lovely Monday so far! The Braves aren’t alone in getting today to rest, as nearly half the league is off. If you want or need a baseball fix, there’s still plenty of college baseball going on over on the ESPN family of networks. Unfortunately for some of the locals (or […]
At first glance, it seems like good news that the Atlanta Braves won’t have to deal with Paul Skenes once the Pittsburgh Pirates come to town since he’s going to be pitching against the Astros during the midweek series. With that being said, the pitching matchups still figure to be pretty tough for the Braves […]
The Atlanta Braves are taking their MLB-best 40-20 record into a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. But before first pitch, the Braves announced a crucial pitching announcement.

Past summaries: How did the Braves do recently? The Braves went 9-6 in the second half of May. They went 9-4 in the first half of May, so it was kind of a dropoff. Really, it was a dropoff from what they did in April too… but given that this team probably wasn’t going to […]
The NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, who have acquired their 40th win on May 30th when it took them until July 9th last year, have made half an interesting active roster move on their off day. Anthony Molina has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. Molina was called up for the weekend series but never used. He […]
The Braves are 40-20. The numbers are real. The history is not on their side. The last team to sit at this exact record is the reason why.
Well, that’s another month in the books. It was a pretty good month; while the Braves didn’t play at a league-best rate (hi Brewers), they weren’t far behind, either. If you had to pick one Brave as the standout, however defined, who would you pick? Some food for thought… While Mike Yastrzemski didn’t have the […]
Yes, the Braves have lost a few Sunday games in a row after a 6-4 loss to the Reds yesterday. But the Braves won the series, and a big reason for that was once again the outfield duo of Michael Harris II and Ronald Acuna Jr. In fact, Acuna Jr. has had one of the […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Randy Hundley, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1961 – Braves rookie Joe Torre rounds first base after getting a hit to right field in the sixth inning, but the Pirates’ Roberto Clemente picks up the ball, fakes a throw to second and throws it so fast behind […]
Elly De La Cruz left the Reds’ 6-4 win over the Braves today due to what the club described as right hamstring tightness.
