Division-winning Braves set to begin tune-ups as they welcome Reds to town
It’s tune-up time. The division is clinched, the chances of getting not-the-three seed in the NL are very low, and the Braves are presumably going to take it easy for their last two series before playoff action begins. For the first part of this week, they’ll host the Reds, and then complete the regular season […]
Gwinnett Stripers 2026 season recap
The Gwinnett Stripers season has come to a close, ending the minor league season in the Atlanta Braves organization. The Braves Triple-A affiliate has completed its season by going 76-73, one of just two out of the team’s six affiliates with a winning record in 2026. This article will highlight some of the successes and […]
What are you watching for as the Braves play out the string?
Well, the Braves are likely in “rest and get ready for a short playoff series” mode. They clinched the division, but they have a very, very low chance of getting a bye. So, these final six games, both against no-longer-contenders, are essentially just forced appearances on the calendar. That said, there are some things that […]
Braves News: Eric Hartman wins Braves MiLB Player of Year, Postseason Rotation, More
Monday was a well deserved off day for the Braves. However, there are still few games to be played and a few story lines to sort out as the postseason comes into focus. For one, it is still a really close race to determine who the Braves will actually play. The Braves also want to […]
Atlanta Braves off day chat and discussion: September 21
Welcome to the last off day of the 2026 regular season. I very much enjoyed putting a little Braves logo emoji status at work today as a nod to yesterday’s division-clinching win. Any similar displays? Let’s hear ‘em. Tonight’s Action With the NL East champs resting after sweeping and celebrating, there’s only three other games […]
Robert Suarez to be activated soon for Braves bullpen, per Alex Anthopoulos
All eyes have been on Robert Suarez, one of the Braves’ prized offseason additions, as he rehabs and recovers from an elbow ailment that has cost him the last three months of the season. Following his first rehab appearance with the Gwinnett Stripers on Sunday — which was Gwinnett’s final game of the season — […]
This is the weirdest Braves team I’ve seen
Before the 2026 season started, the Braves were projected to be good. Per FanGraphs, their central estimate Steamer-plus-ZiPS blend projection saw them in a virtual tie for the NL East crown with the Mets at 90 wins, with division odds of 36 percent, top-two-in-NL record odds of 29 percent, and overall playoff odds of 79 […]
Brett Sears Named Southern League All Star
Today Minor League Baseball has announced their post-season Double-A All Stars for each league, and one Atlanta Braves prospect was named to the team for the Southern League. That would be Brett Sears, who took one of the four starting pitcher spots, to be named just the second Clingstones player in history to be named […]
Braves’ division-clinching resiliency could pay off in Postseason
All the way back in March, there were still plenty of questions about this Atlanta Braves ballclub as the curtain was being raised on the 2026 season. Would the squad as a whole be able to get over the injury bug that hampered their 2024 season and then wrecked their 2025 season? Would the rotation […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Robert Suarez returns, David McCabe sizzles in season finale
(75-75) Indianapolis Indians 9, (76-73) Gwinnett Stripers 6 Box Score A furious late rally was undone with three runs in the ninth as the Stripers drop the season finale to the Indianapolis Indians 9-6. The Stripers ended the season with the bullpen game after the promotions of JR Ritchie, and Owen Murphy, and turned to […]
How should we score the preseason production predictions?
Okay, the Braves clinched the division. It felt like it was a long time coming at some point, and then they reeled off a sweep of the Astros in Houston, and here we are. That it happened without any kind of collapse is a testament to just how profoundly bizarre the 2026 Braves team is: […]
Braves News: Atlanta Clinches 2026 NL East Crown, Robert Suarez Returns to Mound, More
Once again, the Braves are the Beasts of the NL East. For the first time since 2023, the Braves have won the 2026 NL East Division. They clinched the division over the weekend with a convincing sweep of the Houston Astros, including another win via late game heroics on Sunday. While the Braves certainly have […]
Braves at Astros series recap: Space City sweep seals NL East title
Sometimes, it’s just good to take all the drama out of the picture as soon as you possibly can. That’s exactly what the Braves did this weekend in Houston, as they made another good memory for themselves at the building formerly known as Minute Maid Park. It started with a nice, bubbly glass of champagne […]
Braves clinch NL East title, as they complete a sweep in Houston
With a chance to secure the division title, the Braves had a challenging pitching matchup, with Martin Perez on the mound vs Hunter Brown and the Astros. Baserunners were scattered early, with a Baldwin walk leading off the game and an additional error in the top of the first, followed by three soft singles in […]

Days off abound for Atlanta, as the division is in grasp
Well the Braves have not formally won the NL East yet, but it seems a foregone conclusion, with a magic number of 1. With that being the case, it seems that Walt Weiss is already starting to give some days off, particularly on a getaway day in Houston with a series win in hand. Austin […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Davis Polo makes successful debut
On the next to last day of the minor league season the Atlanta Braves brought Davis Polo up to Triple-A to make his debut for the Stripers. After getting injured during the 2024 season, forcing him to miss the 2025 season, Polo opened the season and spent the majority of 2026 there – but his […]
Braves go for sweep in Houston behind Martin Perez
After the offense brought out some power to secure a series win Saturday and the Phillies struggling a bit, the Braves have a chance to secure the division title with a win or a Phillies’ loss on Sunday. Martin Perez will take the mound for Atlanta, with Hunter Brown his counterpart for Houston. Perez continues […]
Braves News: Robert Suarez, division on the brink, more
The Braves now have a magic number of 1 for the division title and it would take a collapse of truly epic proportions for them to lose the division at this point. While they do of course have to avoid that collapse, it’s fair to say that they can turn their eyes to the postseason […]
Ronald Acuña Jr.’s grand slam powers comeback victory as Braves take series in Houston
The magic number is 1. With tonight’s 6-3 win, the Braves have won the series, thrown a grenade into the crab bucket that is the AL West, and that NL East title is so close, you can almost taste the champagne. The Braves’ return to winning games with the longball has been a welcome sight. […]

Braves run same lineup against the Astros in potential postseason preview
There’s still work to do after last night’s tasteful champagne toast to celebrate a return to the postseason. Walt Weiss, no stranger to tinkering with a lineup formula, has maybe found what he likes most to face RHPs. He will run with the exact same lineup from last night’s 6-2 win versus the Astros, where […]
Braves seek series win in Houston with Holmes on the hill
With last night’s win, your Atlanta Braves earned their 90th dub of the season and punched their ticket for the postseason. They were the fifth team to clinch a playoff berth, following the Rays, Brewers, Dodgers, and Yankees. The job is not finished, however. The magic number is currently at three. Mets/Phillies starts at 4:10 […]
Robert Suarez set for rehab assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett
Fresh off of confirming their spot in this season’s Postseason, the Atlanta Braves got some more good news to put out there for the morning after. Reliever Robert Suarez is finally set to go on rehab assignment, as he’ll more-than-likely be making an appearance for the Gwinnett Stripers in their series finale on Sunday. Walt […]
Why not celebrate clinching the playoff appearance?
Your Atlanta Braves have made the playoff eight of the last nine seasons. However, 2025 was brutal. Hold me and let’s never go back to that. We learned a lot, er, maybe not really. We learned Joey Wentz still had something in the summer of 2025, but mostly we learned that a dry October is […]
