Braves activate Reynaldo López, call up Bailey Falter, place Bryce Elder on IL and DFA Elieser Hernández
Ahead of Wednesday’s middle game between the Atlanta Braves and the Tampa Bay Rays, the Braves made official one move that had already been known ahead of time and made another move that could add a very interesting wrinkle to their bullpen here in the home stretch.

Braves Minor League Recap: Davis Polo Dominant in Double-A Debut
Davis Polo was a fringe prospect at best heading into this season, but with a blistering end to the year he has turned into one of the surprise breakouts of the second half. Polo marched into his Double-A debut and didn’t allow a hit until the sixth inning, while striking out 17 hitters on the […]
Where will the Braves finish in team homers?
A throwaway today, but I can at least provide some interesting-ish context. The Braves were third in homers through April, and pushed up to second in May. Then June happened and June was June, and the Braves fell all the way down to 12th. Their July homer binge, driven in part by so many pulled […]

Braves outshined by Rays’ stars in series-opening loss
Kicking off a critical late-season homestand Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, a breakthrough performance from AJ Smith-Shawver on the mound or a strong performance from its star hitters could have been enough to deliver the Atlanta Braves a tone-setting win. Unfortunately for them, they got neither of those. An early exit from Smith-Shawver […]

Robert Suarez gets closer to returning to the mound for Braves
In the midst of the news on Bryce Elder’s knee, we also got a pretty significant update on another pitcher who is currently on the road to recovery. Reliever Robert Suarez has been on the mend from some forearm issues for quite some time now and now w’ere starting to get something of a clearer […]
Bryce Elder has knee scope to clear bone fragments, will be out three-to-four weeks
Walt Weiss had some bad news for the Braves starting pitching rotation in this afternoon’s press conference. Oy. Per the manager himself, Bryce Elder had a minor knee surgery today. Apparently, he has been dealing with it for some time. He hopes to pitch in the postseason. I do as well, but yeech. Would that […]

Some thoughts after the Braves drew a split in Philadelphia
Yeah, I could’ve phrased this as a question and had the same post body anyway, but why bother when I can just make a post? After the Braves split their big series on the road against the Phillies, I have three big picture thoughts, two of which were prompted by their dramatic comeback win in […]

Lane Thomas in lineup at RF, Ronald Acuña at DH for Braves at Phillies
The Atlanta Braves have been one of the best teams since the All-Star break, and also have won the most games against winning teams in MLB. That being said, it has not been because of their underperforming offense. For the season the Braves have done decent. They have scored the ninth most runs in MLB. […]
