Walt Weiss: Drake Baldwin could return for Braves “next time we’re at home”
The Atlanta Braves are back in town, which means that the incredibly informative events that are Walt Weiss’ pregame press conferences are back in full swing. Fresh off the heels of Braves President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos providing a bit of a nebulous update on Drake Baldwin’s injury status and being the first […]
Jorge Mateo starts again at shortstop in homestand opener
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 […]
Braves look to open homestand with a win behind Bryce Elder
The Braves are back home after another successful road trip. They’ll face Toronto and Pittsburgh now at home, but Toronto comes first and former Brave Kevin Gausman will take the mound Tuesday. Gausman has essentially pitched at a star level since leaving the Braves, as they seem to have done the right scouting, but couldn’t […]
Braves select Carlos Carrasco
The Atlanta Braves, who lead the NL East by 9.5 games and are leading the league in designating Carlos Carrasco for assignment, have made a roster move before tonight’s game with the Toronto Blue Jays. Lookie lookie lookie, here comes Cookie. I don’t quite understand why MLB doesn’t just allow teams to hold 14 pitchers […]
An updated look at potential 2026 Braves draft picks in NCAA Baseball Tournament
It was quite a bloodletting for seeded teams in the tournament this weekend. Seven of the sixteen seeded were wiped away in the first weekend, including the top two seeds in UCLA and Georgia Tech. There were some great performances in the tournament though. It’s possible some of these players that we’re tracking were able […]
How many Braves will absolutely rake in June?
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 […]
Braves News: Mauricio Dubon, Hurston Waldrep, Week Ahead, More
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, […]
Atlanta Braves off day chat and discussion: June 1
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 […]
The Week Ahead for Atlanta: Tough pitching matchups lie ahead for the Braves
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 […]
Mauricio Dubón’s versatility quickly making him indispensable to Braves
The Atlanta Braves are off to one of their hottest starts in franchise history and with no shortage of reasons for this early success. Atlanta’s pitching staff weathered injury storms while a resurgent offense is once again among the best in Major League Baseball after a pair of challenging seasons in the run-scoring department. While […]
Braves Biweekly: Late May just good, rather than absurdly awesome
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 […]
Anthony Molina and Carlos Carrasco to Gwinnett; Hurston Waldrep to start rehab
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 […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Tate Southisene, Conor Essenburg Flex Power
(29-28) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (35-22) Nashville Sounds 4 Box Score The Gwinnett Stripers ended their week with a very narrow, late fall, to the hands of the Nashville Sounds. After striking early, the Stripers were held in check by the Sounds thanks to some very unfortunate production with runners in scoring position – going 3-for-14 […]
Who was your Braves MVP for May?
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 […]
Braves News: Ronald Acuna Jr. Making History, Drake Baldwin and Hurston Waldrep Updates, More
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 […]
Braves at Reds series recap: 40 wins for Atlanta before June
The train just won’t stop rolling, folks. The Atlanta Braves went into this series with the Cincinnati Reds following an emphatic bounce-back series win against the Boston Red Sox and looking to ensure that this road trip would be a winning one as well. It was especially encouraging to see Ronald Acuña Jr. deliver a […]
Alex Anthopoulos provides updates on Drake Baldwin and Hurston Waldrep
Before Sunday afternoon’s loss to the Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos spoke with BravesVision Play-by-Play commentator Brandon Gaudin in something of a “state of the front office”-type interview. With that being said, the biggest question of the session had to do with the status of a couple of injured […]
Ronald Acuña Jr., Michael Harris II can’t propel Braves to sweep of Reds
Sunday’s series finale against the Cincinnati Reds couldn’t have started much better for the Atlanta Braves. From there, though, it was a relative disappointment compared to the two strong wins to begin the weekend. Although Ronald Acuña Jr. led off the game with a first-pitch homer — his fifth in the last four games — […]
Braves at Reds chat and discussion: Spencer Strider vs. Nick Lodolo
The Atlanta Braves can conclude their second consecutive 19-win month if they close out May with a win over the Cincinnati Reds. Follow along here as the Braves look to complete a 5-1 road trip in the Queen City at 1:40 p.m. EDT on BravesVision. Game Info Preview Lineups
Ha-Seong Kim back in Braves lineup for Cincinnati series finale
After a three-game absence, Ha-Seong Kim returns to the Braves lineup for Sunday afternoon’s series finale in Cincinnati. Kim, who has struggled to generate momentum with a .095 batting average and no extra-base hits in 12 games and 42 at-bats after starting the season on the injured list, is getting another chance to break out […]
Spencer Strider gets the nod as Braves seek sweep of Reds
This week’s Braves road trip has already been a success. They’ve won two more series, bringing their series record to 16-2-1 on the season. They became the first team to reach 40 wins with Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds, reaching a season-high 21 games above .500. Atlanta looks to make it a 5-1 […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Campos, Lodise Have Multi-Hit Days
Saturday was a rough day down on the Atlanta Braves farm system, as the teams in the organization combined to drop all six games played. Making things tougher were a JR Ritchie start that lasted just a third of an inning, plus another less than impressive start from Lucas Braun. There were some positives though, […]
Where do you rate Great American Ballpark?
I was in Cincinnati and Great American Ballpark. I have to say, regardless of the outcome, that I really liked it. Yes, it’s small. Not just the outfield dimensions, though. It’s cute, as the wife remarked. I feel that the rows are closer together in the lower bowl. I didn’t realize how pitched the right […]
Braves News: The MVP version of Ronald Acuña Jr. has arrived, 40-19, more
This season is going astonishingly well in Atlanta. They are the first team to 40 wins despite missing half of their projected rotation, having missed time from Ronald Acuna and Drake Baldwin, Ha-Seong Kim only playing 12 games and being astonishingly bad, and Austin Riley struggling. Now Schwellenbach, Waldrep, and Smith-Shawver are progressing back towards […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. homers twice, as Braves power past Reds 5-2
With two veteran serviceable but uninspiring pitchers on the mound in the Great American Ballpark, this had the looks of a high-scoring affair on paper. Six batters were all it took to get through the first inning, as Martin Perez walked the only baserunner and got a double-play to erase him. The Braves struck first […]
