Braves Minor League Recap: Kuehler Continues Scoreless Streak
Saturday saw the teams in the Atlanta Braves organization split six games down the middle. Cade Kuehler threw his third straight great game, while Isaiah Drake, John Gil, and Jim Jarvis all had notable days at the plate. We also got to get the full Jhancarlos Lara experience, where he got himself into trouble, but […]
Did the Walt Weiss tackle save the season?
Do you know the last game when the Atlanta Braves weren’t in first place by the end of the day? Do you know when Walt Weiss tackled Jorge Soler? If you know one then you know the other. Let’s go back to April 7th. I don’t know that it saved the season. But for the […]
Spencer Schwellenbach throwing, progressing in injury rehab
Yesterday, Grant McAuley of Atlanta’s 92.9 the Game, From The Diamond and Battery Power, spoke with injured Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach about his rehabilitation progression. Schwellenbach told McAuley that he has starting throwing from 60 feet on flat ground every other day – a process that began six days ago. That will be […]
Braves News: Chris Sale interview, Braves shut out, more
The Braves lost a game 2-0 to the Nationals, which is unfortunate because the Nationals are very much the profile of team that you should beat if you hold them to 2 runs (though statistically that applies to every team, the Nationals are especially pitching-deficient. That said, the Braves still have a chance for a […]
Despite a solid Holmes start, Braves get shutout by Nationals in game two
It’s an understatement to say the Atlanta Braves’ run support didn’t show up in today’s matchup against the Washington Nationals. Falling 2-0, they just couldn’t find a way to rally late and get on the board with only one hit managed. Coming off a rain delay in the middle of the second inning, both teams […]
Braves and Nationals Rain Delay Updates, May 23
The rain came down in the middle of the second inning after threatening to do so since before the game started. Hang out here while we wait for the Braves and Nationals to re-start. No updates yet on the restart time. The tarps is still on the field, but not in the stands. Looks like […]

Chadwick Tromp starts in Atlanta’s lineup vs Nationals in game two
It’s a mixture of sunshine and overcast here in Atlanta, and rain is expected to come in later in the evening, but the show must go on…until further notice. Let’s look at these Saturday lineups. An impressive walk-off from a line-drive RBI single from Chadwick Tromp ended yesterday’s game one matchup against the Nationals in […]
Grant Holmes takes the mound in game two vs the Nationals
After a stunning walk-off in the 11th inning to win yesterday’s matchup, the Atlanta Braves are looking for a series win against the high-offensive-powered Washington Nationals with Grant Holmes on the mound. Holmes, who’s holding a 3.80 ERA and a 3-1 record, had a nice outing against the Boston Red Sox last weekend (May 17). […]
Braves minor league recap: Garrett Baumann strikes out eight for Columbus
While the weather complicated things on Friday by getting in the way of half the minor league games, there was still some solid action to dive into. Let’s get into it. (27-22) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (25-24) Charlotte Knights 4 Box Score Gwinnett took this one into extra innings but failed to come away with a […]
James Karinchak and Rowdy Tellez, what’s happening here?
The Braves have released 11.5 million dollars of bullpen funds that were committed to Aaron Bummer and Joel Payamps. A few relievers, like Carlos Carrasco, Ian Hamilton, and Osvaldo Bido, have come and gone (and/or come and gone in a circular pattern). Meanwhile, James Karinchak has been silencing Triple-A batters in obscurity. I know he […]

Chadwick Tromp is the hero as Braves walk it off in the 11th
The Atlanta Braves took on the Washington Nationals tonight in a matchup that featured the top two scoring offenses in MLB thus far.

Braves vs Nationals chat and discussion: Bryce Elder vs Miles Mikolas
The Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals are facing on in a battle of MLB’s top two scoring offenses. It is highly likely that no one truly predicted that these two teams would have scored the most runs this far into the season. The biggest difference between these two teams is that the Braves have […]

Bryce Elder set to take the mound as Braves face Nationals
The Atlanta Braves are rolling. After the win yesterday against the Marlins, they now hold sole possession of the best run differential in MLB. They also have the most wins while reaching thirty-five wins the fastest they have in a season since their rebuild ended in 2018. Today starts a new series with a Washington […]
Braves at Marlins series recap: One bad game before three awesome games
If I told you beforehand that the Atlanta Braves would end up winning their first four-game series of the season in order to keep this fantastic run of form to start the season going, you absolutely would’ve taken it. With that being said, this was definitely a bit of a Monkey’s Paw situation where the […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Alex Lodise Hits Two Home Runs
It was a huge day at the plate for Alex Lodise, who seems to be coming around for Augusta following a two home run performance for them. With that effort Lodise tied for the team lead in home runs, and the top three in the lineup sit 1-2-3 on the team in home runs. Elsewhere […]
Braves News: Maverick Handley claimed, Ronald Acuña Jr. day-to-day, and more
In light of the numerous injuries, the Atlanta Braves have continued the roster shuffle; this time, catcher Maverick Handley was claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, righty Hurston Waldrep was transferred to the 60-day injured list. 28-year-old Handley made his […]
Harris homers bookend Braves’ 9-3 mashing of Marlins
Another game, another offensive outburst, another series win. The Braves continued to bounce back and then some from their 12-0 drubbing in the series opener, riding a trio of homers, including two by Michael Harris II, to yet another easy win over the Marlins in Miami. The Braves wasted no time in opening the scoring […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña, Jr. was replaced in the bottom of the sixth inning of tonight’s game against the Miami Marlins by Eli White after dealing with an apparent thumb issue one inning prior.

After a couple of feel-good wins in Miami, the Braves can take the four-game set with another victory on Thursday night. Ha-Seong Kim returns to the lineup, and Chadwick Tromp will make his first start of the year as the Braves take aim at Sandy Alcantara. For the Marlins, it’s mostly a familiar set of […]
Maverick Handley claimed and optioned to Gwinnett, Hurston Waldrep moved to 60-day IL
Let’s be so honest – would you even believe the Atlanta Braves had the best record in baseball if you’d been told that both Sean Murphy and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin were on the IL at the same time? For eight glorious days we had our elite catching tandem, arguably the […]
Sandy Alcantara stands in the way of Spencer Strider, series win
Back in 2022-2023, the pitching matchup in tonight’s Braves-Marlins series finale would’ve been heralded far and wide. Things are a little different these days, but that doesn’t mean that either team will have an easy path to a victory. The Braves can no longer lose this series after yesterday’s victory, but they can indeed still […]
