Braves re-add Carlos Carrasco, option Victor Mederos
It wouldn’t be a day without a roster move, right? Right? Carlos Carrasco returns to Atlanta for the third time this season. He pitched an inning in late April and was DFAed six days later, then re-added in early May, pitched another frame, and was DFAed the next day. And, after signing a minor league […]
Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Luis Guanipa Hits Walk Off
There was a power surge in the system on Wednesday, with home runs flying out all over the place for the Braves affiliates. Two notable guys who are having big years contributed to those numbers with Eric Hartman and Luis Guanipa both going deep for their respective clubs. Yet, it wasn’t a home run that […]
Why is Dominic Smith so awesome now?
Ha, this isn’t really even a question, except in the rhetorical sense. I just wanted to have an appreciation post for Dominic Smith, so this is it. It would’ve been enough for Smith to have those two big April hits and then fade into obsolescence. Two huge game-swinging mashes for a guy signed to a […]
Braves News: Eli White returns, another win, more
The Braves won another, the Phillies and Mets each lost another, and the division lead is back to 9.0 games, after a brief swoon back down to 7.0 games. They’ll have Spencer Strider on the mound, facing Sandy Alcantara, as they go for the series win in the four-game mid-week series. The loss of Drake […]
Braves dominate Marlins in 9-1 laugher of a win
Thanks to another big night at the plate (including huge hits from Dominic Smith and Austin Riley) for Atlanta’s lineup and a dominant outing from Chris Sale, the Atlanta Braves were able to take firm control of the series against the Miami Marlins as they sauntered to a comfortable 9-1 victory. In the preview for […]
Braves at Marlins chat and discussion: Chris Sale vs. Janson Junk
It’s getting to be that time for the pivotal third game of any four game series. The winner will be in the drivers seat for a series win while the loser will go into tomorrow’s game simply trying to salvage a split. I think we’re all hoping that Chris Sale and the Braves will be […]
Michael Harris II moves up to second in the lineup as Braves face Marlins
The Atlanta Braves have released their lineup for tonight’s contest against the Miami Marlins and the lineup is one that looks like another reminder of just how deep this lineup can be on any given day when injuries aren’t completely ravaging the squad. Anyways, here’s the lineup for the Braves: Michael Harris II has moved […]
Chris Sale starts as Braves look for two wins in a row over Marlins
Well, this has certainly been an eventful series so far! The Atlanta Braves bounced back on Tuesday evening from what was absolutely their worst loss of the season on Monday night and now they’ll surely like their chances now that Chris Sale is starting tonight’s game against the Miami Marlins. Chris Sale and Bryce Elder […]
Braves reinstate Eli White, DFA Jose Azocar
Most news these days (and, let’s be honest, the past few seasons) feels like it’s been more of the, “You’ll never guess which Brave is going on the Injured List this time!” variety, but this afternoon, I get to make a post with the opposite. Yes, Eli White is back after a brief stay on […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Aiven Cabral Wins Sixth Straight
When guessing who we thought the most consistent pitcher for any affiliate would be this season, few, if anyone, would have guess 18th round pick Aiven Cabral would anchor the Augusta pitching staff. Even as a reliever he has been the player they can rely on for consistent innings, and so far he has recorded […]
Will the Braves regret parting ways with Jonah Heim?
I’ve created a bit of a dilemma for myself. (Not Jonah Heim related.) I’m at least reasonably committed to doing the Big Board… but all the questions that I’ve come up with, and that people submitted responses and confidence ratings to, are all scored at the end of the year — except the Braves’ manager […]
Braves News: Drake Baldwin to injured list, series even against Fish, and more
Prior to Tuesday’s contest with the Miami Marlins, the Atlanta Braves announced several roster moves, most notably placing catcher Drake Baldwin on the 10-day injured list with a strained oblique. The club also selected Chadwick Tromp to the major league roster, reinstated Dylan Dodd from the injured list, optioned JR Ritchie to Triple-A Gwinnett, recalled […]
Drake Baldwin’s oblique strain a Grade 1
After today’s victory against the Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters that catcher Drake Baldwin’s MRI results came back with a mild Grade 1 oblique strain. Baldwin was placed on the 10-day IL earlier today as part of a bevy of moves. With Sean Murphy also on the injured list with a […]
Braves’ late breakthrough fuels 8-4 win against Miami
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but eight runs are better than zero. The Braves are back in the win column, winning their 33rd game of the season in Ronald Acuña Jr.’s return to the lineup. The Braves took advantage of command issues from Marlins starter Braxton Garrett, who loaded the bases with no outs to start […]
Braves vs. Marlins chat and discussion: Martín Pérez vs. Braxton Garrett
Good afternoon, folks. Wondering why it’s a 4:10 pm ET game? Me, too. The best explanation I’ve got for you is this tweet from Marlins beat writer Craig Mish: Lucky us, on the other end of this grand experiment. Regardless, here’s hoping the Baldwin-less Braves can even up this four-game set today after last night’s […]
Byron Buxton, future Brave? Braves fans sound off
ICYMI: Buster Olney spoke with the folks at 680 The Fan’s Cellini & Dimino on a variety of Braves-related topics yesterday, but none were more buzzy than the following: should the Braves trade for Byron Buxton? It’s been discussed a lot over the years. A two-time All-Star and Georgia native who’d be a great cultural […]
Ronald Acuna Jr. returns to lineup as DH in Game 2 vs. Marlins
I don’t know about y’all, but the vibes are… not quite dire, but close to it. It’s just year after year of an IL spot barely getting cold after an activation before someone expeditiously takes its place. The baseball gods have seemingly decreed that the Braves will never be allowed to be 100% healthy. Don’t […]
Braves move Drake Baldwin to 10-day IL with strained oblique; call up Chadwick Tromp, activate Dylan Dodd, release Aaron Bummer
Despite the wonderful start that the Braves are off to here in 2026, the one lingering nuisance from the past two seasons has been the team’s absolutely horrible run of luck when it comes to injuries. The injury bug has now apparently come for Drake Baldwin, who will be heading to the 10-day IL with […]
Martín Pérez on the mound versus Miami
The brightest side of a 4:10 pm ET start? Not wallowing in the absolute stinker that was last night’s game for a full day. The Braves will be looking to play a Normal game of baseball to deny the Fish a guaranteed series split. Here’s hoping the gloves and bats that didn’t make an appearance […]
Braves Farm System is currently missing something
Back on October 9th of last year, an announcement came from the Atlanta Braves that may not have raised a ton of eyebrows at the time. However the effects of that move are being felt right now in a very noticeable way in the team’s farm system. That move in question is the Braves parting […]
Was that the least competitive game the Braves will lose this year?
It’s funny that it happened yesterday for two reasons, at least to me. First, in the recap thread for Sunday’s game, there was a brief exchange about non-competitive games. Using a couple of different methodologies, True2Atlanta and I noted that there have only been four-ish games where the Braves weren’t competitive. I did a method […]
Braves News: Ronald Acuna Jr. Activated from IL, Worst Loss of Season, More
Well that was less than fun. Braves lost 12-0 on Monday against the Marlins. It was the worst loss of the season for the Braves on a rare night where they simply had no answers. While these games happen to all teams at least a few times a year, there is an opportunity for the […]
Braves forget there is a baseball game, lose 12-0
The Braves started a four game series in Miami with JR Ritchie on the mound, facing Max Meyer for Miami. The first three half-innings were fairly quiet, as both pitchers worked around a baserunner here or there, with a not-so-brief interlude, as the home plate ump was hit in the mask with a foul ball […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. activated, Kyle Farmer placed on Injured List
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have the highest winning percentage, Division lead, and Swag LevelTM in the league, have made a transaction before tonight’s game with the Miami Marlins. The Braves have reinstated Ronald Acuña from the 10-day Injured List. Ronald has been recovering from a Grade 1 hamstring strain since May 3rd. […]
