Braves could be a match for one of the Athletics outfielders
According to Jon Morosi, the Athletics are listening to offers on some of their outfielders, with the hope of landing young starting pitching in return. MLB Trade Deadline note: The A’s have received inquiries on their MLB outfielders. (They have 5 on the active roster and Clarke on the IL.) The scenarios would involve the […]
What Alex Anthopoulos said about the Braves ahead of the deadline
Alex Anthopoulos is making his media rounds now two weeks away from what’s expected to be a very active trade deadline for the Atlanta Braves. As always, he’s never going to give too much away or talk explicitly about any specific deals, but Anthopoulos is typically a relatively straight shooter, and he didn’t hesitate to […]
Two starting pitchers set to return to Braves very soon
The Braves are set to gain a couple of reinforcements over the next couple of weeks in Martin Perez and AJ Smith-Shawver, as they continue searching for answers in their rotation. According to Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman, Perez will be back this week, set to start Wednesday against the Padres. Braves probables vs. Padres […]
Braves: Walt Weiss walks back comments on Spencer Schwellenbach
Over the weekend, Walt Weiss had some not-so-encouraging comments on Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach, suggesting it didn’t look likely either would return this season. Strider coming back still feels highly unlikely after yet another significant elbow injury, but Weiss walked back his comments on Schwellenbach, saying he’d gone to Florida over the All-Star break […]
Four very encouraging signs for the Braves offense as second half begins
It was a tough six or so weeks for the Braves as they limped into the second half, watching a once 10.5-game lead in the NL East shrink all the way down to just two games ahead of the Phillies. But some recent developments should have everybody feeling more confident that the second-half version of […]
Hawks double down on defense, trading Zaccharie Risacher for Lu Dort
It felt like it was coming after the way Zaccharie Risacher fell completely out of the Hawks rotation towards the end of his second season, but the team made it official on Sunday with a three-team trade, sending the 2024 #1 overall pick to Dallas in exchange for Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard. BREAKING: The […]
Report: Braves eyeing Freddy Peralta ahead of the trade deadline
According to Hector Gomez, the Braves, Rays, and Brewers are eying Mets starting pitcher Freddy Peralta ahead of the trade deadline — with Gomez calling Milwaukee the top suitor as of now. SOURCE: The #Brewers have emerge as the top suitor to get starting pitcher Freddy Peralta before the trade deadline.#Braves and #Rays are showing […]
Braves injury updates on Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider, and Spencer Schwellenbach
The Braves began the second half the right way, dropping 15 runs on the Rangers and pairing it with seven scoreless innings from Chris Sale, who is only going to hear more NL Cy Young buzz as the second half goes on. Everybody got in on the action offensively… literally. Drake Baldwin led the way […]
Ken Rosenthal throws cold water on Braves’ Tarik Skubal hopes
The American League is doing the Braves no favors when it comes to potential trade discussions. There are tons of talented teams well below .500 that should only be thinking about selling this time of year. But because everybody is underachieving, even teams 10 games under .500 sit only five games out of the final […]
Is there an untradable prospect in the Braves farm system?
The trade deadline may not be full of sellers, but the Braves have no choice but to be aggressive in trying to patch up some of their glaring holes. It’s a far more desperate position than we’ve seen the club in compared to previous years — one where they have a roster built to compete […]
Braves 2027 Schedule: Potential for a nightmare start exists
The Braves announced their 2027 schedule on Thursday, and the start might just spark some PTSD from a season ago. pic.twitter.com/ZoTf7Hf6Rm — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 16, 2026 The Braves are set to open with three games out west in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, a place that’s been a house of horrors for Atlanta […]
A nice sign for Ronald Acuña Jr. as he continues rehab assignment
Ronald Acuña Jr. made the third appearance of his rehab assignment on Thursday afternoon and had himself quite the day, mashing a grand slam and walking twice. Acuña is still playing in the Florida Complex League. Once the second half gets underway, we’ll likely see him move up to Gwinnett pretty quickly, but it’s evident […]
ESPN updates Braves Top 10 prospects post MLB Draft
The MLB Draft concluded over the weekend, with the Braves adding a ton of intriguing prospects to their system — three of which landed in Kiley McDaniel’s latest top 10 for the organization. Braves Updated Top 10 Prospects Tate Southisene Eric Hartman Cam Caminiti Owen Murphy AJ Garcia Briggs McKenzie Kaiden McCarthy Jensen Hirschkorn John […]
Braves: Two obvious reunion candidates at the trade deadline
If there’s one thing everybody should know good and well by now from Alex Anthopoulos’ tenure with the Braves, it’s that he loves a good reunion. There are countless examples of guys leaving Atlanta only to return down the line, so it makes sense to run through a couple of former Braves who have a […]
Braves slated to give Owen Murphy first career start
The Braves are going back to the well of rookie pitchers to begin the second half, giving Owen Murphy the opportunity to make his first MLB start against the Rangers on Saturday. Braves vs. Rangers Friday: Chris SaleSaturday: Owen MurphySunday: Grant Holmes — Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) July 15, 2026 Given the issues in the rotation, […]
The 6 sellers, and what they can offer the Braves in a trade
Due to the expanded playoffs and the miserably weak American League, the number of teams guaranteed to sell ahead of the trade deadline is smaller than ever. MLB insider and former GM Jim Bowden has it at just six right now, which he discussed on the latest episode of GM Territory. Here’s the list and […]
Timeline for AJ Smith-Shawver to return to the Braves
As the Braves desperately search for answers to their rotation woes, AJ Smith-Shawver is next in line to get a crack. The hard-throwing right-hander began his rehab assignment at the beginning of the month. In his first two outings, he was unhittable — touching 100 MPH on the radar gun and showing off impeccable control […]
Three biggest questions the Braves face entering the second half
An abysmal finish has taken a lot of the air out of what was, on the whole, a strong first half for the Braves. But in some ways, it’s better to go through a rough patch now than two weeks before October baseball. The Braves know exactly what needs to be addressed heading into the […]
Bad signs for the Braves hopes at the trade deadline
There are some very intriguing trade matches for the Braves in the American League. Unfortunately, that league is as watered down as it’s ever been, and with the expanded playoffs, pretty much everyone feels like they not only have a chance to make the postseason but a real shot at working their way to the […]
Ha-Seong Kim homers in first game of rehab assignment
It’s not the All-Star break for everybody, as two injured Braves — Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim — began their rehab assignments on Monday in the Florida Complex League. The level of excitement surrounding the two couldn’t be on more opposite ends of the spectrum. The Braves are a completely different team without Ronald […]
Jeff Francoeur wants Didier Fuentes in the Braves rotation. Should they do it?
Six weeks ago, it was a lot easier for the Braves to feel confident about their rotation — even if they were still searching for answers on who exactly the #2 and #3 behind Chris Sale would be. Nobody had quite performed up to that level, but there were plenty of internal options with the […]
Braves enter the All-Star break in first place and full of questions
It’s not often a club enters the All-Star break leading its division while the entire discussion centers on whether it can turn things around in the second half. But that’s where the Braves find themselves, having watched a 10.5-game lead in the NL East evaporate as they limped into the break by dropping 19 of […]

Braves make a slew of roster moves amid series with Cardinals
Amid their series with the Cardinals, the Braves announced a slew of roster moves. Rookie Owen Murphy is returning to the club after making his MLB debut last week out of the bullpen. He’s replacing James Karinchak, who has been optioned to Gwinnett. Additionally, outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has been placed on the Injured List with […]
Braves Roster Moves: Hurston Waldrep optioned to Gwinnett
The Braves made a slightly surprising roster move ahead of their series with the Cardinals. Tyler Kinley has been activated from the paternity list, and in a corresponding move, Hurston Waldrep has been optioned to Gwinnett. The #Braves today reinstated RHP Tyler Kinley from the paternity list and optioned RHP Hurston Waldrep to Triple-A Gwinnett. […]
