Rangers Select Nolan Kingham

The Rangers announced this afternoon that they have selected Nolan Kingham‘s contract from Triple-A Round Rock. The right-hander will be making his MLB debut if he gets into a game. In a corresponding move, Texas optioned fellow righty Luis Curvelo back to Triple-A. Kingham, 29, was drafted by the Braves in 2018 and pitched in […]

Braves announce 2 roster moves before Nationals clash

The Atlanta Braves refreshed their bullpen Saturday by recalling right-hander James Karinchak and designating right-hander Elieser Hernandez for assignment before their matchup with the Washington Nationals. The roster moves added a rested arm after Hernandez worked three innings in Friday’s 6-2 victory at Truist Park. Hernandez earned a three-inning save while allowing one run on […] The post Braves announce 2 roster moves before Nationals clash appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Drake Baldwin leads off again, facing the righty Miles Mikolas

The Braves are going for another series win at home against their division rival Nationals. Reynaldo Lopez is taking the mound, with Miles Mikolas starting for Washington, in a matchup of unconvincing righties. Drake Baldwin gets the nod at leadoff against the righty starter, as Walt Weiss continues to swap him and Acuna at the […]

Atlanta Braves Announce Drake Baldwin Decision Before Nationals Game

The Atlanta Braves have extended their NL East division lead to eight games after beating the Washington Nationals in the first two games of their four-game series. Atlanta is 10-5 since the MLB All-Star break, and appears to have found its Mojo again on offense. A big reason for that has been Drake Baldwin being […] The post Atlanta Braves Announce Drake Baldwin Decision Before Nationals Game appeared first on HEAVY .

Falcons, Matthew Bergeron agree to $96 million contract extension

The Atlanta Falcons on Saturday signed left guard Matthew Bergeron to a four-year contract extension, keeping the offensive lineman under contract with the team through the 2030 season. The deal is reportedly worth $96 million and includes $60 million in guaranteed money, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Bergeron was originally […] The post Falcons, Matthew Bergeron agree to $96 million contract extension appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Braves look to secure DC series win behind Reynaldo Lopez

With a comfortable win Friday, the Braves will have two chances to win the series against the Nationals ahead of the trade deadline Monday, with this first chance coming behind Reynaldo Lopez on the mound. Reynaldo has been serviceable since returning to the rotation but there are still weird inconsistencies in his arsenal and velocity […]

Braves: Robert Suarez injury is becoming more worrisome by the day

We are about 48 hours from the trade deadline, and it’s become increasingly evident the Braves should be prioritizing additions to their bullpen, given there still seems to be no progress with Robert Suarez. Walt Weiss said again ahead of Friday’s game that Atlanta’s All-Star reliever has yet to throw a bullpen, and from the […]

Braves Biweekly: With some luck, back on the horse

Past summaries: How did the Braves do recently? The post All-Star Break portion of July was a fun one for the Braves. You probably recall that June was terrible for this team, and the start of July was… okay, because the team played .500 ball instead of continuing to plunge through a June-esque abyss. Two […]

Braves designate Elieser Hernández for assignment and recall James Karinchak

The Atlanta Braves have once again activated the DFA Cycle and the latest passenger is none other than Elieser Hernández. Following another one-appearance stint with Atlanta, Hernández has been designated for assignment and reliever James Karinchak will be taking his place on the roster for the time being. Hernández has actually come up pretty big […]

Braves Designate Elieser Hernandez For Assignment

The Braves announced Saturday that right-hander Elieser Hernandez has been designated for assignment. Right-handed reliever James Karinchak has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett in his place. Hernandez, 31, seems to have stepped into the Carlos Carrasco/Jesse Chavez role in Atlanta. The Braves near-habitually stash a veteran righty who can’t be optioned in Gwinnett and cycle […]

Falcons: Kevin Stefanski provides injury update on Jawaan Taylor

One of the more surprising developments of the offseason was Falcons starting right tackle Kaleb McGary abruptly retiring after suffering a leg injury in 2025 that forced him to miss the entire season. Because of that, the Falcons pivoted to veteran Jawaan Taylor, who inked a one-year, $5 million contract to protect the blind side […]

Falcons training camp Day 4 news, standouts, interviews, injuries

The Falcons welcomed all fans for the first time on Saturday for the fourth consecutive day of training camp. It was a mercifully cool, cloud-covered morning, and fans turned out starting early. The line was already growing when I arrived at the facility before 8:00 am. Practice wasn’t quite as exciting as I hoped, but […]

Braves have a big decision looming at shortstop

Ha-Seong Kim has been in Gwinnett on a rehab assignment, where he’s shown some signs of life with the stick. The surface-level numbers aren’t all that great — he’s hitting just a hair over .200 with a .614 OPS — but he is hitting the ball hard with consistency, something he rarely showed over 27 […]

1 last-minute trade Braves must make before deadline

The Atlanta Braves have earned the right to plan specifically for October. At 65–45, they lead the National League East by eight games. Their objective at the 2026 trade deadline should be straightforward. Add a credible Game 2 or Game 3 starter behind veteran ace Chris Sale without sacrificing the prospects needed to sustain long-term […] The post 1 last-minute trade Braves must make before deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Braves injury updates on Hurston Waldrep and Spencer Schwellenbach

Back-to-back wins over the Nationals have the Braves up eight games in the NL East, looking like a near lock to return to the postseason following a one-year hiatus. But it’s going to be difficult to make it very far past that point if they don’t find some answers for their rotation issues. Those could […]

Bryce Elder, Game 2 starter?

Am I getting ahead of myself talking about the playoffs on August 1st? Maybe. The Braves likely need to win 90 games to enter the postseason tournament. So they need another 25 wins across the next 52 games to get there. Atlanta has plenty of time to mess this up, but the good people over […]

Braves News: Spencer Schwellenbach update, Bryce Elder solid, and more

Mark Bowman of mlb.com provided several updates on the Atlanta Braves ahead of Friday’s contest at Truist Park. Most notably, Spencer Schwellenbach is in Atlanta and will throw a couple bullpens. Though just now ramping up baseball activities, he is hopeful for a return this September.  Bowman also provided updates on Ha-Seong Kim and Hurston […]
