Kevin Stefanski wouldn’t have expected the kind of start he’s having at training camp as the Atlanta Falcons‘ first-year head coach. Just last year, Atlanta had Michael Penix Jr. as the starting quarterback and veteran Kirk Cousins to back him up.

AJ makes his first start since May 29th in Philadelphia. […]
On paper, the Braves and the Blue Jays make perfect sense as trade partners. The Braves are obvious buyers sitting atop the NL East, while the Blue Jays are in last place in the AL East and 5.5 games back of the final wild card spot with several teams between them. They are likely sellers, […]

Over the last several years, talented position player prospects in the Braves farm system have been few and far between. The good news is the couple they had — Michael Harris II and Drake Baldwin — turned into superstars. But the depth was severely lacking. That’s been flipped on its head this season. More than […]
Onyeka Okongwu's catch-and-shoot ability has given the Hawks an entirely new outlook on their center of the future.
There is so much to talk about for the Braves minor league system from the opener of this week’s action. The Tate Southisene hit by pitch that forced him from the game is the news that could have the biggest ramifications on the rest of the season, but it was by far the low point […]

Welcome to Atlanta, Cooper Rush. Rush […]

The move comes after Monday’s game, where Thomas gave up 11 earned runs in just 2.2 innings against the New York Mets. Hernández is back with Atlanta after appearing for the club […]
The Braves’ focus ahead of the trade deadline: pitching, pitching, and more pitching, with a little side of offense. The club needs to add someone who can, at the very least, platoon in left field and at DH, but their top priorities undoubtedly surround the rotation and a bullpen that’s struggled mightily over the last […]

The Braves re-signed infielder Kyle Farmer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. He would’ve debuted with the Stripers tonight before the game was rained out.
