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 .

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 .

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 […]

Nationals 1B Luis Garcia Jr. pulled from Braves clash but not because of a trade

The Washington Nationals have been one of MLB’s biggest surprises in 2026, as they have seemingly come out of nowhere to put up the best offense in MLB (according to runs scored and total home runs). One of the catalysts behind the Nationals’ stellar offense is first baseman Luis Garcia Jr., who, in his age-26 […] The post Nationals 1B Luis Garcia Jr. pulled from Braves clash but not because of a trade appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Four-run sixth inning fuels Braves in win over Nationals

The Braves racked up hits early and often in this one, and two big swats in particular from Matt Olson and Michael Harris II gave the Braves the push they needed to pick up what’s becoming a somewhat rare occurrence lately: A comfortable win. From the outset in this one, the Braves were in control […]
