Latest news and updates about the Braves
It’s September and it feels like we’ve been waiting a lifetime for this 2026 Braves team to put everything together. Glimpses of dominant pitching and barrages of offensive power have rarely coincided for long stretches. After a frustrating loss to the Giants to finish out August, the Braves similarly squandered opportunities and fell to the […]
After winning three out of four against the Marlins, the Nats homestand continues with another NL East matchup. The boys have a quick two game series against the Braves before a much needed off day. As we enter September, the Nats will have to dig deep and finish strong here. We are getting a new […]

After a quick flight, the Braves are back in Washington, DC for one last series against the Nationals this season. With RHP Jake Irvin on the mound, Walt Weiss is running yet another novel lineup today. Drake Baldwin will catch for AJ Smith-Shawver and bat leadoff. Ronald Acuña Jr.’s performance in the Rockies series was […]
Past summaries: On August 15, the Braves were enjoying an 8-5 month. They then had more or less the road trip from hell, only to return home and sweep the Dodgers and keep it going with another sweep of the Rockies right after. In total, they went 9-6 over August’s second half. That .600 winning […]
There has been plenty of discourse surrounding the Atlanta Braves‘ lack of significant transactions, both during the offseason and leading up to the trade deadline. Yet, as we enter the final month of the regular season, the Braves are in as good a position as almost anyone. Atlanta enters September with an 82-56 record, the […] The post After Chris Sale, Who Starts for the Braves in October? appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Atlanta Braves are making moves as September roster expansions approach. Atlanta has added right-handed relief pitcher Blake Burkhalter and veteran infielder Kyle Farmer to the active roster ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Washington Nationals. Burkhalter earns his long-awaited…
The Atlanta Braves are making some changes for the final month of the regular season.
Happy September, y’all. Somehow the calendar has flipped over to the final month of the regular season. (And of course, happy SB Nation app launch day to all who celebrate! What are you waiting for? It’s available now on iOS or Android, and more info is available here.) After a near-dream of a homestand in which they went […]
The Athletic just released its weekly power rankings, with the Braves coming in tied for second alongside the Los Angeles Dodgers. I think that’s cheating, and I’m going to keep rolling my eyes considering Atlanta just swept the Dodgers and both teams entered the week with identical records. It’s probably okay to give the Braves […]
Sept. 1: Atlanta announced Tuesday that both Burkhalter and Farmer were selected to the major league roster. Righty Robert Suarez moves to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. He’s already missed more than 60 days due to elbow inflammation, making the move a mere formality. Aug. 31: The Braves appear set to call […]
The Braves have never been a team that spends massively in the offseason, and when they do fork out some real change, the results have been middling at best. This past winter was a prime example. Robert Suarez certainly pitched like he’d earned the $45 million contract the Braves handed him before injuries derailed his […]
Possibly one of the weirdest positive things about a member of the 2026 Atlanta Braves is that Dylan Lee is second among the team’s pitchers in fWAR, with 2.0. Among all pitchers, he is 71st with that mark. To be clear: every team has five-plus starters and a gaggle of relievers, and Lee is in […]
Along with the injury update we received on Robert Suarez yesterday, there were also some minor updates on Joe Jimenez and Reynaldo Lopez. Let’s start with the man we haven’t seen pitch in a major-league game since 2024. Joe Jimenez has had a plethora of procedures on his knee, and there have been several points […]
It’s a big day for Battery Power. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Braves. You can download it by searching SB Nation for iOS or Android. A year ago we made some big changes to our community, including offering fewer ads and the addition of the […]
Monday was the rare game in which the Braves got beat by their own strategy. The Atlanta bullpen struggled in a 7-3 loss to the lowly Giants, ending a season series in which the Braves dropped 5 of 6 games to San Francisco. This also ended the Braves seven game winning streak. Losses certainly occur, […]
On paper, it looked like a big advantage that the Atlanta Braves got to play the makeup game for a June 18 rainout at the end of August. The San Francisco Giants would have to wait 10 weeks, fly across the country ahead of a six-game road trip, and trade away six veterans in the […]
And so it ends… Just as the Atlanta Braves were on a hot streak, the San Francisco Giants took the power back in this makeup game with a 7-3 win. The Giants’ Rafael Devers set the tone with a home run in the top of the first inning. Matt Olson answered right after in the […]
One and done for the Atlanta Braves to pull off a seven-game win streak against the San-Francisco Giants in this makeup game. Tune in at 6:05 p.m. ET Lineups Preview
The San Francisco Giants play a make-up game against the Atlanta Braves this afternoon from Truist Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Anthony Molina, who enters today’s game with a 2.89 ERA, 4.48 FIP, with three strikeouts to two walks in nine and a third innings pitched between the Giants and […]
One of the biggest developments over the final month for the Braves won’t take place on the field. It involves the continued rehabilitation of Robert Suarez and getting him primed for October. That’s been the plan for a while now, and the All-Star reliever is set to take a giant step in the right direction […]
The Braves appear set to call up righty Blake Burkhalter for his major league debut. Jesús Cano of The Athletic reports that Burkhalter has a locker set up in Atlanta’s clubhouse. The 2022 second-round pick is not on the 40-man roster, which is currently at capacity. The team will need to make a corresponding move […]
The Braves’ roster will expand to 28 players tomorrow, allowing the club to add one pitcher and one position player. According to Grant McAuley, those players will be prospect reliever Blake Burkhalter and veteran Kyle Farmer. Blake Burkhalter is one of the #Braves two September call-ups. Kyle Farmer is the other. Burkhalter, who turns 26 […]
Today’s the final day of August, which means that we’re knocking on the door of the crucial month of September. Every team in baseball will get an opportunity to add two players to their roster for the final month of the season and as such, the Braves have decided to go with a balance of […]
The stage is set to kick off the Atlanta Braves makeup game against the San Francisco Giants. Let’s look at these rosters. Drake Baldwin is leading the team off with Mike Yastrzemski set to finish in the nine-hole. After this matchup will be the trip to Washington, so the Braves will need to carry their […]
