The Braves have been red hot on offense leading all MLB teams in runs scored in July. This past week in particular has been great with Drake […]

Pitching injuries have been a staple of the Atlanta Braves organization over the last several years, and it looks like they could be dealing with another major issue with one of their most promising young arms. Hurston Waldrep, who just rehabbed his way back from an elbow injury that required surgery to remove loose bodies, […]

The Braves have spent the bulk of the season in first place in the National League East, but a once-comfortable lead has dwindled to three games over the resurgent Phillies (six and eight over the upstart Marlins and Nationals, respectively). As their division rivals have improved their play in recent weeks, Atlanta has struggled both […]
The Royals have signed veteran lefty Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha. Bummer has appeared in 406 career MLB games with the White Sox and Braves with a 3.94 ERA. He was let go by Atlanta earlier this year after posting a 7.36 ERA in 19 games. Bummer […]
The Atlanta Braves have the hottest offense in MLB since the start of July. No team has scored more runs than them, and they currently are third in wRC+. Of course Drake Baldwin and Austin Riley coming out of the All-Star break on fire has helped, but that has only been a small part of […]
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 […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to make a statement coming out of the All-Star break and their offense has been doing just that. The pitching has struggled a bit, so as they face the San Diego Padres this week it could go a long way in showing that the Braves are truly back or not […]
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 […]
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 […]
After what felt like a never-ending wait, the time to trade is nearly upon Major League Baseball. This year’s trade deadline is August 3 at 6 p.m. ET, giving contending clubs just two weeks to reinforce their rosters for the stretch drive. The Atlanta Braves are one of many teams seeking the missing pieces for their […]
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 […]
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 […]

Braves 8, Rangers 5
Drake Baldwin and Austin Riley both delivered in big ways as the Braves once again beat the Rangers in a big series and Sunday win. While there were a few pitching concerns, the bats showed they are more than capable of producing wins. That is certainly a great sign for Atlanta, especially with the return […]
June was a bad offensive month for the Braves. The first 12 games of July were a mixed bag: some good outputs, but questionable inputs. Still, it got the Braves to a 6-6 record. Then the All-Star Break came and went, and the Braves started the “second half” with a home series against the Rangers. […]
While the All-Star break may not have been much of a break for first-time All-Star Drake Baldwin, the Braves catcher has certainly come out of the break refreshed. Baldwin finished off a stellar first series back from the break with a career-high five hits — two more than he had ever had in a game […]
Here we are once again preparing for another Braves rubber match. Friday’s dominant showing was followed up by an unlucky 7-6 Saturday loss, leaving the Braves’ first series of the second half of the season against the Texas Rangers level at a win apiece. Surely that means the Braves will have some form of luck […]

Atlanta Braves star Matt Olson is MLB's last ironman, as he hasn't missed a game since 2021. His Braves teammates and manager Walt Weiss value that trait more than most.
