Latest news and updates about the Braves
We’re back with Braves baseball. Let’s see if the Braves can take a dub and start off hot. First things first, the offense needs to step up. And consistency has to come through as well. The Braves aren’t too far off from being great. They’re just missing pieces that need to be combined to get […]
Texas Rangers lineup for July 17, 2026 against the Atlanta Braves: starting pitchers are Cal Quantrill for the Rangers and Chris Sale for the Braves. Texas begins the second half of the season with a three game set in Atlanta. Chris Sale is on the mound for the Braves, so Skip Schumaker has all the […]
Welcome back to your regularly scheduled program of Atlanta Braves baseball. The roster has been released, and let’s just say it’s an exact copy-and-paste of how they ended the half. Facing the Texas Rangers tonight, Drake Baldwin will be leading off with Brewer Hicklen returning to the lineup to take over right field and batting […]
Atlanta Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos is looking to add offensive help at the trade deadline after attempting to land a starting pitcher last offseason, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The Braves return to action tonight at Truist Park to begin a three-game set against the Texas Rangers. We’re hoping they’re well-rested and ready to come out of the All-Star break hot. Or at least playing better than .500 ball, like how they began July. We can afford to be optimistic knowing the players that […]
Former Braves and White Sox reliever Aaron Bummer has opted out of his minor league deal with the Cubs and is now a free agent. This is pretty much a nothingburger because Bummer hasn’t been able to recapture the performance that made him a coveted arm a few years ago, and it’s really saying something … The post Aaron Bummer Opts Out, Becomes Free Agent appeared first on .
If you asked Atlanta Braves fans back in early March how they would feel about entering the All-Star break with a 55-40 record and a two-game lead in the National League East, more than 95% of them would have said they would be thrilled. Fast forward to today, and the mood around Braves Country feels […] The post Braves First Half Report Card: What Went Right and What Went Wrong? appeared first on Just Baseball .
The American League is doing the Braves no favors when it comes to potential trade discussions. There are tons of talented teams well below .500 that should only be thinking about selling this time of year. But because everybody is underachieving, even teams 10 games under .500 sit only five games out of the final […]
It didn’t take very long for Ronald Acuna Jr. to start striking fear into the hearts of the FCL pitchers. His grand slam and five RBIs was critical in driving the FCL Braves to a shootout win, even though he only had three plate appearances and left after three innings. (16-36) FCL Braves 14, (23-29) […]
The trade deadline may not be full of sellers, but the Braves have no choice but to be aggressive in trying to patch up some of their glaring holes. It’s a far more desperate position than we’ve seen the club in compared to previous years — one where they have a roster built to compete […]
Acknowledging that “anticipation” doesn’t necessarily even connote something positive, but I wanted to be pithy… There were four days with no Braves baseball, in a row. Tonight, it’s back. The Braves went from exhilaratingly good to … really bad, almost on a dime. The division lead is slim, the overall “hold a playoff spot” lead […]
Things are beginning to ramp up for Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., who appeared in his third rehab game with the Florida Complex League on Thursday. During Thursday’s contest, he drew two walks and hit a grand slam. Acuña has served as the designated hitter in all three rehab appearances as the Braves gradually […]
The Braves announced their 2027 schedule on Thursday, and the start might just spark some PTSD from a season ago. pic.twitter.com/ZoTf7Hf6Rm — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 16, 2026 The Braves are set to open with three games out west in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, a place that’s been a house of horrors for Atlanta […]
In case you’re missing seeing the Atlanta Braves in baseball action during the current All-Star break, not only do you have the rest of the second half to look forward to (and hopefully the Postseason as well), you now have the 2027 season to (hopefully, as well) look forward to as MLB has released the […]

Two National League teams not named the Dodgers could make a play for Tarik Skubal at the MLB trade deadline
If there’s one thing everybody should know good and well by now from Alex Anthopoulos’ tenure with the Braves, it’s that he loves a good reunion. There are countless examples of guys leaving Atlanta only to return down the line, so it makes sense to run through a couple of former Braves who have a […]
It’s the “break” part of the All-Star break now, as the festivities are complete and the team doesn’t return to action until Friday. There are still select minor league games, transactions, and draft pick signings left to track, however. Braves News Ivan took a look at the Braves’ performance in the first half of July. […]
How y’all doing? I, personally, am ready for this break to be over. The All-Star Game and related festivities came to a close last night – Sam’s got a recap on how our Braves represented us in the Midsummer Classic. Was it weirder than normal, or was it just me? Anyways. The Braves will return […]
The Braves are going back to the well of rookie pitchers to begin the second half, giving Owen Murphy the opportunity to make his first MLB start against the Rangers on Saturday. Braves vs. Rangers Friday: Chris SaleSaturday: Owen MurphySunday: Grant Holmes — Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) July 15, 2026 Given the issues in the rotation, […]
Past summaries: How did the Braves do recently? The Braves went 6-6 in July before the All-Star Break. 6-6 is… okay. The Braves went 6-5 in the first half of June, well before any alarm bells sounded. Lots of teams go .500ish in a short stretch. The Dodgers were 5-6! The Brewers were 7-6! The […]
Due to the expanded playoffs and the miserably weak American League, the number of teams guaranteed to sell ahead of the trade deadline is smaller than ever. MLB insider and former GM Jim Bowden has it at just six right now, which he discussed on the latest episode of GM Territory. Here’s the list and […]

There isn’t much action to speak of at the minor league level due to the all-star break, but there is some important rehab action going on down in Northport with the FCL Braves. The biggest is, of course, Ronald Acuna Jr. making his second appearance during his recovery from his hamstring strain. Ha-Seong Kim and […]
As the Braves desperately search for answers to their rotation woes, AJ Smith-Shawver is next in line to get a crack. The hard-throwing right-hander began his rehab assignment at the beginning of the month. In his first two outings, he was unhittable — touching 100 MPH on the radar gun and showing off impeccable control […]
