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 […]
An abysmal finish has taken a lot of the air out of what was, on the whole, a strong first half for the Braves. But in some ways, it’s better to go through a rough patch now than two weeks before October baseball. The Braves know exactly what needs to be addressed heading into the […]
The 2026 All-Star Game has come and gone, and the American League defeated the National League 4-0. Though the final score was not ideal, the Atlanta Braves had five All-Stars, four of which played. Ozzie Albies, Drake Baldwin, Matt Olson, and Raisel Iglesias each made an appearance. Albies and Baldwin earned the starts for the […]
Byron Buxton is not leaving the Minnesota Twins, which leaves the Atlanta Braves to scour the market for more realistic alternatives at the trade deadline.
Everything our Robert Murray learned from All-Star Game media day.
The Mets’ poor first half continued right into the All-Star break. They had a bad time north of the border, dropping two out of three to the Blue Jays before losing the first two games in Atlanta as well. They then rebounded a bit, scratching out a split with the Braves and beating the Royals—one […]
There are some very intriguing trade matches for the Braves in the American League. Unfortunately, that league is as watered down as it’s ever been, and with the expanded playoffs, pretty much everyone feels like they not only have a chance to make the postseason but a real shot at working their way to the […]
It’s not the All-Star break for everybody, as two injured Braves — Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim — began their rehab assignments on Monday in the Florida Complex League. The level of excitement surrounding the two couldn’t be on more opposite ends of the spectrum. The Braves are a completely different team without Ronald […]
Six weeks ago, it was a lot easier for the Braves to feel confident about their rotation — even if they were still searching for answers on who exactly the #2 and #3 behind Chris Sale would be. Nobody had quite performed up to that level, but there were plenty of internal options with the […]
With the All-Star Break here, much of the baseball world has a bit of time away from the diamond. However, there are still some games going on in the minors. And for the Braves, that meant the return to action for Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim. Both Kim and Acuna Jr. had multiple at-bats […]
With their 11th round pick in the 2026 MLB Draft the Atlanta Braves have selected Arizona prep infielder Ryne Barker. Barker is an older for the prep class prep infielder with a very interesting mix of tools who probably would have ranked higher if not for both age and a more limited track record in […]
With their 7th round pick in the 2026 MLB Draft the Atlanta Braves have selected Wisconsin prep catcher Jack Brenner. Brenner is a sleeper catcher with a promising bat for the position and a chance to develop further as a cold weather prep. Bio Name: Jack Brenner Position: Catcher Hometown: Fond du Lac, WI (Fond […]
It’s not often a club enters the All-Star break leading its division while the entire discussion centers on whether it can turn things around in the second half. But that’s where the Braves find themselves, having watched a 10.5-game lead in the NL East evaporate as they limped into the break by dropping 19 of […]
The St. Louis Cardinals reached the All-Star break still in the pursuit of earning a playoff berth. They are only one game behind the Miami Marlins, who hold the third NL Wild Card spot. As their plans to sweep the Atlanta Braves were foiled on Sunday, manager Oli Marmol failed to keep his temper at […] The post Tempers Flare in Braves vs Cardinals Game as Oli Marmol Snaps at MLB Umpires in Animated Scenes appeared first on EssentiallySports .
With All-Star festivities kicking into high gear, we continue our series featuring 2x MVP Dale Murphy. Murphy would play 15 seasons for the Braves, with half of those resulting in All-Star Game selections. In the 80’s only one player hit more home runs than Dale, that being Mike Schmidt. Dale Murphy joins us exclusively […]
Perspective Check: Four teams have more wins than the Cubs, two teams have as many wins as the Cubs. The Cubs enter the All-Star break in the top Wild Card spot. They are now only one loss behind the Braves and five behind the Brewers. They are on pace for 91 wins. A quirk about […]
(54-39) Memphis Redbirds 2, (46-45) Gwinnett Stripers 7 Box Score The Stripers extended their winning streak to four games after a well fought game featuring strong pitching and the long ball. Let’s take a look at how the Stripers got it done. Drue Hackenberg got the start and was extremely strong – allowing just a […]
Happy All-Star break to all who celebrate. May we all come away from this refreshed and ready for what awaits us in the next half, which kicks off Friday at home versus the Rangers. This week is for rest and recovery, but also a secret third R: rehab. The Braves (55-40) have announced that Ronald […]
On Monday morning, the Braves announced that Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim will begin their rehab assignments with the FCL Braves. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim today begin rehabilitation assignments with the FCL Braves. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 13, 2026 Acuña is obviously the big one here. He hasn’t appeared in a […]
This is kind of a weird question, but hear me out. As it stands right now, the Braves are on pace for a 94-win season. That’s pretty good! Of course, you all know about how June (especially June 9-30) was a nightmare, and the best the Braves have managed since is .500 ball. So, at […]
With the All-Star Break now here, it was a busy weekend on and off the field for every MLB team. For the Braves, they were able to end the first half of the season on a positive note with a win over the Cardinals. Though they lost the series, the Braves now get a chance […]
Remember when I asked in the headline of the Pirates series recap if the Atlanta Braves had finally found that spark at the plate that they’d been looking for? As it turned out, they probably haven’t found that spark because we ended up watching them fall into yet another extended period of struggling as the […]
The Atlanta Braves took a 4-3 win against the St. Louis Cardinals, and though they didn’t win the battle, they’ve won the war… or at least avoided being swept after dropping the series. Does that still count? The sunny days just might be here again. The Cardinals kicked off their bid on the scoreboard after […]
