Latest news and updates about the Braves
It was a messy day down on the farm as multiple games were rained out in what was supposed to be a day full of action with nine total games slated for play. Still, there was plenty of action to go around, so let’s dive into it. (46-45) Gwinnett Stripers, (44-48) Toledo Mud Hens (POSTPONED) […]
The Atlanta Braves need to reinforce the rotation behind Chris Sale. The Detroit Tigers are on the periphery of the postseason race. Is a Tarik Skubal trade in play?
After a crushing victory on Friday night, the Braves now have two chances to open the “second half” with a series win against the respectable Rangers. Facing the Rangers’ lefty, MacKenzie Gore, Eli White gets the start in right field, batting sixth and just ahead of Austin Riley. Joey Bart gets the start at catcher, […]
According to Hector Gomez, the Braves, Rays, and Brewers are eying Mets starting pitcher Freddy Peralta ahead of the trade deadline — with Gomez calling Milwaukee the top suitor as of now.

We have a pretty interesting pitching matchup today, as Owen Murphy gets his first major league start for Atlanta and major offseason trade acquisition MacKenzie Gore will start for the Rangers. Murphy was the Braves’ 2022 first round pick, ahead of JR Ritchie, but injury timelines and development curves meant that Ritchie beat him to […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers got destroyed by the Braves in their first game back from the ASB. Kennedi Landry writes about Chris Sale good and Cal Quantrill ungood. Evan Grant has fan reactions from the switch to BZZR, which didn’t exactly shine in its debut. Elsewhere Grant says the Rangers face a key 16-game […]
Braves 15, Rangers 1
The Atlanta Braves opened up the second half of the 2026 season on a high note, defeating the Texas Rangers 15-1. Chris Sale got the start and was magnificent, going seven innings and allowing just two hits. He also recorded his 2,700th career strikeout. Offensively, things went well as the Atlanta lineup tallied 19 hits. […]
The Braves began the second half with a 15-1 beatdown of the Rangers. It’s their second-highest scoring game of the season and stretched their NL East lead over the Phillies back to three games. Atlanta’s lineup has picked back up this month after they were easily the worst offensive team in the league in June. […]
The title says it all. Sometimes a break does the body good. And that’s exactly what the Atlanta Braves have shown in their series opener against the Texas Rangers in a 15-1 win. Starting off with a Drake Baldwin single to bring in Dominic Smith, the Braves didn’t let up from the bottom of the […]
The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Atlanta Braves scored 15 runs. When the probables were released and it showed that the Rangers would be facing Chris Sale to open the second half, while countering with Cal Quantrill, the best you could hope for was that they would do what they had been doing […]
Officially, the second half of the 2026 season begins for the San Diego Padres with a 10-game road trip. The gauntlet includes playing two of the top National League East foes (Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins) after a weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. This might sound like a daunting task, but the Padres […]
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 […]
