Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves traveled to PNC Park in hopes of picking up a much needed win after two heartbreaking losses in a row. Hurston Waldrep made his second start of season for the Braves and Paul Skenes was on the mound hoping to rebound from the worst stretch of his young career. The Braves got […]
The MLB Trade Deadline sits just a month away, and rumors are already beginning to swirl. From players who could be traded to what contending teams will be looking for, there’s lots of excitement this time of year. The Phillies are currently sitting three games behind the Braves for the NL East lead and half […] The post Which Prospects Could the Phillies Trade at the Deadline? appeared first on The Lead .
The Atlanta Braves could badly use a win as they will be facing the reigning Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes and the Pirates. Hurston Waldrep will be taking the mound for his second start of the season, and other than a shaky first inning, he looked like he is ready to come back and […]
The Atlanta Braves visit the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at PNC Park, with Paul Skenes set to headline the matchup on the mound. How to Watch Braves vs Pirates Skenes gets the ball for Pittsburgh in the series opener,…
Ahead of Tuesday’s series opener with the Pirates, Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman had a couple of injury updates on some critical pieces. Ronald Acuña Jr. is getting close to returning. Walt Weiss said he could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week, which could mean we see him back in the Braves […]
Quick Background of Michael Soroka. The Braves drafted him in the first round of the 2015 draft. Perhaps, 2019 was the best season of his career (All-Star, received votes for rookie of the year and Cy Young awards). In 2020, he was the Braves’ youngest opening-day starting-pitcher in the team’s modern history. A series of […]
After two tough losses in a row, the Atlanta Braves will head to PNC Park to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tonight’s matchup will feature newly returned Hurston Waldrep against reigning Cy Young Award winner, Paul Skenes. Both pitchers have something to prove. Waldrep is likely looking to show he is fully good to go, […]
Perhaps this is nothing more than naive optimism, but it does feel as if this could be the trade deadline we finally see Alex Anthopoulos get out of his comfort zone. The Braves have been treading water for three years now, and they don’t really have a choice but to add if they want to […]
One last road trip on deck before the All-Star break, and the Braves are making some roster moves ahead of tonight’s opener in Pittsburgh. Yesterday it was Eli White, and now reliever Tyler Kinley will hit the paternity list as he welcomes a new addition to the family. Congratulations, Tyler! May the paternal powers bless […]
Ahead of their series with the Pirates, the Braves announced a slew of roster moves. It begins with Owen Murphy, who made his MLB debut for the club last night out of the bullpen, getting optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett. In a corresponding move, the Braves have added left-handed pitcher Connor Thomas to the active […]
The Braves re-signed first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez to a new minor league contract, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The Primo Sports Group client was designated for assignment by Atlanta last week and outrighted to Triple-A over the weekend. Tellez briefly elected free agency but is now back in the fold on […]
The Mets did it again, surviving a late push from the Braves to earn a series split. New York jumped ahead in the ninth inning on a home run from Juan Soto, only to cough up the lead in the bottom of the frame. The Mets scored twice in the 10th inning. Luke Weaver stranded […]
Monday was another disappointing development for the Braves. Despite another good start from Reynaldo Lopez, the Braves gave up the lead in the top of the 9th inning and then lost in extras. The game included the MLB debut of Braves prospect Owen Murphy, who was one strike away from allowing no runs in the […]
The Mets proved they still have the capacity to surprise in late innings today as they won 7-6 against the Braves and split the second series of the season against their division rival. Juan Soto walked three times and hit a three-run home run, and Luis Torrens provided the game-winning double in the tenth inning […]

The Braves have sent right-hander Ian Hamilton outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. Hamilton has the right to elect free agency but probably won’t exercise that right. Players with at least three years of service time have the […]
The Braves announced that outfielder Eli White has been placed on the paternity list. Fellow outfielder José Azócar has been selected to take his place on the active roster. To open a 40-man spot for Azócar, catcher Jair Camargo has been designated for assignment. Azócar, 30, signed a minor league deal with Atlanta in the […]
A hearty congratulations to girl dad Eli White. In another set of moves prior to tonight’s series finale versus the Mets, the Braves placed him on the paternity list. Back with the major league club is outfielder José Azócar. Azócar is on a variation of the Carrasco minor league contract / selection / DFA / […]
Going for a series win behind Reynaldo Lopez, the Braves are shuffling their lineup a bit, swapping Michael Harris up to the leadoff spot and Drake Baldwin down to cleanup. Jim Jarvis gets another start at shortstop, facing the righty Peralta. Meanwhile, AJ Ewing gets the start at leadoff for the Mets and Francisco Lindor […]
At the time that I am writing this, it appears that top prospect Owen Murphy is being called up, but its unclear when he will be deployed, though presumably he will either start today’s game or tomorrow’s. The scheduled starter has been Reynaldo Lopez for today’s game. Lopez is coming off his best start in […]
The Nats are where they have been now for a while which is fun and good because where they are is "about .500 and in the playoff discussion". About a month ago we talked about the playoffs and while we'll go over that deeper in a week during the ASB I want to look at my assumptions about the other teams to see how they held up. If so, it's likely worth checking them out again the same way at that time. Gap would grow between the Nats and Braves/Dodgers/Brewers Wa...
According to Gaurav of Battery Power, the Braves are calling up another top prospect as Owen Murphy is headed to the bigs to make his MLB debut. Per source I’m hearing Owen Murphy will be headed to Atlanta. Last pitched July 1st – 6IP 2H 0R 1BB 7KDominant, unique 4s FB that sits 91-93 but […]
The Braves announced Monday that they’ve yet again designated righty Carlos Carrasco for assignment. Atlanta also placed veteran lefty Martín Pérez on the 15-day injured list due to a left forearm contusion. In a pair of corresponding moves, Atlanta recalled right-hander JR Ritchie from Triple-A Gwinnett and selected the contract of right-hander and former first-round […]
I wrote this same piece last year and some of these names have already been making noise. Miguel Sime is a part of the Futures Game, Samuel Cozart is a potential first rounder next year after going to college instead of signing, and one of the honorable mentions (Cardell Thibodeaux) recently signed with the Braves […]
