Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves have hit a bit of a rough patch of late, losing two straight series to the Chicago White Sox and New York Mets over the last week. Still, the Braves are in a good position overall, currently sitting with the best record in the MLB at 46-25. Recently, the team got a […] The post Braves get huge Drake Baldwin injury update ahead of Giants series appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Braves announced that catcher Drake Baldwin has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Fellow catcher Austin Wynns has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. That opens an active roster spot for Baldwin and suggests the club put him on waivers a couple of days ago without initially removing him from the roster. The 40-man […]
Today is a much-needed off day for the Braves, who are back in Atlanta and hoping to get things back on track with a win tomorrow against the Giants. They got some, well, mixed news with Spencer Strider’s evaluation, as he’s been shut down for a month and will be reevaluated further. We did get […]
Rejoice, one and all. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year returns.

Baldwin went down on May 19 with […]
The Braves revealed the plan for Spencer Strider moving forward. He’ll be shut down for the next four weeks, then take another MRI. If everything checks out, he’ll resume throwing. Following a consultation with Dr. Keith Meister today, RHP Spencer Strider will be shut down from throwing for four weeks and then undergo a follow-up […]
It would seem the Braves have avoided a crisis on the Spencer Strider front. According to a report from Mark Bowman of MLB.com, an MRI of Strider’s right elbow after his early exit in Friday’s 7-5 loss to the Mets showed no ligament damage. Although his fastball velocity fell precipitously to 88 mph before he […]

He will then begin a throwing progression if that scan is clear. 11:54am: The Braves received good news on injured right-hander Spencer Strider following an MRI on his throwing elbow. Imaging did not […]
It’s true that Tarik Skubal might not be available for the Cleveland Guardians. And maybe the Tigers would trade their star pitcher to the Braves. But here is the Guardians’ perfect trade offer for Skubal. Even with the recent injury to Jose Ramirez, the Guardians are in the thick of things in the American League […] The post Guardians’ perfect trade for Tigers’ Tarik Skubal appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Major League Baseball has released the first round of updates for All-Star voting for this year’s MLB All-Star Game, which will be taking place in Philadelphia this season.

After Spencer Strider's injury scare over the weekend, the Atlanta Braves could use another frontline starting pitcher. Look no further than San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb.
The New York Mets have been up and down over the last few weeks, recently having a successful weekend by winning two out of three against the divisional rival Atlanta Braves. Still, overall, it’s been a frustrating season for New York, which currently sits at 32-39 and in last place in the NL East. Recently, […] The post Mets dealt another injury, this one to promising young pitcher appeared first on ClutchPoints .
There’s no place like home and the Atlanta Braves will surely be grateful to have spent some time in their own respective beds instead of what they had to deal during what ended up being a terrible road trip against the White Sox and Mets. With that being said, it’s not like the Braves are […]
We finally have the information we’ve all been waiting for on Spencer Strider, and it’s the best possible scenario. According to Mark Bowman, Strider avoided structural damage to the elbow. It does not look like he is going to need surgery, and his visit to Dr. Keith Meister is just focused on coming up with […]
The most glaring need for the Braves as the trade deadline approaches is starting pitching. Their current rotation is Chris Sale and hope for the best, with 35-year-old Martin Perez their second most reliable starter. That is not going to cut it come October — and while some internal options offer a potential solution, betting […]
Sometimes a team just needs to be left to do what they are doing with no scrutiny. There isn't a real tell if the Nats are that type of team but it is clear they have been working out of the spot light for longer they might have in a typical sports year. However this year we had a NY title in basketball with all those stars out, we had a crazy start to the Stanley Cup, and now we have the World Cup going on. In baseball the best teams are the Braves, Dodgers and Yankees...
The Braves are experiencing a type of adversity they haven’t faced much all season. Arguably their two best players are on the IL in Drake Baldwin and Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider just went down with what looks to be a season-ending injury, and they’ve lost four of their last five. The holes on the […]

Meet the Mets With little in the way of problems or roadblocks, the Mets continued New York’s good weekend with a win on Sunday and a series victory over those dastardly Braves.

It was a tough week for the Atlanta Braves, as they finished 1-4 for the week as a whole after losing to the Mets 8-1 on Sunday. While the Braves were the best team in baseball on the road entering the week, every team is bound to have these stretches at least a few times […]
First off, we’re not going to waste too much time with pleasantries here. That’s because we’ve got to talk about the rain-shortened White Sox series. Do I necessarily want to talk about that series (or either one of these series)? Absolutely not but at the same time (to paraphrase a crazy person), these games must […]
The Mets and Freddy Peralta had a wonderful day at the ballpark, continuing the good vibes for orange and blue New York teams this weekend (congratulations to the Knicks!!!!), beating the Braves 8-1 to take the weekend series against their division rivals. The first inning was a rocky one for Peralta, which is not suggested […]
