Latest news and updates about the Braves
Remember when I said earlier today that Drake Baldwin would be joining Hurston Waldrep on their rehab journey, just at different levels? Well, as it turns out, Waldrep will in fact be joining Baldwin at the Triple-A level — just not on rehab. Just a few minutes ago, the Braves announced that Waldrep had been […]
With Ronald Acuña Jr. back on the injured list, the Braves are back in the market for a leadoff hitter for at least the next handful of days. After Michael Harris II (0-for-5, three strikeouts) didn’t handle the role well Wednesday at the White Sox, Atlanta will give Mauricio Dubon a chance to top the […]
The Braves announced a slew of roster moves ahead of their series with the Mets. Hurston Waldrep has returned from his rehab assignment and been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett — really just a procedural move. He threw 53 pitches over 3.2 innings in his third rehab start on Thursday and will need at least a […]
The Nationals announced that they have claimed right-hander Jhancarlos Lara from the Braves and optioned him to Double-A Harrisburg. In a corresponding move, the Nats designated righty Julian Fernandez for assignment. When the Braves selected Lara’s contract last September, Baseball America, MLB.com and FanGraphs each ranked him among the team’s 25 best prospects. There were […]
The Braves have officially announced that Drake Baldwin will begin a rehab assignment on Saturday with the Gwinnett Stripers. ‼️ BALDY'S BACK ‼️ The 2025 NL Rookie of the Year is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Gwinnett tomorrow in Jacksonville, presented by @NorthsideHosp. 📰: https://t.co/g1ZpPr2DTQ pic.twitter.com/fHrGN3Htb2 — Gwinnett Stripers (@GoStripers) June 12, 2026 […]
The Atlanta Braves have performed well despite battling injury concerns this season. It seems as if catcher Drake Baldwin will return from injury soon, and the team recently received another important update. Right-handed pitcher Hurston Waldrep, who is dealing with right elbow inflammation, had his rehab assignment transferred to Double-A and he could return in […] The post Braves’ Hurston Waldrep gets big update amid elbow injury recovery appeared first on ClutchPoints .
After losing the first two games of a series for the first time this season, the Braves didn’t even get a chance to salvage a game from their White Sox series on Thursday, with the final game postponed to August due to inclement weather. One could make a case for that being a positive (chance […]
Atlanta Braves star catcher Drake Baldwin is continuing to recover from an oblique injury. The Braves are hopeful that Baldwin will be able to return soon. Grant McAuley shared an update on Baldwin’s injury recovery before the team’s game on Friday against the New York Mets. “#Braves C Drake Baldwin will begin his rehab assignment […] The post Huge Drake Baldwin injury update announced before Braves-Mets game appeared first on ClutchPoints .
It was a busy day across the Atlanta Braves farm system with a few performances and appearances worthy of headlines. The biggest of these was the first full season appearance for Hurston Waldrep on his rehab journey, and even though he had a bit of trouble late in his outing overall there was plenty to […]
The New York Mets (30-38) welcome the Atlanta Braves (45-23) to Citi Field for the first meeting of the year. This is extremely late in the season for these divisional rivals to meet for the first time. The Mets cannot seem to build any real momentum at the moment, but if we are looking at […]
Meet the Mets The Mets rebounded from a couple of real duds against the Cardinals to begin the series, as Juan Soto’s seventh-inning home run capped the scoring in a 5-4 win. With that, the team avoided getting swept and enters play today with a 30-38 record. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, New York […]
The Atlanta Braves were unable to seek a win on Thursday evening, as the series finale against the Chicago White Sox was a washout. The game will be made up on August 20th at 2:10 ET. The road trip has continued to New York, where the Braves face the Mets in a three-game series. First […]
The Chicago White Sox (36-31) already secured one of their biggest accomplishments in the last five years during their home series against the Atlanta Braves (45-23), as they took the first two games and seized sole possession of first place in the American League Central. The South Siders wanted the sweep, however, and will now […] The post Why Braves-White Sox game was postponed on Thursday appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The monsoons sweeping the Chicagoland area forced the cancellation of Thursday’s finale between Chicago and Atlanta. The storms were foreboding enough — with winds rippling the on-field tarp — to quickly dash hopes of a very late game start, which would have been the most convenient option given Atlanta is not scheduled to return to […]
Welp! The Atlanta Braves will just have to lick their wounds and move on instead of trying to take a chance at potentially salvaging this series in Chicago against the White Sox. Both teams were fortunate enough to play through a window on Wednesday night but they won’t be so lucky here on Thursday night, […]
Thursday's game between the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago White Sox will not go ahead as originally scheduled for 7:40 p.m. ET. It'll be up to the weather to d
It’s raining in Chicago, y’all. The weather has not been conducive to playing baseball most of the afternoon in Chicago. Here’s a forecast. Looks decent at 10pm and it appears that MLB wants this game to happen and happen in front of 25 people. Stay tuned for updates. 8:10 PM UPDATE: There is no update […]
Is this game going to happen? Usually I can’t wait for the game, but as I noted in the preview, this has been the least … any positive adjective I can conjure up series so far. Maybe this game gets postponed due to weather? If it doesn’t, maybe the Braves can actually beat the White […]
I’m going to start this off by giving Dugout Radar a shout-out. In case you’ve never heard of it, it’s a website that does its best to give you an idea of how likely it is to see the tarp on the field for any given ball game across Major League baseball. As of right […]
Another year, another potentially serious injury for Atlanta Braves superstar outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr.
The Atlanta Braves have been baseball’s best team for most of 2026, but even a first-place powerhouse can feel vulnerable when Ronald Acuna Jr. lands back on the injured list. After Acuna suffered another Grade 1 left hamstring strain, the Braves suddenly face a familiar problem. How to protect a championship roster without overreacting to […] The post Braves’ perfect trade offer for Cubs’ Seiya Suzuki after Ronald Acuna Jr. injury appeared first on ClutchPoints .
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been kind of checked out during this series. The Braves’ 2026 season has been very exciting so far, but there’s just been a confluence of events that have sort of made me pay less attention than to any other set so far this season: Anyway, put […]
H (33-32) Gwinnett Stripers 2, (36-29) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 14 Box Score Based on the score above, one can infer that not much went right for Gwinnett on Wednesday. Victor Mederos got the start and more or less got shelled. Across two innings, Mederos gave up five runs on four hits while issuing four walks […]
Well, look who’s sitting atop the American League Central. Behind six gritty innings from Davis Martin, another electric performance from Braden Montgomery, and a lockdown bullpen, the White Sox knocked off the mighty Braves. The win pushed the Sox into first place, and if you’re keeping score at home, that’s consecutive nights of making one […]
We’re all acutely aware this is the third series loss of the season, but it is unfortunately the first one where the Braves have dropped the first two games. The fact that it took until June 10th to happen… I’m holding onto that really tight with both hands. Chris Sale’s outing was reminiscent of his last […]
