Latest news and updates about the Braves
This season couldn’t have started much better for the Braves, at least to date. They are the only team that hasn’t yet lost a series (they did split one, though), they have baseball’s second-best record (behind the Dodgers, tied with the Padres), they’re top ten in both position player and pitching fWAR, and they’re top […]
Well here we are, folks — our Atlanta Braves are 16 games deep into this season and they are in a pretty solid groove. They’ve dropped at least one game to every team that they’ve played this season but they’ve also taken two games off of every team that they’ve played so far. That was […]
The reports of the Braves’ offensive demise were greatly exaggerated. A night after the lineup was blanked for the first time since last July, the Braves awakened with a vengeance, running away with a 13-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians to win their third rubber match of the season. With the victory, Atlanta is the […]

Two teams will enter, one team will leave when the last teams that haven’t lost a series this season, the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Guardians, battle Sunday night in a rubber match at Truist Park. The Braves will be looking to bounce back from a 6-0 shutout Saturday night, their first time being blanked since […]
Saturday night’s middle game between the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Guardians certainly ended in disastrous fashion. With that being said, it could’ve gone off the rails much earlier than it did and it’s a credit to starting pitcher Martín Pérez that the Braves stayed in the game. Now granted, the lineup had absolutely nothing […]
Saturday saw all four affiliates in the Atlanta Braves system in action, as the teams earned a split on the day.

They will also be without Michael Harris and likely functionally Eli White for a few days, as Michael Harris tends […]
Things we predicted in the preview: a José Ramírez homer, and the Guardians fighting hard to even up the series. Both things would come to pass as the Braves were shut out for the first time this season, 6-0. The Guardians put together a more complete performance on all fronts. Braves pitching issued a season-high […]
Martín Pérez will lead the Braves against Parker Messick and the Guardians in the first City Connect Saturday of 2026.

Infielder slash part time outfielder slash emergency late inning reliever Luke Williams will join the […]
Happy City Connect Saturday to all who celebrate. Which, to be clear, should be everyone. Last night’s Dale Murphy-honoring offensive outburst propelled the Braves to a Game 1 win, teeing up the chance for a series win in Game 2 tonight. In case you were wondering, the Braves’ records in the previous City Connect uniforms […]

Michael Harris returns to his spot in centerfield and at the bottom of the lineup, as the Braves hope he can get better results, as he has […]
You have spoken and honestly, your reaction was a little surprising. Given the negativity generated by much of the fan base around Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryce Elder coming into the regular season, only 12-percent were not-at-all sold on Elder’s strong beginning to the 2026 season. That’s not to say most of you are convinced, […]
