The theme of this series so far was something like, “Braves can’t find holes, Rays hit all the homers and find all the holes.” Well, much of the third game between these two teams was similar, as both Martin Perez ad Nick Martinez largely cruised through the afternoon. But, lo and behold: in the eighth, the Braves flipped the script and found a bunch of holes in a row, leading to a 3-1 win that staved off a sweep. To put a fine point on it, the Braves didn’t actually hit the ball particularly ...
Atlanta Braves outfielder Lane Thomas will head to the injured list after left-side tightness forced him out of Thursday’s series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Braves scratched Thomas shortly before first pitch at Truist Park after initially listing him as their starting left fielder and No. 6 hitter. The injury surfaced during pregame […]

The Atlanta Braves lost a player to another team in the National League.
At the start of the 2026 Minor League Baseball season within the Tampa Bay Rays organization, there was no guarantee that first base prospect Xavier Isaac would find success again in professional baseball. Isaac posted to Instagram on November 28, 2025 that he received life-saving brain surgery in July that sidelined him for the remainder of the season with the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits, making his comeback to baseball in any capacity a remarkable achievement. However, the 2022 first-round ...

The Braves are underway with some afternoon baseball as they attempt to avoid a sweep against the Tampa Bay Rays. But right before the game started, they made a change to their lineup.

Go Rays!
Braves try to avoid getting swept / having the division lead possibly drop to two games (where they would be in danger of losing the division if swept over the weekend).
With the Athletics seemingly settled on setting the Fisher family fortune on fire in Las Vegas, and Tampa Bay Rays owner Patrick Zalupski about to receive the spendiest gift stadium in history, the thoughts of bored baseball writers are turning toward expansion. Sure, there’s the little matter of a new union contract first, which could […]
Freddy Peralta looks like he’s back to his old self. Over his last five starts with the Rays, he has a 2.73 ERA and 3.80 FIP while cutting his walk rate from 9.4% with the Mets to 4.5% with the Rays. Kyle Snyder and his team helped Peralta clean up some mechanical things to help […]
Atlanta Braves Game Information Lane Thomas and Brewer Hicklen start against a righty; Ozzie Albies sits Sep 10, 2026, 2:48 PM UTC The Braves sure do love “hey, this guy might have reverse splits, let’s do something about it!” Or, maybe they don’t really love it, but this is at least twice in recent memory that they’ve taken someone who might have… neutral splits, and gone with more righty bats. It doesn’t make much sense to me, but there it is. Lane Thomas and Brewer Hicklen are in the lineup...

Led by a George Lombard Jr. grand slam, a good Will Warren outing, and Aaron Judge’s first two hits since returning, the Yankees cruised past the Rockies on Wednesday night. It wasn’t a victory to remark on for too long considering the opposition, but it was exactly the type of game they needed as they […]

Atlanta Braves Game Information Martin Perez gets the start after an awful showing against the Phillies last weekend Sep 10, 2026, 1:00 PM UTC Nature is healing, as they say. For two very distinct reasons. Reason 1: The Braves, having sauntered to a pretty lofty record despite mediocre production, have been absolutely ravaged by some combination of baseball’s luck dragons and/or the Tampa Bay Rays’ sublime-in-this-series defensive positioning.

Atlanta lost to the Rays again and while they remain in a strong position moving into the playoffs, the offense has been too bad for too long to feel good about this club going into October, especially with the questions that exist around the pitching staff.

PHILADELPHIA — Don Mattingly was shagging fly balls in the outfield at Citizens Bank Park earlier this week, when a ballpark employee approached him from the stands and offered his opinions about the Phillies’ lineup. He told Mattingly that he needed to drop Kyle Schwarber from leadoff to cleanup. Come see the Phillies face the Brewers & Rays from Sept. 22-27! “He likes the traditional way,” Mattingly said before Wednesday’s 11-7 win over the Astros. “I told him, ‘Hey, that home run [Schwarber...
ATLANTA — By the time the Rays get home Thursday night, they could be bound for a trip to the postseason. Tampa Bay’s 7-2 win over the Braves on Wednesday night at Truist Park, combined with losses by the Rangers and Blue Jays earlier in the day, reduced Tampa Bay’s magic number to clinch a playoff spot to two. Rays Hockey Jersey Giveaway is Saturday! The Rays can reduce that number to one by completing a three-game sweep of the Braves on Thursday afternoon. If the Rangers lose to the Mariners...
The Braves hit the ball consistently hard for the second night in a row. They had little to show for it again. Sep 10, 2026, 1:57 AM UTC For the second straight night, the Atlanta Braves received a frustrating beating from the Tampa Bay Rays and for the third straight day, the offense didn’t have a lot of success at the plate. This time, it was a 7-2 loss for the Braves that doomed them to an ill-timed series loss. Things stayed scoreless in this one for precisely one inning before the Rays pr...
Ah, baseball. The Rays looked unimpressive as they lost a series to the lowly New York Mets last week, and I’ll bet I am not the only Rays fan who watched those games and thought, “THIS is a playoff team?” And when they came into Atlanta to play a Braves team that leads the division […]
