Sean Murphy status for Cubs series uncertain, Eli White in concussion protocol
Catcher Sean Murphy has had rotten injury luck since joining the Atlanta Braves via trade prior to the 2023 season. He’s only once played in more than 100 games since becoming a Braves and in 2026 he made his season debut on this past road trip after missing the end of the 2025 season and […]
Braves at Dodgers series recap: The West Coast is the Best Coast for Atlanta, for once
Well, would you look at that? Following a disappointing series loss in Seattle that brought their lengthy streak without series losses to a close, there was every possibility that things could’ve taken a turn for the worse with a trip to the house of horrors that is Dodger Stadium. While the Dodgers have seemed somewhat […]
Second straight 7-2 victory secures Braves series win vs. Dodgers
In the “he can’t keep getting away with this” starter battle, it was Bryce Elder who came out on top as the winning pitcher. With some drama, I must say upfront. But even though Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski outlasted Elder, you’d take Elder’s final line every day. This was a fascinating pitching duel: both Elder […]
Eli White exits game after making spectacular running catch into the wall
The Braves are currently putting it all on the line in an attempt to pull off a rare series win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. One of the biggest examples of that has been Eli White’s performance in this game. In an extremely high-leverage situation where the Dodgers had Max Muncy at the plate […]

Sean Murphy hitting eighth and catching as Braves seek rubber game win in Dodgers series finale
The Braves will be trying to win on Mother’s Day for the first time since 2022. Walt Weiss has penciled in a very similar lineup to the one that drove in seven runs in last night’s equalizer. The one change is Eli White (still in right field, batting seventh) flipping spots with Sean Murphy (catching, […]
Bryce Elder and Justin Wrobleski set for Mother’s Day matchup to close West Coast road trip
The Braves are trying to win it today, not just for the series. They gotta do it #ForTheMoms. I’d had a vague feeling that the Braves didn’t have a great track record on Mother’s Day, not based on any specific memories. However, my recency bias was not completely unfounded: it turns out Atlanta have lost […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Homers everywhere on Saturday
Saturday was a day filled with not just home runs, but prospect home runs. In total four games got played, with the Columbus doubleheader being rained out, and nine homers were hit by members of the Atlanta Braves farm system – including a pair of two-homer games by Logan Braunschweig and Colby Jones. We also […]
Who is Braves Baseball to you?
This week, we lost two key figures on Atlanta Braves history. Ted Turner accumulated discounted media, bought the Atlanta Braves, and built and rode the cable television wave to a fortune and brought the America’s Team to millions across the country. Bobby Cox served forty plus years in baseball and helped build, nurture, and inspire […]

Spencer Strider superb as Braves take down Dodgers, 7-2
Behind a stellar performance from Spencer Strider and an opportunistic offensive attack early, the Braves shook off their Dodger Stadium demons for at least one night to even up the series with a 7-2 win. Strider became the story on Saturday night, working six nearly perfect shutout innings. His slider was virtually un-hittable with a […]

Mauricio Dubon leads off, manning left field as Braves look to even series
Well losing the Chris Sale game was really not what the doctor ordered for the Braves playing at the Dodgers, particularly the way that the game was lost, but they have a chance to even things up tonight behind Spencer Strider. There are a number of notable changes to the Braves’ lineup, as Mauricio Dubon […]
Remembering Bobby Cox, iconic manager of the Atlanta Braves
Earlier this afternoon, the Atlanta Braves announced the passing of Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox. He was 84. In six decades in the organization, Cox spent two separate stints as Braves manager; served as the team’s general manager; and was a player with the organization’s minor leagues prior to the beginning of his coaching […]
Spencer Strider looks to bounce back for Braves against the Dodgers
The Braves face the Los Angeles Deathstars in game 2 of their weekend 3-game series and this is the game with the biggest name value in the pitching matchup, as Spencer Strider faces off with Blake Snell. Strider’s first outing of the season last week went pretty poorly in Colorado, but it was also in […]

(23-13) Gwinnett Stripers 9, (13-23) Norfolk Tide 1 (GAME ONE) Box Score Owen Murphy dominated […]
Was Michael Harris safe?

Braves News: Ronald Acuña Jr. update, Chris Sale filthy, and more
The Atlanta Braves received some unfortunate news when outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was placed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain earlier this week. However, he is eligible to return on Wednesday, and Mark Bowman of MLB.com reported that a timely return is plausible. Acuña was seen doing some agility exercises ahead of […]
Braves squander opportunities, fall to Dodgers in series opener
Dodger Stadium has been a house of horrors for the Braves over the years, and it continued to be so on Friday night as they lost yet again, 3-1. Atlanta had chances to score in seemingly every inning and just couldn’t get the big hit to swing the game. They ended the night 1-for-10 with […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. may be activated after 10 days exactly on IL
Back when Ronald Acuña Jr. was initially diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, there was a feeling that Acuña’s stint on the IL might be a quick one — one where the starting right fielder for the Braves would simply just take some rest before ramping back up for a return within a 10-day […]
