The Atlanta Braves have reportedly agreed to a minor league deal with outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen. The 39-year-old has spent the 2026 season with the Texas Rangers, where he appeared in 37 games and averaged a subpar .192 at the plate. He was released at the end of May and according to the transaction log, […]

Bullpen falls apart as Braves drop series finale to Cardinals
The Atlanta Braves had a solid game yesterday and were looking to make it two in a row as they took on the Cardinals behind Hurston Waldrep making his return as a starter. This was the third of six games the Braves would face the Cardinals and will face them again shortly for another three […]
Braves vs Cardinals chat and discussion: Hurston Waldrep vs Dustin May
The Atlanta Braves are taking on the St. Louis Cardinals looking to secure their first series win since the twentieth of June, almost two full weeks ago. Hurston Waldrep is making his much anticipated first start of the season after making one appearance this year where he went two innings. It will be interesting to […]
Walt Weiss provides update on Sean Murphy, discusses Jim Jarvis and bullpen options
We’re just under an hour away from first pitch at Truist Park and there’s going to be a bit of a new look both on the mound and out in the field for the third game of this series between the Atlanta Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals. Hurston Waldrep is set to make his […]
Jim Jarvis in lineup as Braves face Cardinals
The Atlanta Braves had the worst offense in MLB in the month of June after having one of the best in the previous months. Some of that had to do with injuries, and regression to the mean of some players overperforming their underlying metrics, but a lot of it had to do with key players […]
Hurston Waldrep to make first start of 2026 for the Braves vs Cardinals
The Atlanta Braves are in position to win their first series since June twentieth as they take on the Cardinals in the finale this evening. Hurston Waldrep is set to make his second appearance this season and his first start since late September last year. Waldrep was touching speeds upwards of ninety-nine MPH before he […]
Braves biweekly: awful
No snappy post-colon headline here. I can’t think of a better way to describe the Braves over the last two weeks, or in June as a whole, other than awful. While I’ll get to the actual horrendous stats in a bit, I do want to indicate that things aren’t awful because the Braves lost a […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Eric Hartman homers to post 20/30 season
Eric Hartman will get most of the headlines for his historic achievement — seeing as though we’re not even at the break yet — and rightfully so. But the pitching down on the farm was downright excellent as well on Wednesday. So, without further ado, let’s break down what happened. (42-40) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (34-49) […]
Braves recall Jim Jarvis, DFA Rowdy Tellez
After last night’s victory, the Braves are shuffling their bench once again. Or, maybe, their not-quite-bench: This will be Jim Jarvis’ second stint in Atlanta. The 25-year-old infielder made his MLB debut on the Braves’ West Coast trip to Seattle and Los Angeles earlier this season, where he made two starts and collected a single […]
The 2026 Braves are cooked if… ?
Let’s see if you can be clever. Or at least funny. Here’s my answer: despite their current division lead and overall record, the 2026 Braves will collapse out of the playoffs unless they post a top-ten offense for the remainder of the season. The nature of that top-ten offense, eh, that kind of goes beyond […]
Braves News: Tarik Skubal rumor, Cam Caminiti to the Futures Game, more
I think it’s time to chat again about Eric Hartman. The Braves’ now top prospect completed a 20 HR, 30 SB season on July 1st, through 71 games of his season. He was also ranked the 25th prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America and it’s getting easier every day to see him in […]
Ozzie Albies, excellent pitching, and late offense power Braves win over Cardinals, 5-1
Hello, July. Hello, elusive win No. 50. Hello and safe travels to Mexico, English World Cup fan contingent. Braves Country, there was a lot to like about tonight’s 5-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. But first, the wink heard ‘round the world. The offense would eventually come alive late after being pretty dormant (again), […]
Braves vs. Cardinals Chat and Discussion: Reynaldo López vs. Michael McGreevy
Game Notes Pitching preview Lineups ICYMI Braves Minor League Recap: AJ Smith-Shawver Strong in Rehab
Dominic Smith at DH and Mike Yastrzemski in RF in Game 2 vs. the Cardinals
June swoon is OUT. Fly high July is IN. We would very much like to see the Braves get back to playing watchable baseball. Decent, even, if they feel so inclined. With a rough month in the rearview, it’s time for the Braves to take advantage of a little mental reset that the first of […]
Reynaldo López takes the mound to start for the Braves versus St. Louis
Someone (rightfully) corrected me that the Sunday series finale versus the Giants was not the end of June, as we had one more left to play on June 30. In my defense, I was thinking it was the last series of the month, and thus it was basically done. Well, June said “I got one […]
Braves top prospect Cam Caminiti selected to NL roster for 2026 All-Star Futures Game
With the calendar flipping from June to July, that means that the MLB All-Star Game is now on the immediate horizon along with the MLB Draft as well. The intersection of all of that is the All-Star Futures Game, where some of the most promising prospects in all of baseball get to showcase their skills […]
Braves are favorites to acquire Tarik Skubal ahead of MLB Trade Deadline, per Bob Nightengale
Before we get into this, let’s address the elephant in the room. With all due respect to the accomplished USA Today MLB columnist Bob Nightengale, we all know to take this type of stuff with a huge grain of salt. With that being said, this is a link that’s been made by multiple MLB reporters […]
Braves Minor League Recap: AJ Smith-Shawver Strong in Rehab
AJ Smith-Shawver is finally back on the mound following his Tommy John Surgery, and he went down to Augusta where he had his breakout campaign a few years ago. Smith-Shawver looked great with his fastball touching 98 in the first inning, and he did so well he was run out for three innings. All of […]
Braves News: AJ Smith-Shawver rehabs, losing streak continues, and more
Atlanta Braves right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver returned to the lineup card and made a rehab appearance for the Augusta GreenJackets on Tuesday evening. He underwent Tommy John surgery a little over a year ago and is ramping up just in time to contribute to the struggling Braves’ rotation. During Tuesday’s outing, Smith-Shawver threw three innings of […]
Walk, don’t run: Braves end June with another loss, 5-3
There’s a baseball saying you may have heard: “you can’t walk off the island.” While it generally pertains to MLB’s international free agency system in reference to the Caribbean, the Braves lived their own version of it tonight in a 5-3 loss to the Cardinals: maybe some teams can walk their way to a win, […]
Braves vs Cardinals chat and discussion: Martin Perez vs. Matthew Liberatore
You can’t really end June on a particularly high note if you’re the Braves, given the standard you’ve set… but a win’s better than not a win and a loss would, once again, suck.
Braves’ Tuesday lineup could be a weird splits gamble
Not much in the results department to talk about, so let’s talk about process. The Braves’ lineup today is a bit of a shuffle, but all the lefties are at the top. Drake Baldwin is leadoff, then Matt Olson is third, and Michael Harris II is fourth. A procession of righties follows, including Eli White […]
Braves return home to cap miserable June, face Cardinals
Urgh, June 2026. It was not a good month. The Braves are 9-13 so far, and lost five series (including a sweep) while only winning three. Two of those three came at the beginning of the month, too, so it’s basically been a disaster of a stretch for a team that played like they were […]
AJ Smith-Shawver officially beginning rehab assignment in Augusta
The AJ Smith-Shawver news that Braves president of baseball operations and general manager Alex Anthopoulos shared last week in an interview with BravesVision is coming exactly to fruition. The right-handed pitcher is set to officially begin his rehab assignment Tuesday night with Single-A Augusta, the Braves announced Tuesday morning. Smith-Shawver’s first rehab start is slated […]
