Who will replace Martin Perez on the Braves playoff roster?
It was announced on Friday that Martin Perez is headed to the IL with back inflammation. He will miss the Wild Card Series and won’t be eligible to return until the middle of the NLDS. More than likely, he’s out until at least the NLCS, if the Braves make it that far. So, who will […]
Latest Braves injury could leave them regretting trade deadline moves
When it comes to the actual acquisitions, the Braves may have won the trade deadline. Tyler Mahle has been the best starting pitcher that was moved. There’s not a close second, as he’s posted a 1.99 ERA over nine starts and was acquired for a journeyman reliever. All the Braves had to do was pick […]
Surprise! The Falcons are a completely different team with Michael Penix Jr.
Falcons fans were put through a humiliation ritual over the first two weeks of the NFL season, forced to watch Cooper Rush start back-to-back games and turn in arguably the worst two-game stretch from a quarterback the league has ever seen. Rightfully so, those fans were booing early and often last Sunday during Atlanta’s 34-3 […]
How does the Martin Perez injury affect the Braves playoff rotation?

Larsen Griffeth’s College Football Week 4 Gambling Locks
After a couple of very profitable weeks to open the season, we flew a little too close to the sun in Week 3 and finished with our first losing card, dropping the column’s record to 7-4 overall–but funny enough, my leans are sitting at an overall record of 13-7. I’m not usually someone who bets […]
Who will be the Braves opponent in the Wild Card Series?
The Braves will host a three-game Wild Card Series next week. That much we know for certain, but their opponent still remains very much in the air — with the Padres, Phillies, Cubs, and Diamondbacks all jockeying for the final three spots in the National League. Arizona Diamondbacks (84-74) Remaining Games: (1) @Colorado, (3) @San […]
What grade do the Braves deserve for the regular season?
This was one of the weirder Braves seasons in recent memory. Coming off their first missed postseason since 2017, there were plenty of concerns about how this team would bounce back with a new manager after Brian Snitker decided to hang it up. Those concerns were only exacerbated by injuries to Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep, […]
Why Robert Suarez’s return to the mound was so encouraging
The Braves added another walk-off win to their tally last night with a 3-2 victory over the Reds, and there were a slew of fun moments — but none more so than the return of Robert Suarez to major-league action. The All-Star reliever hadn’t pitched in a major-league game since the middle of June, and […]
Latest Ronald Acuña Jr injury update provides massive relief for Braves
Ronald Acuña Jr. had the entire southeast holding their breath last night when he exited the game after fouling a ball off his shin. We did get good news rather quickly. The Braves announced during the game that X-rays were negative, and another report from after the game said that the CT scan was also […]
Three stats that suggest the Falcons will beat the Packers
The Falcons enter Week 3 as the laughingstock of the NFL. They’ve mustered just 16 points on offense and haven’t navigated one drive inside the red zone, just the fourth team in NFL history to accomplish that feat, joining the 2008 Rams, 1997 Lions, and 1992 Patriots. Now they head to Green Bay for a […]
How will the Braves utilize Robert Suarez in the playoffs after three months away?
The Braves announced on Wednesday that All-Star reliever Robert Suarez has been activated from the Injured List. In a corresponding move, Owen Murphy has been optioned. The #Braves today returned RHP Robert Suarez from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list, and optioned RHP Owen Murphy. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) September 23, […]
Four players that will determine the Braves’ success in the playoffs
Playoff baseball is all about postseason heroes, and oftentimes, they come from the most unlikely of places. The Braves’ run in 2021 was a perfect example of that, with Eddie Rosario and Jorge Soler winning the NLCS MVP and World Series MVP, respectively. If the Braves want to repeat that magical month, some unexpected contributors […]
Should the Braves be resting players the final week of the season?
An entire country of Braves fans collectively held their breath last night when Ronald Acuña Jr. fouled a ball off his shin and went down writhing in pain.

Ronald Acuña Jr. exits game with leg injury against Reds
From an injury perspective, nothing has gone right for the Braves over the last three years. It’s been gut punch after gut punch, and they may have gotten the ultimate one during the final week of the regular season. With essentially nothing left to play for, Ronald Acuña Jr. exited Tuesday night’s game after taking […]

Braves injury updates on Bryce Elder and Lane Thomas
The Braves have had a litany of significant injuries this season, several of which the club is still hoping to get back for the postseason.

Predicting The Atlanta Braves Playoff Roster (Final Edition)
The playoff picture for the Braves is just about set. They’ve clinched the NL East and will almost certainly host a three-game Wild Card Series at Truist Park. The only question left is who they will play — with the Padres, Phillies, and Cubs all jockeying for seeding in the Wild Card standings. Braves 2026 […]
Michael Penix Jr. discusses the final hurdle he needed to clear before returning
There’s been a lot of doubt cast among the fan base when it comes to Michael Penix Jr., stemming from the fact that he has been cleared medically for several weeks now but decided against playing in the Falcons’ first two games. He attempted to put those questions to bed ahead of his first start […]

Terrell placed on IR Zach Harrison to the 53-man roster Released James Brockermeyer Signed Colby Sorsdal to the Practice Squad — The big news is obviously A.J. Terrell heading to the Injured Reserve. He’ll miss at least the next […]
Primetime Falcons? A spot where they’ve been surprisingly good
After two games where the Falcons didn’t even look like they belonged in the National Football League, one of the top narratives going into Week 3 from the national media is Atlanta being featured in primetime three consecutive weeks. Admittedly, those complaining probably won’t get too much pushback from Falcons fans. We don’t want to […]
What’s been the biggest success and disappointment for the Braves in 2026?
The Braves’ 2026 regular season campaign is wrapping up, with Atlanta taking home their seventh NL East crown over the last nine years. Postseason baseball is returning to Truist Park next week, as the Braves will host either the Cubs, Padres, or Phillies with hopes of reaching the NLDS for the first time since 2023. […]
Where does the Braves pitching staff rank among playoff contenders?
When it comes to critics of the Braves, the one area they’ve pointed at all season is the pitching staff, particularly the starting rotation. It’s a fair concern given all the injuries the group has had to overcome. Spencer Strider, Hurston Waldrep, Spencer Schwellenbach, and Reynaldo Lopez were all expected to be major contributors coming […]
The Robert Suarez Question Could Decide the Braves’ Postseason
With the NL East clinched and the likelihood of improving their seeding over the final week of the season being very small, there are a couple of storylines off the field that matter a lot more than the games — none bigger than the return of Robert Suarez. The All-Star reliever pitched over the weekend […]
Alex Anthopoulos discusses pitching plans for Braves Wild Card Series
Unless the Dodgers totally collapse this week and the Braves win out, Atlanta is going to be hosting a three-game Wild Card series at Truist Park, facing either the Padres, Cubs, or Phillies. The scary part about that is pretty much anything can happen in a three-game series, especially when facing teams of that caliber. […]
