Braves shuffle the roster again as Víctor Mederos returns
It was another night to forget for the Braves on Tuesday, as the pitching staff surrendered 12 runs over just eight innings. The problems began with Hurston Waldrep, who was responsible for seven of them, but continued with Connor Thomas, who was making his season debut for the Braves. He ate innings in a game […]
What it would cost the Braves to land Joe Ryan at the trade deadline
The Braves have three significant areas of need heading into the trade deadline — starting pitching, left field, and shortstop. Fixing all of those issues may not be plausible, but two out of three should be the goal, with the rotation being non-negotiable. The Braves must add a frontline arm, and they need to be […]
Alex Anthopoulos ignored the Braves’ rotation, and it’s backfiring again
The Braves can’t find any momentum. They’ve been among the worst teams in baseball since the start of June, and it feels like there’s a different culprit every night. For most of that stretch, it was the rotation and the lineup dragging them down. Both were dismal all month. But this past week, a new […]
Braves injury updates on Ronald Acuña Jr. and Robert Suarez
Ahead of Tuesday’s series opener with the Pirates, Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman had a couple of injury updates on some critical pieces. Ronald Acuña Jr. is getting close to returning. Walt Weiss said he could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week, which could mean we see him back in the Braves […]
Braves named a best fit for 17 of the top trade deadline candidates
Perhaps this is nothing more than naive optimism, but it does feel as if this could be the trade deadline we finally see Alex Anthopoulos get out of his comfort zone. The Braves have been treading water for three years now, and they don’t really have a choice but to add if they want to […]
Braves announce slew of roster moves ahead of series with Pirates
Ahead of their series with the Pirates, the Braves announced a slew of roster moves. It begins with Owen Murphy, who made his MLB debut for the club last night out of the bullpen, getting optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett. In a corresponding move, the Braves have added left-handed pitcher Connor Thomas to the active […]
Braves are calling up another top prospect, other roster moves
According to Gaurav of Battery Power, the Braves are calling up another top prospect as Owen Murphy is headed to the bigs to make his MLB debut. Per source I’m hearing Owen Murphy will be headed to Atlanta. Last pitched July 1st – 6IP 2H 0R 1BB 7KDominant, unique 4s FB that sits 91-93 but […]
AJ Smith-Shawver lights up the radar gun in outstanding rehab start
The Braves rotation hasn’t had many positive developments this season, and the latest injury to Martin Perez is yet another punch they must find a way to roll with; however, the version of AJ Smith-Shawver that should be returning soon is worth getting excited about. The 23-year-old is working his way back from Tommy John […]
Braves rotation at a crossroads after Martin Perez injury
The Braves fell to the Mets on Sunday afternoon in a thriller — one that started with a flurry of runs, went quiet for a stretch, and then exploded for 11 combined runs in the ninth inning alone. Martin Perez got the start for Atlanta, the latest twist in a wild ride through his 15th […]
Buster Olney on Braves’ trade deadline: Starting pitching help is coming
The Braves have a plethora of areas they will be looking to upgrade ahead of the trade deadline, none more so than their starting rotation, which is desperate for a frontline starter to pair with Chris Sale. The good news? ESPN’s Buster Olney is confident that — even with fewer teams looking to sell — […]
Braves injury updates on Ronald Acuña Jr., Joe Jimenez, and Sean Murphy
A strong end to the first half of the season would go a long way toward the Braves winning the NL East, because after the All-Star break, many improvements are going to be made to this roster. Most notably, Ronald Acuña Jr. is expected to rejoin the team once the second half begins. He’s been […]
Braves make roster moves amid series with Mets
Amid their series with the Mets, the Braves made a minor roster move. JR Ritchie is heading back to Gwinnett after tossing three scoreless innings in Saturday night’s win, with Carlos Carrasco taking his place on the active roster. The #Braves today selected RHP Carlos Carrasco to the major league roster after optioning RHP JR […]
Snub Or No Snub? Braves All-Stars announced
The initial All-Star rosters were announced last night, and five Braves were included. Braves All-Stars Chris Sale Raisel Iglesias Matt Olson (Reserve) Drake Baldwin (Starter) Ozzie Albies (Starter) — For Chris Sale this will be his tenth All-Star appearance and third in a row with the Braves. His revival in Atlanta has been nothing short […]
Braves using last resort tactic on Ha-Seong Kim
The Braves smacked the Mets Saturday night for their second consecutive win behind home runs from Austin Riley, Eli White, Mike Yastrzemski, Michael Harris II, and Mauricio Dubon — a fitting way to cap off America’s 250th birthday. Before the game, however, they announced several critical roster moves. JR Ritchie was scratched from his start […]
Imagining the perfect Braves rotation post-trade deadline
It’s been a rough five weeks for the Braves, featuring an offense that has been the worst in baseball and a rotation that’s fallen off the face of a cliff after a hot start to the season. The latter, however, has provided reasons for optimism over the last few days. Grant Holmes turned in a […]
Rumors: Hawks remain interested Jonathan Kuminga and Trey Murphy
The Hawks still have some cash to upgrade their roster before even getting into the luxury tax, and there are a couple of names that continue to be linked to them — Jonathan Kuminga and Trey Murphy. Atlanta recently decided to decline their $24.3 million option on Kuminga, making him a free agent. It was […]
Braves hoping rookie Jim Jarvis can save them at shortstop
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to 11 months ago: the Braves — expected sellers at the trade deadline — decided to essentially stand pat. In fact, they actually added just as much as they sent away, acquiring reliever Tyler Kinley in a trade with the Rockies. The only player they traded was Rafael […]
Reynaldo Lopez, Hurston Waldrep give Braves rotation reason for hope
The Braves had a golden opportunity in front of their home fans to end their recent skid, win a series, and build some positive momentum heading into the All-Star break. Jordan Walker put Atlanta in an early hole with a three-run homer before Hurston Waldrep could even record an out in the first inning. It […]
Braves ink Andrew McCutchen to a minor-league contract
In an under the radar pickup involving a former league MVP, the Braves have inked a minor-league contract with Andrew McCutchen. Braves sign Andrew McCutchen to minors deal — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) July 3, 2026 McCutchen is far from the player he was when he won the MVP a staggering 13 years ago. He hit […]
Braves make several roster moves ahead of series versus Mets
Ahead of their series with the New York Mets, the Braves made several notable roster moves. Anthony Molina has been recalled to the active roster, with the club deciding to option James Karinchak back to Gwinnett. Danny Young has also returned from his brief rehab assignment, and Ian Hamilton has been designated for assignment to […]
MLB insider: Rival executives view Braves as “favorite” to trade for Tarik Skubal
The crowned jewel of the trade deadline will be the reigning back-to-back AL Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal. There’s an off chance the Tigers decide not to move him if they get back into playoff contention over the next month, but even that might not be enough. Detroit knows they have no chance of […]
MLB insider lists starting pitching trade candidates not named Tarik Skubal
Legitimate trade conversations aren’t going to happen for at least a few weeks, mostly because there are only a handful of teams that know exactly where they stand. The expanded playoffs — combined with the absolutely dreadful American League — have just about everyone still believing they are just one winning streak away from getting […]
Braves: A lot of positive signs from AJ Smith-Shawver in first rehab start
The Braves are desperately looking for anything positive to hang onto right now, and their best hope is guys returning from injury. After spending some time in Florida, AJ Smith-Shawver officially began his rehab assignment with the Augusta Green Jackets last night, tossing three innings and allowing just one run with four strikeouts. We missed […]
Braves continue skid, Ronald Acuña Jr. injury update
In the span of a month, the Braves have turned into a team that’s painful to watch for three hours every night. The rotation is disgusting, the offense belongs in Triple-A. The bullpen… well, we’re not talking about the few good things right now. All of that continued on Tuesday night as the Braves opened […]

ESPN’s Shams Charania is reporting that the Hawks have reached a one-year, $14 million deal to bring back center Jock Landale. Free agent center Jock Landale intends to sign a one-year, $14 million deal to return to the Atlanta Hawks, sources tell ESPN.
