Braves: Injury updates on Sean Murphy, Kyle Farmer
An intriguing nugget provided by Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman yesterday was that Kyle Farmer would try his hand at catching again on his latest rehab assignment. Farmer has caught 19 games in his career, most of which came in 2019. Not exactly a savant behind the plate, but an option nonetheless in emergency situations. […]
Braves make two roster moves ahead of series finale with Padres
Ahead of their series finale with the San Diego Padres, the Atlanta Braves announced a couple of notable roster moves. JR Ritchie is heading back to Gwinnett after another rough start, allowing five runs over five innings. In his place, reliever Tyler Kinley has been activated from the IL. Additionally, Carlos Carrasco has been designated […]
Braves: AJ Smith-Shawver takes the next step towards returning
According to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal Constitution, AJ Smith-Shawver will begin his rehab assignment this Thursday. “The Braves’ right-handed pitcher is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment Thursday at the team’s spring training facility,” Bishop wrote. “Smith-Shawver will pitch two innings of a simulated game and throw between 35 to 40 pitches.” This […]
Hawks Build Culture with Kingston Flemings, Zuby Ejiofor Picks
There might have been one hundred rumors surrounding the Atlanta Hawks leading up to the NBA Draft. Some were connecting them to star players on the trade block like Jaylen Brown and Trey Murphy. Others suggested they only wanted to pick once in the first round despite owning two selections. But like most chatter leading […]
Yet another Braves All-Star is dealing with injury
If you’re wondering why the Braves were relying on Carlos Carrasco to pitch not one but two innings in a one-run game Tuesday night, Walt Weiss said about half the bullpen was unavailable, including All-Star reliever Robert Suarez who is dealing with forearm tightness. Suarez will play catch today to see how he’s feeling, but […]
Braves: How much longer can the JR Ritchie experiment continue?
The early signs of Tuesday’s game were promising, as the Braves looked to bounce back from back-to-back losses. Rowdy Tellez got the club on the board with a two-run single in the second inning. Michael Harris II added on with a double — one of his three hits on the night — and Matt Olson […]
Hawks take Kingston Flemings with 8th overall pick
Despite a flurry of rumors leading up to the draft surrounding the Hawks, Atlanta stood pat and took Houston point guard Kingston Flemings with the 8th overall pick. The draft fell the way most predicted months ago. The big four of AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson went with the top four […]
Falcons ink three-year contract extension with Kyle Pitts
According to Ian Rapoport, the Atlanta Falcons have inked a three-year, $54 million contract extension with Kyle Pitts. The #Falcons and star TE Kyle Pitts have agreed to terms on a 3-year, $54M contract. Pitts will not play on the $15M franchise tag and instead receives $36M fully guaranteed over the next two seasons. The […]
Braves front office on their biggest needs ahead of the trade deadline
The trade deadline is a little over a month away, and some of the Braves flaws are finally starting to show following a torrid start to the season, both with the pitching staff and the lineup. So, it should come as no surprise that when former GM Jim Bowden asked all 30 front offices their […]
Braves trying out intriguing option at catcher
The Braves announced today that Kyle Farmer will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Columbus. INF Kyle Farmer today begins a rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Columbus. The #Braves also transferred LHP Danny Young’s rehabilitation assignment from the FCL Braves to Columbus. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) June 23, 2026 That by itself isn’t all that interesting. […]
Mauricio Dubon says he’s open to contract extension with the Braves
For Alex Anthopoulos, contract extensions have to be on his mind regarding several current Braves. Ozzie Albies has just one more year left on his deal and is once again proving he’s one of the best second basemen in the game. The Braves aren’t going to find a better option, and he’s been a staple […]
Add another insider to the list who believes Braves will target Tarik Skubal
If the Braves want to win another World Series, they need to add a starting pitcher at the trade deadline. And not just any starting pitcher — a true frontline arm capable of winning a game by himself behind Chris Sale. Nobody fits that description better than Tarik Skubal, who most expect to be traded […]
The Braves’ June Swoon Hits a New Low in San Diego
If you stayed up until nearly 1:00 AM Eastern to watch the Braves try to pull out a win in San Diego, I apologize. But I was right there with you. Grant Holmes started the game, and it was a very Grant Holmes type of outing. He didn’t make it through five innings, largely due […]
Major reinforcement could soon rejoin Braves
The Braves have a starting pitching problem. June has exposed that clearly, with the rotation currently sporting a 5.80 ERA on the month. Outside of Chris Sale, there’s not a single arm on the roster the Braves should feel comfortable handing the ball to in a playoff game. There’s an expectation they’ll be one of […]
A dismal season for Ha-Seong Kim leaves Braves in a major pickle at shortstop
No organization that’s been around as long as the Braves avoids a few miscues when it comes to trades and free agency. B.J. Upton and Sean Murphy are a couple that come to mind off the top of the head in recent memory — but Ha-Seong Kim is quickly working his way up the list. The […]
Where do the Hawks stand one day before the NBA Draft?
The Hawks made their first two significant moves of the offseason on Sunday, bringing back CJ McCollum on a one-year deal and trading for Aaron Wiggins. The roster already looks deeper than it did when the season ended a couple of months ago, and more moves are on the horizon. Picking up Jonathan Kuminga‘s $24 […]
Major Atlanta Braves trade target likely unavailable
The Braves have been linked to All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton for years now. The reasoning has always been obvious. The Twins haven’t exactly been championship contenders, while the Braves have been and desperately needed an upgrade in the outfield. Add in the fact that Buxton is a Georgia native with a full no-trade clause, and […]
Can Bryce Elder stick in Braves rotation for much longer?
One of the most pleasant surprises over the first two months of the Braves season was the resurgence of Bryce Elder back into his 2023 All-Star form — except this time there were actually signs the success was sustainable. When Elder had his brief moment in the sun a few years back, all the underlying […]
Report: Several executives believe Braves are “sleeper” team for Tarik Skubal
If one thing has become clear over the Braves recent rough stretch of play, it’s that they have a lot of work left to do at the trade deadline. The need to upgrade their left field platoon and DH. Some more relief help should always be viewed as a plus. They should probably take a […]
Hawks continue active offseason with two significant moves
It was never a secret that the Atlanta Hawks would be among the most active teams this offseason. The work began in the front office, with the team extending general manager Onsi Saleh, who was already drawing interest from other franchises after just one year as Atlanta’s lead decision-maker. The Hawks then followed that by […]
Ken Rosenthal on Braves adding a starting pitcher at the trade deadline
The Braves revealed the plan for Spencer Strider moving forward. He’ll be shut down for the next four weeks, then take another MRI. If everything checks out, he’ll resume throwing. Following a consultation with Dr. Keith Meister today, RHP Spencer Strider will be shut down from throwing for four weeks and then undergo a follow-up […]
Braves get best possible news on Spencer Strider injury
We finally have the information we’ve all been waiting for on Spencer Strider, and it’s the best possible scenario. According to Mark Bowman, Strider avoided structural damage to the elbow. It does not look like he is going to need surgery, and his visit to Dr. Keith Meister is just focused on coming up with […]
A potential top Braves trade target already receiving heavy interest
The most glaring need for the Braves as the trade deadline approaches is starting pitching. Their current rotation is Chris Sale and hope for the best, with 35-year-old Martin Perez their second most reliable starter. That is not going to cut it come October — and while some internal options offer a potential solution, betting […]

Four areas Braves must fix as halfway point of the season approaches
The Braves are experiencing a type of adversity they haven’t faced much all season. Arguably their two best players are on the IL in Drake Baldwin and Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider just went down with what looks to be a season-ending injury, and they’ve lost four of their last five. The holes on the […]
