PITTSBURGH -- Every time the Braves have moved within one win of a .500 record, they have been reminded that their offense has been their greatest liability. Yeah, Sean Murphy came off the bench to deliver a game-tying three-run double in the eighth inning of a 4-3 loss to the

PITTSBURGH -- Spencer Strider hopes to be activated from the injured list this week. But he understands the Braves have some variables to weigh before deciding whether it’s prudent to bring him back now while also trying not to overtax the bullpen during the club’s current stretch of 17 games

This year, graduation day arrived on May 11. That's when prospects who began the 2025 season on Major League Opening Day rosters exceeded 45 days of service time and exhausted their rookie eligibility/prospect status. Around here, we say that's when they graduate from prospectdom. This year, three Top 100 prospects

PITTSBURGH -- Now that AJ Smith-Shawver has enjoyed the best week of his blossoming big league career, there’s reason to wonder if things clicked for him in the middle of his April 12 start in Tampa or during the demotion he was handed 24 hours later.

It was a day not to be forgotten in the Minors, with a pair of historic performances at the plate, a throwback performance on the mound and a perfectly pitched game at Double-A. Not to be outdone, some of baseball's youngest prospects showed they can stand toe-to-toe with the best

ATLANTA -- The Braves want to become the first MLB team to reach the postseason after beginning a regular season with seven straight losses. But for now, they are dealing with the maddening challenge of attempting to become just the fifth team to even reach the .500 mark after starting

ATLANTA -- Braves catcher Drake Baldwin didn’t play for most of Thursday’s series finale against the Reds, but the rookie certainly had a big impact when he got into the game. Baldwin, who came in as a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the ninth, hit a walk-off single in the

ATLANTA -- Spencer Strider took another step toward returning to the Braves rotation when he threw a bullpen session before the club’s three-game winning streak ended with a 4-3 loss to the Reds on Wednesday night at Truist Park.

On a night in which two Top 100 prospects made noise on the mound, a 24-year-old backstop in the High-A Midwest League might have stolen the spotlight by connecting on not one but a pair of grand slams. There was no shortage of action around the Minors, including a teenager

ATLANTA -- A motivated Marcell Ozuna delivered a walk-off single after Austin Riley was intentionally walked in front of him. Michael Harris II halted a frustrating skid with a game-tying double in the ninth. And a rejuvenated Raisel Iglesias worked a perfect 10th.

The role of the closer has evolved in the past decade or so. Managers are less likely these days to have a dedicated arm for the ninth inning and more likely to save their best bullpen pitchers for high-leverage situations, regardless of frame. Consider this: since 2022, there have been

The 2025 Draft class is more volatile than usual, so there's not much certainty with a little more than two months before the Nationals exercise the No. 1 overall pick July 13 during the All-Star Game festivities in Atlanta. Two high schoolers -- shortstop Ethan Holliday and right-hander Seth Hernandez

ATLANTA -- AJ Smith-Shawver remained focused when he was demoted three weeks ago, and he remained composed after losing his no-hit bid in the eighth inning of the Braves’ 4-0 win over the Reds on Monday night at Truist Park.

MLB Pipeline expanded its Draft rankings from 100 to 150 last week, which brought plenty of changes to the preseason list. While high school infielder Ethan Holliday remains No. 1, there's a bevy of new faces at the top. On the last episode of the MLB Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis,

ATLANTA -- Austin Riley made sure the Dodgers exited Atlanta knowing that despite their dominance in this year’s season series, they still have reason to keep an eye on the Braves, who could spend the following weeks and months reasserting themselves as legit World Series contenders.

ATLANTA -- Spencer Schwellenbach found instant success despite totaling just 110 Minor League innings before jumping from Double-A to the Majors last year. But these past few weeks have been humbling for the Braves hurler, who was hit hard yet again in a 10-3 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday

ATLANTA -- There was a feel-good aspect to watching Grant Holmes construct one of his best starts against the Dodgers, the organization that selected him in the first round of the MLB Draft 11 years ago. But further proving he can be a valuable piece of the Braves’ injury-depleted rotation

DENVER -- During Wednesday’s series finale against the Rockies at Coors Field, the Braves’ lineup was the antithesis of what it had been in recent days. The offensive doldrums in a 2-1 loss to end a six-game road trip were a far cry from the 6.8 runs Atlanta averaged over
