These hit by pitch injuries are getting tiresome
The Braves lost a lot of hitters due to being struck by errant pitches in the second half of 2024. That trend has continued in 2025. Sean Murphy has been shelved for six to eight weeks for a HBP. Austin Riley was removed from a game for the same yesterday. Orlando Arcia was struck as well yesterday. It just doesn’t seem to end.
In the 1990s and 2000s a team would retaliate by hitting the...

Atlanta Braves news and notes from Friday.
The Atlanta Braves faced a scary situation during Friday’s spring matchup when Austin Riley was forced to exit after taking a pitch to his right hand. After negative X-rays and a clear CT scan, he is considered day-to-day.

Ronald Acuna Jr. will be all about self-preservation as he returns from his second ACL tear.

Drake Baldwin also delivered an RBI single as he continued to have a productive spring
Marcell Ozuna made his presence felt at the plate for the second time so far here in spring training, as his no-doubter of a home run was the biggest highlight on a bright and sunny day of spring training action for the Atlanta Braves at CoolToday Park.
Ozuna’s homer came in the fourth inning in his second at-bat of the game after he struck out to start things...
Despite a quiet offseason, the Atlanta Braves still have one of the most loaded rosters in baseball on paper. They are primed to make the playoffs for an eighth consecutive season, and if things go right, they should eclipse the 100-win mark for the third time in the last four years.
At this point, I’m fully convinced some sort of witchcraft has been used on the Braves. The club in 2024 might have been the most injury-struck team in baseball history.

The same hand that Riley broke in August, although he seemed to be OK.
Braves third baseman Austin Riley exited Friday afternoon’s spring training game as a precaution after being hit on the right hand by a fastball. It is the same hand that Riley broke in August last season after being hit by a similar pitch.
Fortunately, Riley seemed to be OK in the immediate aftermath. He shook the hand a few times and was able to remove his protective elbow and...

They’re both going to miss Opening Day but now we have a bit more clarity as to when both players will eventually return to action.
We’ve got a little bit more clarity as to when two of the biggest stars for the Atlanta Braves will eventually make their much-anticipated returns to action. As expected, Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. haven’t been seen in any spring training game action so far but they’ve still been honing their crafts...

Spencer Scwhellenbach starts in spring action.
It’s Friday and the Atlanta Braves are still down in Florida getting ready for the season, which is only a hop, skip and a jump away from getting underway — especially for the Dodgers and Cubs, who are already in Japan ahead of the regular season-opening Tokyo Series starting on March 18. The Braves have to wait until the actual Opening Day on March 27 but that doesn’t dampen the excitement in any...

Completely relatable!
Earlier this week, Drake Baldwin ended up being a late scratch from a spring training game due to dealing with a “reaction.” The Atlanta Braves didn’t specify what the allergy was, so we were all left to commiserate with Baldwin during his allergy woes and wonder what it could’ve been that knocked him down on that particular day.
Well, it’s time to wonder no more, as the culprit has finally been...

Good pitching is symphonic; bad pitching is a trip to the dentist.
The Braves have had back-to-back days with horrendous pitching performances in Spring Training at this point. On the one hand, it’s Spring Training, so who cares? On the other hand, bad pitching is a bit of a drain on the ol’ soul.
And speaking of soul-draining experience, which pitcher’s craft reduced your will to watch (or live) the most?
I’ll go with one seared into my...
