Atlanta Braves news and notes from Wednesday
What was another rotten day off the field for the Braves turned into a good day on the field, which has been too rare recently. Spencer Schwellenbach went to the IL with a fractured elbow and his return this season is very much in question. That may be the final nail in the coffin for this Braves team, as the rotation has been wrecked with injuries. Grant Holmes is the only remaining member of the Opening...

Despite everybody else getting a significant head start on him, Ronald Acuña Jr. has been voted into the MLB All-Star Game as a starter.
The votes are in when it comes to MLB All-Star Game balloting to decide the starters for both the American League and the National League’s starters. Despite having started the season on the IL as he was still recovering from a torn ACL costing him most of the 2024 season, Ronald Acuña Jr. hit...

The Braves look to even up the series
The Atlanta Braves got blanked by the Angels last night and look to even up the series as rookie Didier Fuentes makes the third start of his young career.
Fuentes has struggled mightily so far, but one area of strength has been his control. He has only walked one hitter so far. The issue is that hitters are not swinging and missing often. With a whiff rate of...
The Astros today have selected the contract of infielder Zack Short. He takes the active roster spot of fellow infielder Luis Guillorme, who has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain.
The Braves announced that right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right elbow fracture.
2025 is quickly making 2024 look like a walk in the park, with the latest kick in the groin being a fractured elbow for Spencer Schwellenbach, who will be sidelined until at least September.

Another stunning gut punch of an injury for the Braves
This has been a busy day for Atlanta Braves news, which is usually a bad sign with the way things have gone for the better part of this season and last season as well. As it turns out, we have some more bad news to share as another Braves pitcher has gone on the shelf with an injury that has seemingly come out of the blue.
This time, it’s Spencer Schwellenbach. At some point during his great...

The Braves offense hopes to get a spark from their biggest offseason acquisition
The Atlanta Braves got blanked for zero runs for the seventh time this season when they faced the Angels last night. It is no secret to this point that the offense has been the main reason for the Braves subpar season. They currently rank eighteenth in MLB in terms of wRC+ and twenty-first in runs scored.
The sad part is that you...
The Atlanta Braves are designating Alex Verdugo for assignment to make room for fellow outfielder Jurickson Profar, The Athletic reported Wednesday. Profar is eligible to return on Wednesday from an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.
The rest of the Braves’ season might be focused on the individual silver linings because this group as a whole is one big disappointment. Last night, there were a couple, beginning with Grant Holmes, who put up six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts, and has become one of the few gems of this depressing campaign.
It seems like the past season and a half have been gut punch after gut punch as a Braves fan. Every time any sort of positive development emerges, it’s usually followed by a crushing one, and the latest example is Jurickson Profar‘s return being overshadowed by Spencer Schwellenbach‘s fractured elbow.

Didier Fuentes gets the ball, and it looks like Profar will be starting
The Atlanta Braves will be facing the Angels again after the offense failed to score a run yet again. Grant Holmes had one of the best starts of his career and the offense could not come through.
It has been clear over the past few weeks that the offense lives and dies depending on how Matt Olson and Ronald Acuña Jr. perform. That needs...
Caminiti has found success in his return to Augusta and remains rated on Pipeline’s top 100
Following the graduation of Drake Baldwin and AJ Smith-Shawver this season the Atlanta Braves have found themselves once again facing a dearth of top-end talent in the system. Yet one player still remains who gets near-universal love, and that is last season’s first round pick Cam Caminiti. He once again gets love from a national publication, with MLB Pipeline ranking him as the 61st best...
The Braves have designated outfielder Alex Verdugo for assignment, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Verdugo’s spot on the roster will go to fellow outfielder Jurickson Profar, who will be reinstated from the restricted list after serving an 80-game PED ban.
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Atlanta Braves are designating Alex Verdugo for assignment, clearing a roster spot for Jurickson Profar, who is making his return from an 80-game PED suspension.
The Atlanta Braves made two significant roster moves ahead of Wednesday’s game, signaling a shift in their outfield strategy. The club activated outfielder Jurickson Profar following his 80-game suspension and, in a corresponding move, designated veteran Alex Verdugo for assignment.
The Atlanta Braves designated Alex Verdugo for assignment on Wednesday. This news will reportedly lead to the team reinstating Jurickson Profar. His stint with the Braves was an unsuccessful one.
