Fresh off a 5-1 road trip, the Braves will play three against the reigning postseason champs
After a 5-1 road trip, the Atlanta Braves will return to Truist Park to begin a nine-game homestand, which starts with a three-game series against the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers. The Braves (barely!) took two of three from the Marlins in Miami and then swept the Astros to improve to 12-5 on the season. They entered Thursday’s...

Not only is Spencer Strider‘s UCL injury a brutal blow for the Braves, but it should also be seen as a blow to baseball as a sport. Professional leagues are best when their best players are on the field or court, regardless of your allegiances.

The dynamic duo everyone saw coming.
If you don’t know, here’s the current fWAR leaderboard for the Braves:
FanGraphs | LeaderboardsYes, the best two players on the team to this point of the season have been Orlando Arcia and Marcell Ozuna. You would’ve gotten some decent odds on that before the season.
Ozuna is the least surprising of the two and therefore the easiest to explain. He’s hitting the crap out of the ball. Like normal, he’s...

Mejia allowed just one run over 6.1 innings.
While there were a few noteworthy performances from Braves minor leaguers on Wednesday, it was overall a rough go of it for most of the squads down on the farm. With that, let’s dive into yesterday’s action.
(9-8) Gwinnett Stripers 2, (7-10) Memphis Redbirds 1
There may be some arguments out there, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a better general manager in the game of baseball than Alex Anthopoulos. Baseball

Truist Park, just outside of downtown Atlanta, is becoming the hottest place in MLB. The Atlanta Braves are 11-5 after taking a series against four of last year’s playoff teams and preparing for a weekend series against the World Series champions Texas Rangers.

In what looked like a day where the Braves could not get anything going, they rallied late in the game to defeat the Astros in extra innings.

The first inning looked like the Braves may get something going when Ronald Acuña had a fly ball single that dropped in front of the center fielder and then...
With so many players on the IL, the trade deadline is already a popular talking point among Braves circles. Will this be the year Alex Anthopoulos aggressively pursues a frontline starter in-season?
With Spencer Strider out for the season, the Braves must use an all-hands-on-deck approach to replace him. Losing an ace this early in the season is one of the worst things that can happen to an organization with championship aspirations, but it also provides a golden opportunity for the younger arms.

The Braves look to sweep the Astros behind Max Fried
After taking the first two games of the series, the Atlanta Braves look to sweep the Houston Astros as Max Fried takes the mound.
Fried looked sharp in his last start against the Marlins and the Astros’ starter J.P. France gave up eight earned runs against the Rangers in his last start.

The Braves have lost three All-Stars in as many weeks, which has the national media pondering the idea of them being aggressive in the coming months prior to the trade deadline.

With Ozzie Albies on the IL, we have a new look Braves lineup
As the Atlanta Braves face the Astros this afternoon, they will continue to be without their starting second baseman Ozzie Albies.
Not only does this leave a hole in the position itself, but it is also significant in terms of the lineup. Albies has been a steady force as the second hitter. Now that he is injured there are some serious shoes to...

Max Fried had a great start against the Marlins, will that continue against the Astros?
Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves are set to take on J.P. France and the Astros in the final of the three-game series this afternoon at Minute Maid Park.
There is no sugar coating it, Max Fried has had a rough start to his season. In his first start of the season against the Phillies, he got lit up for three...
Even following a bad break, Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies remained jovial. Albies landed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday after tests revealed he fractured his right big toe on a hit by a pitch in the second inning of the series opener against the Houston Astros the previous day.
Coming into the season, there were a lot of questions about who would be the Braves’ fifth starter, but Reynaldo Lopez has answered those and then some.
Just like most of last year, the Braves have a spot in their rotation that is an open competition because of injury. However, the hope is someone eventually makes the most of their opportunity and doesn’t look back, much like Bryce Elder did last season when Max Fried went down.

Cade Kuehler was impressive in Tuesday’s start for Augusta.
The Atlanta Braves minor league affiliates were inconsistent yesterday. In their two wins they combined to score 13 runs, in their two losses they scored just three combined runs. Their 2023 starting pitcher draftees were more than strong combining to allow one unearned run across nine innings.
