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. After two turns through the rotation, the former White Sox reliever had been by far the Braves’ best starting pitcher, giving up just one run over 12 innings
The Braves got more bad news on Tuesday. After being hit by a pitch in Monday’s game, Ozzie Albies’ toe showed significant swelling at the conclusion, and it turned out to be a worst case scenario, as he was placed on the 10-day IL with a right great toe fracture. The #Braves today selected the
The 180 Marcell Ozuna has accomplished over the last 12 months is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

It’s only April, and the Braves already have a gaping hole in their rotation with Spencer Strider out of the season. They’ll need to fill it eventually, but for now, the only options they have are the internal ones. No team is going to make a significant trade this early in the season. The first
The NFL Draft is just over a week away, and it is the most pivotal in recent memory for the Falcons. They have a talented roster, and they went out and acquired a quarterback that makes them favorites in the NFC South. However, if they want to be taken seriously as far as Super Bowl
The Braves made a surprising blockbuster trade last offseason, swinging a three-team deal with the Athletics and Brewers for Sean Murphy. For the most part, the Braves new catcher has come as advertised. He was an All-Star last season and is one of the best defensive catchers in the sport. There’s not much to complain
Spencer Strider going down with a torn UCL really threw a wrench in the Braves’ plans, not just for this year but moving forward as well.
