Michael Harris Jr. is dealing with recurring lower back tightness, missing Friday’s game and leaving early Tuesday—this is the second time this month. Manager Brian Snitker hopes he avoids the injured list, though it’s not ruled out. Harris previously sat out briefly after similar discomfort on June 5 but returned with a game-winning hit. Despite the nagging injury, he’s hitting over .300 with power and remains a top contender for the All-Star Game, currently ranked fourth among outfielders.

Ha-Seong Kim’s offensive slump is turning heads—and boos—in Atlanta, with just an .085 batting average and zero extra-base hits in 19 games. The Braves face a tough decision: bench him, trade him, or risk a fake injury to buy time. With Dubón and Mateo ready to step in, the pressure mounts. Meanwhile, the team traded Hunter Stratton for Joey Bart, and Strider heads to the 60-day IL while Acuña remains sidelined.

Pirates pull off a late-night trade, sending struggling catcher Joey Bart to Atlanta for reliever Hunter Stratton — a familiar arm hoping to rebound after a rough 2025. Stratton, once a promising Pirate prospect, gets a second chance in Triple-A Indy to revive his career and stabilize a bullpen in dire need. Meanwhile, Endy Rodriguez steps into the catching spotlight, showing promise as Bart’s replacement. This move signals Pittsburgh’s clear focus: fix the bullpen, not the backstop.

Atlanta Braves pull off a late-night trade, acquiring catcher Joey Bart from Pittsburgh in exchange for pitcher Hunter Stratton—sending Sandy León packing for now. Bart, a former Giant with MLB experience and a .240 career average, is recovering from a foot infection but expected to suit up for Atlanta. He’ll join eight catchers on the Braves’ roster this season. Elsewhere, Mike Trout lands on the Angels’ injured list with a hamstring strain, while Adolis Garcia faces season-ending surgery but aims for a 2027 return.

The Braves just pulled off a savvy move, bringing in power-hitting catcher Joey Bart from Pittsburgh in exchange for reliever Hunter Stratton. Bart, a Georgia native and former top draft pick, is returning home to fill the void left by injured star Sean Murphy. After overcoming a foot infection and a rough stint with the Giants, Bart’s been on a rehab tear and could be ready to play soon. Meanwhile, the Pirates are leaning on Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis behind the plate, while Stratton heads back to Indianapolis — a familiar place for the former draft pick who’s spen...

The Red Sox are eyeing a trade deadline move, with Sonny Gray—a standout pitcher with 8-1 record and a full no-trade clause—potentially heading to contenders like the Braves or Cubs. With his contract expiring, Gray could become a free agent, but if a playoff push team offers the right deal, he might be willing to leave Boston. The Braves, especially, could use his veteran arm to fill a gap and chase a deep postseason run.

The Braves just pulled off a hometown hero trade, bringing in Joey Bart from Pittsburgh to be their new backup catcher. Once a top draft pick with big hype, Bart’s had a rocky path but showed flashes in rehab games and could be the offensive spark the team needs. To make room, veteran Sandy León is headed out the door. Meanwhile, pitcher Hunter Stratton heads to Pittsburgh to bolster their bullpen. It’s a classic baseball move — fresh starts, new energy, and hoping for a comeback story right here in Atlanta.

The Atlanta Braves have rewritten baseball history with bold trades that built dynasties: from snagging Cy Young-caliber Chris Sale for a minor prospect in 2023, to landing future Hall of Famer John Smoltz in 1987, to turning a 1993 deal into a World Series cornerstone with Fred McGriff. Each move—like the 2015 swap for Dansby Swanson and Ender Inciarte—proved transformative, turning underperforming assets into championship fuel. These trades aren’t just wins; they’re legacy-defining moments that reshaped the franchise’s destiny.

The Braves just pulled off a savvy trade, bringing in catcher Joey Bart from Pittsburgh in exchange for pitcher Hunter Stratton — effectively parting ways with Sandy León, whose bat has been quiet all season. Bart, a Georgia native who played high school ball in Buford and college at Georgia Tech, offers a much-needed offensive spark behind the plate, hitting over 25% with a solid OPS. With Drake Baldwin likely to handle DH duties, Bart slots in perfectly as a reliable backup. Stratton, who only pitched one game for Atlanta this year, heads back to Pittsburgh — where he’s been pitchin...

Pirates pull off a savvy trade, sending injured catcher Joey Bart to the Braves in exchange for reliever Hunter Stratton—once drafted by Pittsburgh in 2017 and recently DFA’d by Atlanta. Stratton, who pitched for the Pirates from 2023-2025 before being traded last year, heads back to Triple-A Indianapolis. Bart, sidelined since May with a foot infection, had just 21 games with Pittsburgh but showed power with 2 homers and 6 RBIs. A classic roster shuffle as teams juggle talent to stay competitive.

The Braves are in a slump, losing six of seven games and watching their NL East lead evaporate as injuries pile up. To stay competitive, they’re eyeing a bold move: trading for CJ Abrams, Washington’s breakout star whose speed and power could instantly revive their offense. Abrams is crushing it this season, nearing career highs in homers and RBIs, and pairing him with Acuña, Olson, and Albies could make Atlanta the second-best team in baseball — even enough to challenge the Dodgers in October. But the price tag is steep: the Nationals want two top prospects and a third...

The Braves stay hot despite injuries, holding a six-and-a-half-game NL East lead, but center fielder Michael Harris II’s back tightness threatens their momentum—rested for two days, he’s showing signs of recovery and could return soon to keep them rolling.

Giants’ playoff push hit a weather delay as Thursday’s game vs. the Braves was scrapped—forcing a rescheduled matchup in Atlanta on Aug. 31 and stretching their grind to 23 straight games. No rotation changes, but Landen Roupp, Logan Webb, and Trevor McDonald will carry the load through a brutal stretch. With rosters expanding Sept. 1, endurance and adaptability will be key as the Giants battle the elements and the grind.

The Braves’ rotation is in freefall—Grant Holmes and JR Ritchie blew big games, and Spencer Strider’s elbow injury forces a roster shuffle. With Molina called up and the trade deadline looming, GM Anthopoulos is ready to act. Freddy Peralta, a proven shutout pitcher on his last contract year, could be the perfect fix—adding stability and maybe even a long-term extension to anchor a suddenly shaky staff.

The Braves are in freefall, surrendering homers at an alarming rate—13 in their last seven games, shattering their usual seven-homer pace. Five of those games saw opponents blast at least two homers, a troubling trend last seen back in July. Pitching’s cratering, offense’s sputtering, and bad luck stacking up—this isn’t just a slump, it’s a crisis. If they don’t snap out of it fast, the season could spiral.

The Braves’ offense sputtered again, scoring just two runs in the first 16 innings before a late rally sparked hope — but it wasn’t enough. Down 7-2 heading into the ninth, they clawed back with a two-run homer and other scoring, only to fall 7-5. Their third straight series loss and second three-game skid in seven games highlights a troubling trend: they’ve outhit the Giants and left nine runners stranded, going just 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position. Rookie JR Ritchie struggled early, surrendering three homers in the first two innings before settling down, while Carlos Carrasco gave up two key...

In tonight’s doubleheader, Jair Camargo steps in as the 27th man and emergency catcher, while Drake Baldwin could see time at DH. Carlos Carrasco makes his return to the big league roster, adding depth for the game — a move designed to strengthen the team’s chances in the series.

Robbie Ray dominated with five no-hit innings, striking out eight, while Dylan Dodd’s early meltdown—two fourth-inning homers—sealed the blow. Despite late-game chances, the Braves couldn’t break through, as the Giants’ closer struck out the final two batters to preserve the shutout. Time to regroup fast if they want to avoid a sweep.

Michael Harris II’s early exit due to lower back tightness adds pressure, especially with Acuña Jr. and Murphy already sidelined. Dubon and White stepped in, but the offense needs Harris back fast. A rain-delayed game left them trailing by one, and while home turf could help, their road struggles loom large. If Harris is sidelined, the offense could crater — they need wins now, and fast.
