The Atlanta Braves lost a right fielder with a Most Valuable Player trophy on his mantle and a starting pitcher with a 20-win season on his resume within a three-day span this week.
The stage is set, and both teams are looking to close it out in this early Sunday matchup. The streets of New York are ready to add another win under their belts, but will the Braves put a stop to it?
Spencer Strider is back in Atlanta after having gone on the 10-Day IL due to what the Atlanta Braves were calling “right arm soreness.” It wasn’t just the elbow acting up on Strider before he exited this past Friday’s game against the New York Mets, as his shoulder was also reportedly in pain as well.
It’s time for some Sunday baseball. The Atlanta Braves are looking to take the series against their division rivals in this afternoon’s finale, and the rosters are set.
New York is already in a celebratory mood after winning their first NBA title since 1973, but let’s talk about the fate of the New York Mets, as the Atlanta Braves look to close this series with a win.
Not every all-timer has instant success at the next level. For many baseball players, it takes a few bumps in the road out of the gate before they ever reach stardom.
As we nervously await the diagnosis on what appeared to be a pretty grim injury to Spencer Strider’s throwing arm, the Braves scraped a win in Flushing with their fifth starter and missing two of their most productive bats.
From time to time, Eli White has a big day looming. His latest came on Saturday in Flushing, Queens, as the Atlanta Braves picked up a 3-1 win against the New York Mets. White started things off with an RBI double that opened scoring and gave the Braves a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning.
Martin Perez continued his resurgence by giving up one run over 5 1/3 innings and earning the win Saturday afternoon, when the Atlanta Braves edged the host New York Mets 3-1 in the middle game of a three-game series between the National League East rivals.
The Atlanta Braves have officially hit a crossroads. On Saturday, the club placed right-hander Spencer Strider on the 15-day injured list with right elbow
The only two things rarer in modern-day baseball than the four-homer game is the Triple Crown and the unassisted triple play. The former is, of course, done over an entire season, while there's a large level of lucky in the unassisted triple play.
JR Ritchie gave the Atlanta Braves five scoreless innings of relief Friday night at Citi Field, and manager Walt Weiss said the rookie will slide into Spencer Strider's spot in the rotation.
The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Spencer Strider on the 15-day injured list Saturday with elbow inflammation. Strider, 27, exited in the fourth inning of Friday's 7-5 loss to the host New York Mets after experiencing soreness.
Atlanta Braves pitching prospect JR Ritchie was used as a reliever for the first time in his big league career on Friday—and the right-hander looked like a natural coming out of the bullpen.
Hoping to even the series in a duel of average-ish pitching, Atlanta is batting Mauricio Dubon at leadoff, starting Ha-Seong Kim at shortstop, and DHing Jorge Mateo, with Sandy Leon starting at catcher…whoof.
For the first time all season, the Braves are facing significant adversity. Not only have they lost three straight for just the second time in 2026, but they may have also lost Spencer Strider for the remainder of the season.
In a bit of a rough patch of play and missing two of their best bats in Ronald Acuna and Drake Baldwin, the Braves are hoping to be able to beat the Mets in game 2 of their series behind Martin Perez.
The Braves announced they’ve released catcher Maverick Handley, who’d been on optional assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett. That opens a 40-man roster spot for Hurston Waldrep, who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A.
The Atlanta Braves have established themselves as one of the top teams throughout the 2026 MLB season. Under first-year manager Walt Weiss, they are 45-23 and have an eight-game lead in the National League East over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Hurston Waldrep made his Double-A debut on Thursday for his third rehab start after a couple of appearances in the Florida Complex League, and while the final stat line was ugly, it was another positive step toward getting him back to Atlanta.
The New York Mets have remained arguably the biggest disappointment of the ongoing MLB season as star shortstop Francisco Lindor has been out of the lineup
Following a hugely disappointing 2025 campaign, the Atlanta Braves are setting the standard in the MLB this season. The club presently ranks among the top five teams offensively, while their pitching department is arguably the best in the league.
The Atlanta Braves just cannot catch a break. Ronald Acuña Jr. is headed back to the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain after leaving Tuesday’s game against the Chicago White Sox.
The Braves have once again designated righty Carlos Carrasco for assignment. This time, his roster spot goes to right-hander James Karinchak, whose contract has been selected from Triple-A Gwinnett.
