Joey Bart's eighth-inning two-run home run against his former team put the Atlanta Braves on course for a 3-0 victory over the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night.
Since this is my last pre-draft article, I’ll take a minute to discuss what I’d like to see in the Braves’ upcoming draft class. The franchise has a huge opportunity to add talent this weekend, picking in the top 10 and again at 26, thanks to Drake Baldwin’s Prospect Promotion Incentive pick for winning NL Rookie of the Year.
Despite getting completely and totally blanked for the first six innings of this contest, the Atlanta Braves eventually broke through and ended up pulling off a 3-0 victory in an excellent pitching performance from Grant Holmes and Atlanta’s bullpen.

The MLB Trade Deadline has been quieter in recent years, in part due to playoff expansion, but 2026 is shaping up to be a more exciting one with several big names.
The Atlanta Braves are on a three-game losing streak. There have been too many of those three game losing streaks lately. They’ll now be hoping to avoid tying their season-long losing streak of four games with another loss tonight.
The lineups are out for tonight’s middle game between the Atlanta Braves and the Pittsburgh Pirates and there aren’t too many shocks or surprises going on as far as the Braves are concerned.
The last six weeks have completely erased all the good the Braves did over the first two months of the season. A 10.5-game lead has withered to just 2.0 — and it could be gone entirely by the time the All-Star break arrives.
Connor Thomas' stay with the Atlanta Braves lasted just one game. The 28-year-old left-hander was optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday after allowing four earned runs on five hits in 3 2/3 innings during Tuesday night's 12-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A historic routing that handed the Atlanta Braves another loss can unsurprisingly be traced to a root problem: starting pitching. You’ve heard it before, and you’re likely not far from hearing about it again. Hurston Waldrep allowed seven runs on six hits, two of which were home runs, and five walks.
Being named to the Midsummer Classic is one of the biggest honors for MLB players. These 25 players have a chance to make their first All-Star appearance in 2026 based on their first-half performances.

It was another night to forget for the Braves on Tuesday, as the pitching staff surrendered 12 runs over just eight innings. The problems began with Hurston Waldrep, who was responsible for seven of them, but continued with Connor Thomas, who was making his season debut for the Braves.
The Braves have three significant areas of need heading into the trade deadline — starting pitching, left field, and shortstop. Fixing all of those issues may not be plausible, but two out of three should be the goal, with the rotation being non-negotiable.
The Braves are not having a good time, so let’s do a question that’s essentially a link dump. Or, well, a dump of one very specific link. The emphasis is on the word “effectively,” as we know MLB can and has attempted to tamper with the baseball based on its own information.
The Braves can’t find any momentum. They’ve been among the worst teams in baseball since the start of June, and it feels like there’s a different culprit every night.
Chipper Jones has a diagnosis for what is ailing Austin Riley, and he shared it publicly after working with the struggling third baseman. The Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer joined the Cellini & Dimino show on 680 The Fan and offered a technical breakdown of what he sees going wrong with Riley's swing.
The Atlanta Braves were dealt an ugly loss on the road at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates, 12-4, and it got out of hand in a hurry. They took an early 1-0 lead on an RBI single from Mauricio Dubón.
The Braves announced Tuesday that they’ve selected the contract of lefty Connor Thomas from Triple-A Gwinnett. (Jesus Cano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thomas’ promotion shortly before the formal announcement.) Righty Owen Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to open an active roster spot.
The Braves re-signed first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez to a new minor league contract, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The Primo Sports Group client was designated for assignment by Atlanta last week and outrighted to Triple-A over the weekend.
Earlier this year, Braves fans received their first look at JR Ritchie, who’s worked as both a starter and reliever with Atlanta this season. Now, Owen Murphy is primed to join Ritchie, as the Braves officially promoted the former first-round pick on July 6.
Atlanta Braves fans heard a real Chris Sale debate on MLB Central, where Mark DeRosa gave an honest Hall of Fame read on the team’s risky trade gamble.
The Braves announced Monday that they’ve yet again designated righty Carlos Carrasco for assignment. Atlanta also placed veteran lefty Martín Pérez on the 15-day injured list due to a left forearm contusion.

As the Phillies are charging up the standings to contend for the NL East division lead, the Braves cannot afford to have a black hole in their lineup. It is time to move on from Kim.
