Along with the injury update we received on Robert Suarez yesterday, there were also some minor updates on Joe Jimenez and Reynaldo Lopez. Let’s start with the man we haven’t seen pitch in a major-league game since 2024.
A strong end to the first half of the season would go a long way toward the Braves winning the NL East, because after the All-Star break, many improvements are going to be made to this roster.
One of the most dominant setup men in baseball over his first two seasons with the Braves, Joe Jimenez underwent a serious knee injury following the 2024 season — and the truth behind it is a lot grimmer than the organization ever let on publicly.
MLB has been awarding the National League Championship Series MVP Award since the 1977 season. How many of the winners can you name in six minutes?
Immediately after the MLB Winter Meetings, the Braves made their two most significant acquisitions of the offseason, inking a two-year deal with Mike Yastrzemski and a three-year contract with former Padres closer Robert Suarez.
The 2026 MLB season was full of great performances, breakout stars, and incredible feats. These are the 25 things we learned along the way.
Joe Jimenez was shut down from throwing last week due to renewed soreness in his surgically repaired left knee.
The Braves have a slew of impact arms on the IL working their way back from injury, including the entire rotation. Most of them are unlikely to return this season, but one that did have a chance to recently suffered a setback.
Outside of Raisel Iglesias, the Braves relief core has mostly come along very nicely this season, and with Daysbel Hernandez returning last night, it could be one of the few positive aspects of the club moving forward.
The Braves have several problems, but the bullpen, particularly in high-leverage situations, is certainly one of them. There literally isn’t a single arm in the relief core that should inspire confidence.
Setup man Joe Jimenez continues to inch his way back toward a return to the Atlanta Braves mound. Manager Brian Snitker said that Jimenez is working hard at getting healthy and being put through "strenuous" activities.
It was a big day for the Atlanta Braves on Monday, which began with Spencer Strider toeing the rubber for the first time since undergoing internal brace surgery last April.
The 2026 MLB season was historic in many ways. These 25 records were broken during the season.
The Braves lost their top two-set up men from a year ago. A.J. Minter signed with the Mets in free agency and Joe Jimenez is expected to miss most of the season following offseason knee surgery.
The Atlanta Braves find themselves in a bind for the bullpen. They’re down a righty with Joe Jimenez missing time due to surgery and a lefty with AJ Minter reportedly heading to the New York Mets. They have signed a number of pitchers to minor league deals this offseason but haven’t made that impact signing yet.
With Joe Jimenez potentially out for the entire season, many believe the Braves will make a notable splash for a reliever. According to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman via Stripers Report, the club is showing interest in right-hander Carlos Estevez.
Despite a recent run of success, the Rays are always looking to trim payroll in exchange for prospects, as they are some of the best at scouting and developing talent, particularly pitchers.
With A.J. Minter entering free agency and Joe Jimenez out for at least half of the 2025 campaign, potentially the entire season, the Braves need to bolster the bullpen.
One of the biggest developments for the Braves in the early part of the offseason has been the injury to Joe Jimenez, which is fitting considering how the season panned out this year.
Travis d’Arnaud had been a critical piece of the Braves since joining in 2020, including catching every single postseason game en route to the World Series in 2021.
The Braves are going to have to bolster the bullpen with A.J. Minter potentially leaving in free agency and Joe Jimenez out for a significant portion of the 2025 season, potentially even all of it.
Coming into the offseason, the Braves didn’t have too many glaring needs. That’s changed exponentially over the last couple of days with Joe Jimenez undergoing knee surgery and the confirmation from Alex Anthopoulos that neither Spencer Strider nor Ronald Acuña Jr.
It hasn't been an easy season for the Atlanta Braves, but they may have scored their biggest win of the 2024 season on Tuesday.
The Atlanta Braves have had some great pitchers over the past 30 years. But the one thing those pitchers have not done during that stretch is throw a no-hitter.
With a relatively calm 5-2 victory on Sunday, the Braves closed out a sweep of the reigning National League champions. Here's what we learned after a wild weekend in Atlanta.
With the World Series coming to a conclusion on Wednesday night, the baseball world will shift its entire focus to the offseason.
