Braves News

Michael Harris II delivered a clutch pinch-hit double last night, sealing the Braves' 7-2 victory over the Washington Nationals, a performance that reflects the team's current momentum as they boast a scorching 6-1 record over the past week. This win keeps Atlanta at the top of the division with an impressive 18-8 record, buoyed by a staggering +18 run differential during this stretch. Ronald Acuña Jr.'s power continues to light up the lineup, while Martín Pérez emerges as an unsung hero for the pitching staff, stabilizing the rotation. With Walt Weiss emerging as a frontrunner for NL Manager of the Year, the Braves are firing on all cylinders. As they prepare to face the struggling Philadelphia Phillies, the excitement is palpable, this team is not just winning, they’re doing it with style.

It’s a big night for the Braves partnerships team tonight… Apple TV has the broadcast, and Star Wars Night at the ballpark. I wish I could muster even a little bit of a reference for you, dear readers of Battery Power, but this is one of my cultural blind spots. And at this point, I’m […]

Braves Outright Ian Hamilton
Right-handed reliever Ian Hamilton went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment by the Braves and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, per Chad Bishop of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As a player who’s been outrighted previously (and who has three-plus years of MLB service), he’ll have the right to reject that assignment in […]

Walt Weiss should be early frontrunner for NL Manager of the Year (and it isn't close)
Walt Weiss was clearly the right decision for the Atlanta Braves. The first few weeks of the season have made him an early favorite for NL Manager of the Year.
