Warm

the bats going quiet

A healthy temperature for a reason. The offense at 2.6 R/G is pulling the temperature down. Also weighing on the score: the -8 run differential tells a worse story than the record.

Braves News

Martín Pérez stepped up when it mattered most, helping the Braves secure a late comeback against the Rays, which bolstered their grip on the NL East at 85-61. However, the victory comes with a price, Lane Thomas is heading to the Injured List due to an intercostal strain, further complicating an already strained roster this late in the season. With just a few weeks left, fans are left to wonder about the Braves' off-field decisions, including their flirtation with trading Spencer Strider at the deadline. The team's recent performance has been inconsistent, going 3-4 in the last seven games, and the offense is sputtering at just 3.4 runs per game. As the postseason looms, the Braves need to find a way to heat up before they find themselves in a fight for survival.

Lane Thomas will be placed on Injured List

Lane Thomas was a late scratch in the Braves lineup today. We have heard why from Walt Weiss. I’m not a doctor, but as I understand it an intercostal strain is slightly different from an oblique strain. An intercostal strain affects the muscles under the ribs. An oblique strain affects the sides of the abdomen. […]

Braves Discussed Trading Spencer Strider At Deadline

Jacob deGrom made trade speculation a moot point when the Rangers ace invoked his no-trade clause at this year’s deadline, though it wasn’t clear if deGrom blocked a specific deal on the table. The Braves were linked to deGrom’s market, and according to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman and Mark Feinsand, Atlanta floated moving Spencer Strider as […]
