Braves News

The Braves are in dire need of a spark as they prepare to host the Dodgers following a tough 2-5 stretch where their offense has sputtered to a dismal 2.1 runs per game. Despite a recent win against the Brewers, the inconsistency at the plate is a glaring issue, and it’s time to consider serious changes in the coaching staff to reignite this lineup. The upcoming series against Los Angeles is crucial, with the Phillies gaining ground, the Braves can't afford to slip further. Meanwhile, the organization continues to shuffle the roster, recalling Brewer Hicklen as they search for stability at shortstop. Ronald Acuña Jr. remains a fan favorite, bringing smiles even in tough times, but the Braves must find a way to translate those smiles into runs if they hope to keep their division lead intact.

Braves option Jim Jarvis, recall Brewer Hicklen
“What are the Braves doing at shortstop?” Kind of the recently-eternal question, after the Swanson swan song, Orlando Arcia’s one decent season, and then The Issues since. Seriously, from 2024-2026, the Braves are not only dead last in shortstop fWAR (1.3 in 1673 PAs), but they’re so far down that even the 29th-place team, the […]

Braves Outright Danny Young
The Braves have sent left-hander Danny Young outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. Since he has a previous career outright, Young has the right to reject this assignment and elect free agency, but he may not do so. […]

Braves' maddening inconsistency on offense should force real coaching changes
The Atlanta Braves' offense has been brutal, and there are a lot of causes for that. However, one change that may need to be made is to the coaching staff.
