Braves News

The Atlanta Braves are navigating a tumultuous week, marked by an embarrassing 11-run shellacking at the hands of the Mets and the disruption of their schedule due to a rainout. With the doubleheader looming, the return of AJ Smith-Shawver to the rotation brings a glimmer of hope, but the team's pitching has been shaky, allowing an alarming average of 6.3 runs per game over the last week. Meanwhile, trade rumors swirl around potential additions like Tarik Skubal as the Braves look to bolster their staff ahead of Monday's deadline. They hold a sturdy 5.5-game lead in the NL East, yet their recent performance raises questions about whether they can maintain that edge. With the bats of Matt Olson and Michael Harris II heating up, the Braves must capitalize on upcoming games to regain momentum and keep the division lead intact.
