Braves DFA Kinley, Promote Smith-Shawver to Start in Minnesota

The Atlanta Braves designated reliever Tyler Kinley for assignment and recalled AJ Smith-Shawver from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the series finale in Minnesota. Kinley, 35, had a strong 2025 campaign and posted a 3.00 ERA over 30 innings in 2026 but has struggled since early July, putting him on waivers with remaining salary obligations. Smith-Shawver, returning from UCL surgery, has been solid over two starts (11 innings, two runs, 13 strikeouts) and will start Wednesday’s game at Target Field, with Grant Holmes Thursday and Chris Sale Friday on the schedule.

Braves' eight-game win streak ends after late collapse in Mahle debut

Tyler Mahle delivered six scoreless innings in his Braves debut, but Atlanta’s bullpen blew a 2-0 lead as Raisel Iglesias allowed an error and back-to-back RBI doubles in the ninth to tie the game, and New York walked off in 10 innings. Austin Riley and Matt Olson homered to stake the Braves to the lead, while Max Fried spun six-plus scoreless for the Yankees in his first game against his former team. An Albies baserunning blunder in the first inning and a late-inning rally spoiled the night, snapping Atlanta’s eight-game win streak in a 3-2 extra-innings loss.

Braves land veteran lefty Brent Suter as Angels deal Nacho Alvarez Jr.

The Atlanta Braves acquired left-handed reliever Brent Suter from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr., adding a veteran long-man to a bullpen stretched by injuries. Suter, 36, has worked 63 1/3 innings this season with a 4.12 ERA, throwing 87–89 mph fastballs and generating solid ground balls, while Alvarez—once a Braves prospect—has a .216/.277/.298 MLB line and limited big-league impact, with the Angels hoping a change of scenery jump-starts his development.

Deadline swap: Giants ship Mahle to Braves for pitching prospect Molina

Deadline swap: Giants ship Mahle to Braves for pitching prospect Molina

The San Francisco Giants traded right-hander Tyler Mahle to the Atlanta Braves for 24-year-old Anthony Molina as the deadline looms. Mahle, who owns a 5.13 ERA this season, is a veteran with a strong recent track record but has struggled in 2024, and could bolster Atlanta’s postseason push. Molina, barely in the majors this year and mostly a minor-league pitcher, has a four-pitch mix and upside, giving the Giants a young depth piece who could remain in the minors or push for a bullpen/spot in the majors.

Braves' pitching depth tested as López goes on IL and Strider remains out

Braves' pitching depth tested as López goes on IL and Strider remains out

The Braves added Lane Thomas in a trade with Kansas City, but pitching depth is under pressure after Reynaldo López landed on the 15-day IL with left knee inflammation. JR Ritchie was recalled to start, and Martín Pérez delivered a solid effort in López’s absence, while López’s MRI results are awaited. Spencer Strider remains sidelined for the season, increasing urgency to add a starter at the trade deadline (with Casey Mize or Freddy Peralta among connected names). On offense, Ha-Seong Kim has completed rehab and will be activated, but Jim Jarvis has taken the bulk of shortstop duties for now, leaving Kim in a backup role as the club weighs further moves.

Rain Delays Turn Braves-Cardinals Clash Into a Night of Baseball After Dark

Braves ride Yaz's ninth-inning grand slam to 10-5 win over Pirates

Mike Yastrzemski's game-sealing grand slam in the ninth capped a 10-5 Braves win over the Pirates, with Matt Olson's first-inning homer tying the franchise consecutive-games played record, Jim Jarvis hitting his first career homer, and Jake Mangum delivering four hits and three RBIs in a four-hit night. Dylan Dodd earned the win, Mitch Keller took the loss, and the game featured a 35-minute rain delay as Atlanta clinched the series and improved to 54-38 while Pittsburgh fell to 47-47.

Braves’ June woes deepen in 5-3 loss to Cardinals

Atlanta’s offense continued to stall as they dropped a 5-3 decision to St. Louis, failing to capitalize on baserunner opportunities and mounting a late-inning rally that fizzled after a bases-loaded eighth with only a wild-pitched run to show for it. Lance Liberatore wasn’t perfect but the Braves’ bats never solved him, while Martin Perez faltered with a game-tying homer and a later three-run blast, underscoring a rough June. The loss cuts Atlanta’s division lead to 2.5 games as the series heads to tomorrow.
