Braves manager Brian Snitker on Ronald Acuña's abdominal strain: “Feels a lot belter; feels maybe like we dodged a bullet there. We'll see how he feels tomorrow. The good thing is that he feels a lot better.”
Braves manager Brian Snitker on Ronald Acuña's abdominal strain: “Feels a lot belter; feels maybe like we dodged a bullet there. We'll see how he feels tomorrow. The good thing is that he feels a lot better.”
Freddie Freeman on Ronald Acuña's injury (abdominal strain): “It's always a concern when someone leaves the game, but with the news that he has a mild strain; not going on the IL that was big for us, so we'll see in a couple of days where we are.”
Freddie Freeman on his contract negotiations with the Braves: “There's no negotiations; there is nothing going on. I'm worried about Taillon tonight.” Freeman added he was not frustrated or worried, and that he does not think he will have any more talks in-season.
An MRI performed on Ronald Acuna Jr. showed he has a mild abdominal strain and he is day-to-day, the Atlanta Braves announced Monday.
— Freddie Freeman crushed one of Atlanta's four homers in the first inning against Kyle Hendricks, leading the Braves to a potentially costly 13-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night.
On Sunday night, Atlanta star Ronald Acuna Jr. left the Braves' victory over the Cubs with an abdominal strain in the fourth inning.
The camaraderie between the two is as noticeable. Ask Albies about his teammate's ability and his response is simple: Anything is possible.
— Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras each homered twice, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Braves 13-4 Saturday on an afternoon when Atlanta returned Sean Kazmar Jr. to the major leagues for the first time in 13 years.
Sean Kazmar Jr. returned to the major leagues after an 13-year absence, pinch hitting for the Atlanta Braves and grounding into a double play on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.
— Kyle Wright plunked four Cubs batters but still left with the lead after a last-minute call-up, Will Smith stranded the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Atlanta Braves escaped with a bizarre 5-2 win Friday over Chicago.
The Braves hope left-hander Drew Smyly will miss only one start after he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left forearm inflammation.
The Braves' young superstar is showing early signs of taking his game, which was great to begin with, to another level.
— Dansby Swanson's RBI single with the bases loaded capped Atlanta's two-run rally in the ninth inning and the Braves beat the Miami Marlins 7-6 Thursday to snap a four-game losing streak.
The Dodgers remain a clear No. 1 at the top -- but there is plenty of movement after that.
— Jesus Aguilar drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning double and the Miami Marlins overcame two homers by Ronald Acuña Jr. for their third straight win in Atlanta, beating the Braves 6-5 Wednesday night after squandering a 5-0 lead.
Tuesday night saw 11 legitimate preseason Cy Young candidates all starting. Their results varied.
— Adam Duvall drove in seven runs against his former Atlanta teammates with four hits, including two home runs, and the Miami Marlins beat Max Fried and the Braves 14-8 on Tuesday night.
You can't deny the math: There are only two dozen players who can be considered truly elite in any season. Here's who will leap onto the list this year and who will drop off.
— Garrett Cooper had three RBI and drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning off Jacob Webb, lifting the Miami Marlins to a 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.
