The Braves are in a slump but still lead the NL East—just barely—so they’re eyeing a trade deadline shakeup, especially for starting pitching. Sonny Gray, dominating for the Red Sox with a 10-1 record and a 2.61 ERA, is a top target. But with Boston’s playoff hopes fading, Gray could be on the move—especially if he waives his no-trade clause. The Braves have a history with Boston’s front office, m...

Austin Riley’s brutal slump is hitting rock bottom—hitting just .212, far below his career average and near the bottom of the league for qualified third basemen. Despite being the Braves’ highest-paid player and a two-time Silver Slugger, his production hasn’t matched his resume all year.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Connor Thomas, called up for one game and sent back down after giving up four earned runs, makes way for veteran Víctor Mederos as the team scrambles to shore up a shaky bullpen during a losing streak. Despite strong Triple-A numbers, Thomas hasn’t cracked the majors — but his Georgia Tech roots and local ties make his brief stint memorable. Mederos, acquired earlier this ye...

Despite flashes of dominance, he admits he’s still adjusting and knows he must refin...

Now three games down, Atlanta’s once-9.5-game division lead has shrunk to just two over the Phillies, and with key players sidelined and momentum lost, the clock is ticking before the All-Star break. Can they regroup — o...
