Ian Anderson To Begin Rehab Assignment Thursday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday. He was throwing off a mound last week and hasn't felt any discomfort since then.

Freddie Freeman Belts 24th Homer On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is looking nearing unstoppable at the plate right now. On Tuesday, he went 3-for-4 with a home run off lefty Jon Lester in the second inning.

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects: Week 19

The trade winds blew long and hard through Major League Baseball last week. As the dust begins to settle around the league, many prospects have been impacted in different ways — although the moves affected prospects from a dynasty perspective more so than from a 2021 redraft angle. The list lost Reid Detmers — who […]

Austin Riley Knocks In Lone Run On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley was seemingly the only offense for this team on Sunday. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI during Sunday's close to 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Riley slapped an RBI single in the sixth inning off righty John Curtiss as the only run for this offense. It was a frustrating […]

Charlie Morton Gets Tough Luck Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton was solid on the mound, but was saddled with the loss on Sunday. He went six innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, and six strikeouts in the 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Braves offense didn't help Morton, but at least fantasy managers got a solid outing […]

Huascar Ynoa Gets Lit Up During Rehab Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) was not sharp during his rehab start in Single-A Rome on Sunday. He only pitched two innings, eight hits allowed, six runs allowed, while striking out two. The most important thing is that Ynoa is healthy and back on the mound. He has been sidelined since mid-May due […]
