Dansby Swanson Has Three-Hit Game Versus Pirates

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is beginning to heat up at the plate as the All-Star break quickly approaches. On Wednesday, Swanson went 3-for-5 with one double, one RBI, and one walk in the blowout victory. His slash line doesn't show it, but Swanson has been solid at the plate over the last few weeks. […]

Austin Riley Collects Two Hits In Win

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley looked sharp at the plate during Wednesday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two walks in the blowout victory.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Smacks Homer In Blowout Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has been overshadowed due to how well some of the young stars in the game are playing right now. However, Acuna should not be overlooked and continues to show his excellence. He went 3-for-5 with a home run, one RBI, and one walk in the win over the Pittsburgh […]

Drew Smyly Escapes Trouble In Victory

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly was not sharp on Wednesday but pitched well enough to help get the win for his team. He tossed five innings, allowing nine hits, three earned runs, three walks and four strikeouts. Smyly was able to limit the damage, but this was obviously a below-average outing for him. He'll […]

Ozzie Albies Leaves Early With Neck Tightness

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (neck) was removed from the game early on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates as a precaution with tightness in his neck. Albies managed to go 1-for-3 and scored a run before he was pulled from the contest. Until we know more about his injury, fantasy managers should consider him […]

Arcia went 2-for-3 with a home run during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears the Braves are going to […]

Ian Anderson Allows One Run In Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was fairly wild on Tuesday, but was able to keep it in check. He went five innings, allowing five hits, one earned run, three walks, and four strikeouts. Anderson ended up getting the no-decision, while the Braves dropped this contest 2-1 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Anderson has a 2.62 […]
