Mike Foltynewicz Dominates Cardinals to Even Series at 1-1

Foltynewicz threw seven shutout innings, gave up just three hits, and struck out seven batters. The Cardinals didn't have an answer for his slider, striking out four of seven with his putout sweeper. He regains the trust of this Braves team after struggling a bit to end this season. The series is null and void […]

Julio Teheran Replacing Chris Martin On NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran will replace reliever Chris Martin, who strained his oblique on Thursday, on the team's National League Division Series roster against the Cardinals. It's a blow to the back end of Atlanta's bullpen after Mark Melancon blew the game against St. Louis in Game 1. Max Fried will now be […]

Ronald Acuna Leading Off In Game 1 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (groin) is starting in center field and hitting leadoff against Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday.

Dallas Keuchel Rides A Hot Hand Into Game 1 Start

Atlanta Braves starter Dallas Keuchel will take a 2.55 ERA over his last nine starts into the team's Game 1 battle against the Cardinals. The outing will mark Keuchel's 11th appearance in a playoff game, posting a 4-2 record with a 3.31 ERA. It will, however, be his first start in the National League with […]

Dansby Swanson Hitting .300 Over His Last Seven Games

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is 9-for-30 (.300) over his last seven games played heading into the team's first-round playoff matchup against the Dodgers. Swanson posted only a .748 OPS this season but has made significant strides offensively. He still is far off from the potential that was predicted when he was a highly-touted prospect, […]

Tyler Flowers Heading Into October Cold At The Plate

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers will head into the NLDS slugging only .383 over his last 35 games. Flowers will work as a tandem with veteran Brian McCann throughout the postseason and, despite his leadership, has struggled offensively again this season. Flowers has shown better at home (.460 slugging) than on the road this season […]

Brian McCann Carries .664 OPS Since All-Star Break

Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann will bring a veteran presence, and not much else, to the fantasy table when the team opens up their playoff push against the Cardinals on Thursday. McCann can still put a charge into the baseball from time to time, but slashed only .229/.300/.364 in 35 games played since the All-Star […]

Nick Markakis Hitting .292 Since Return

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is slashing .292/.340/.354 since his return to the lineup on September 13. The lack of power shouldn't concern fantasy owners, as Markakis never displayed much power to begin with. But the veteran brings a professional at-bat who can work a count. His fantasy value will be tied to his ability […]

Freddie Freeman Takes Stellar Season Into NLDS

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman once again proved to be one of the best pure hitters in the game this season. The MVP candidate's numbers dipped a bit in the second half, but that did not prevent him from posting a line of .295/.389/.549 with 34 doubles, 38 home runs, 113 runs scored and 121 […]

Josh Donaldson Slugging .551 Since All-Star Break

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson will play an integral role if the Braves hope to go deep in the playoffs. The oft-injured slugger was able to stay on the field this season, smacking 37 home runs and even got better as the season went along. In 68 games after the All-Star break, Donaldson posted […]

Ozzie Albies Streaking Into October

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is heading into postseason play hot at the plate, slashing .333/.394/.564 over his last 117 at-bats. The Braves open up their playoff push in Atlanta and Albies has excelled at home this season. Through 80 home games, Albies is slashing .310/.359/.539 with five triples, 12 home runs and 25 […]

National TV Braces For Ronald Acuna

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna will make his postseason debut Thursday in Atlanta against the Cardinals. It has been a breakthrough campaign for the phenom, smacking 22 doubles, 41 home runs and driving in 101 runs this season. Acuna also has 37 stolen bases and is posting a .978 OPS with runners in scoring position. […]

Ender Inciarte Likely Done For The Season

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (quadriceps) is dealing with a right quadriceps strain and is likely done for the rest of the season. Inciarte last played on Aug. 16 and played in only 65 games this year due to injuries. He posted a slash line of .246/.343/.397 with five home runs, 24 RBI and seven […]

Austin Riley Not On NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley is not on the roster for the National League Division Series against the Cardinals. Instead, Rafael Ortega will serve as the extra position player. The Braves will use Ortega as a left-handed bat off the bench and he won't have any fantasy appeal in the postseason. Riley finished his rookie […]

Braves Set NLDS Rotation, Julio Teheran Left Off Roster

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel will go in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals on Thursday, followed by Mike Foltynewicz in Game 2 and Mike Soroka in Game 3. Atlanta will leave starter Julio Teheran off the roster and go with a six-man bench and 11-man pitching staff. Josh […]

Freddie Freeman Feeling Good Heading Into NLDS

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) said he felt good after taking part in a simulated game on Tuesday. "I didn’t feel my elbow at all. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow because I think I’m gonna be 100 percent," Freeman said. The All-Star first baseman missed time down the stretch due to bone […]

Ronald Acuna Expects To Be 100 Percent For NLDS

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (groin) took part in a simulated game on Tuesday and ran the bases without any issues with his groin. Manager Brian Snitker expects that Acuna will be 100 percent for the start of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals on Thursday. The superstar outfielder was limited down the […]
