Atlanta Braves' right-hander Brandon Beachy is slated to make a minor league injury rehab start for the Gwinnett Braves on Friday, May 24 at Coolray Field, a 7:05 PM game against the Toledo Mud Hens.

Here's hoping Orioles pitching prospect Kevin Gausman , who will make his major league debut tonight against the Blue Jays, lives up to the hype, because this year's American League rookie class is one of the weakest in recent memory.

Jeremy Hefner's next attempt at his first win of the season does not figure to be any easier than the previous eight starts.

The top high school baseball players in metro Atlanta - including one from Northeast Cobb - will be honored at the Braves 400 Fan Club's Annual High School All-Star Luncheon next week, according to a recent press release.

Gattis did it again Wednesday, hitting his first career grand slam. B.J. Upton and Ramiro Pena also homered for the Braves, who finished off a sweep of the woeful Minnesota Twins with an 8-3 rout.

With seemingly every swing of his bat, the popularity of Evan Gattis continues to grow.

May 19, 2013; Atlanta, GA, USA; Atlanta Braves shortstop Ramiro Pena celebrates with left fielder Justin Upton after scoring a run in the fifth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Turner Field.

Braves general manager Frank Wren and manager Fredi Gonzalez were worried when head athletic trainer Jeff Porter called late Friday night to inform them Eric O'Flaherty was feeling some spasms in his left elbow.

Gattis took advantage of some last-second tips from teammate Justin Upton before hitting a go-ahead, two-run homer off Kenley Jansen in the eighth inning, and the Atlanta Braves rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 on Saturday night.

Justin Upton gave Atlanta the lead with a sixth-inning grand slam and the Braves finally unveiled their full-strength lineup, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-5 on Friday night.

The Atlanta Braves are ready to put their suitcases away and take their first look at the lineup they envisioned before the season.

David Hernandez has been quite sharp over his last several outings. Since his meltdown against the Giants back on May 1st, where he gave up the lead via a three-run bomb in the 8th inning, he's been really good.

The Atlanta Braves had a 10-game trip in the Mountain and Eastern time zones last month and completed a 10-game trip Sunday that included stops in the Eastern, Pacific and Mountain time zones, although Arizona doesn't recognize Daylight Savings Time and was thus on Pacific time rather than Mountain.

Patrick Corbin turned in another solid performance, tossing seven innings of scoreless ball and Arizona completed a four-hit shutout of the Atlanta Braves with a 2-0 victory on Tuesday.

Since his October shoulder surgery procedure, Brian McCann has been itching to get back on the field to prove all his doubters wrong that he is still a top catcher in the league.

Upton snapped a 14-game homerless drought and had four hits to help the Braves snap a three-game losing streak.

Martin Prado was crushed when he learned that he was included in the January trade that sent Justin Upton from Arizona to Atlanta.

Republicans are calling on President Barack Obama to personally address the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups during the 2012 election season.

That's because the Arizona Diamondbacks signed the first baseman to a five-year, $32.05-million deal that will begin next season.
