Atlanta Braves News

After filming a pretty great ESPN commercial with the Stanford tree a couple seasons ago, Jason Heyward is back in the commercial game.

Atlanta Braves' right-hander Brandon Beachy tossed 4.0 innings of two-run baseball in his first rehab start for Gwinnett, and the Braves scored two runs in the seventh to upend the Toledo Mud Hens, 3-2 on Friday night at Coolray Field.

Somewhere in the midst of his four-year absence from baseball and just before he began a stint as a janitor, Evan Gattis found himself broke, hungry and feeling helpless at the end of a five-day trip to New York City.

The Big Apple and the New York Yankees are thankfully in Ramiro Pena 's rear view mirror.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Anthony Varvaro runs in to cover the plate on a wild pitch in the rain as New York Mets' Ruben Tejada slides home with the run that tied the game at 5-5 in the eighth inning before going into a rain delay during a baseball game at Citi Field in New York, Friday, May 24, 3013.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez might soon have another option out of the bullpen.

Brandon Beachy returned to the mound, Edward Salcedo homered to extend his hitting streak, and Navery Moore had a nice start.

This is the story of El Oso Blanco, the man who literally went from cleaning toilet seats to hitting grand slams in order to make a living.

The month of June is rapidly approaching and with it the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, which is set to take place from June 6-8. If there is one thing to know about the Atlanta Braves' drafting strategy, it's that the organization is pretty much bereft of offensive talent.

"There goes Roy Hobbs," Gattis said, chuckling at the thought of being compared to the mythical figure played on screen by Robert Redford.

The Braves make their first trip to Citi Field to battle the Mets as they try to extend their six-game winning streak.

Jose Constanza's hitting streak came to an end, Cody Martin and Patrick Scoggin had great starts, and Carlos Perez continued his dominance.

This afternoon, at work, I was casually watching the live box score for the Reds - Mets game on Yahoo Sports.

As the Braves' top three relievers -- Craig Kimbrel, Jonny Venters and Eric O'Flaherty -- prepared for the start of the 2012 season, they shied away from being referenced as "The Untouchables," a nickname they gained while serving as Major League Baseball's best relief trio the previous season.

RHP Brandon Beachy , coming back from Tommy John surgery, will make his first minor league rehab start Friday, pitching four innings for Triple-A Gwinnett against Toledo.

B.J. Upton didn't quite work out there . Neither is Andrelton Simmons doing so. But fortunately, it looks like the third time might actually be the charm for the team, as Jordan Schafer may finally be able to stick in the all-important table-setting spot atop the lineup.
