• Braves News: Ronald Acuna, Didier Fuentes to AAA, more

Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images Atlanta Braves news and notes from Wednesday We are rapidly approaching - and perhaps have already passed - the point at which the Braves need to be focused on optimizing for 2026 and beyond, rather than 2025.

Photo by Edward M. Pio Roda/Getty Images We’ll probably find out tonight A short one today, and one I already summarized in a comment on last night’s lineup, but now up for wider discussion, I guess. Michael Harris II did not start last night, with a lefty on the hill for the Athletics. Harris is badly in need of a reset, though it’s unclear whether he is actually getting one. If he is get...2025

• Fairchild starts again in series finale

Dale Zanine-Imagn Images It’s been a rough go for Money Mike. For the second night in a row, Stuart Fairchild starts in place of Michael Harris. Don’t call it a platoon. But the Atlanta Braves are clearly over letting players just work it out, and they’re trying to utilize any advantage they can in order to pull themselves back from the brink. This could ju...2025

• Are Stuart Fairchild and Michael Harris in a platoon now?

Photo by Kathryn Skeean/MLB Photos via Getty Images Or was Saturday a rare night off? The Braves are employing a left field platoon with Alex Verdugo and Eli White. It doesn’t matter that Eli White can’t really hit that well and Alex Verdugo can’t really do anything well, but it’s happening regardless.
