Braves' AJ Smith-Shawver: Not ready for activation
Smith-Shawver (elbow) will make at least one more rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett, Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Smith-Shawver is in the final stages of his recovery from June 2025 Tommy John surgery. but he's not quite there yet. The 23-year-old right-hander built up to 58 pitches (28 strikes) with Gwinnett on Saturday, but the results weren't pretty as he gave up two runs on five hits and three walks over 2.1 innings. On the bright side, his fastball sat 95-97 mph and topped out at 98.7 mph before he began to fade in his third and final frame. Smith-Shawver's rehab assignment runs out July 29, and if Atlanta decides to max that out, he could fit in three more starts before coming off the IL.

Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Cleared for rehab assignment
Atlanta announced Monday that Kim (finger) will begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.
Kim landed on the 10-day injured list July 4 after experiencing inflammation in his surgically repaired right middle finger, but he doesn't look like he'll be in store for a lengthy shutdown. He'll likely play at least a couple games in the FCL early this week before Atlanta decides whether to activate him ahead of its next game Friday versus the Rangers or have him continue his rehab assignment with a higher-level affiliate. After returning from a season-opening stint on the shelf and debuting for Atlanta on May 12, Kim produced a lowly .068/.171/.068 slash line over 82 plate appearances before landing back on the shelf. He'll likely have to settle for a reserve role in the middle infield once he's reinstated.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Starting up rehab assignment in FCL
Atlanta announced that Acuna (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Monday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.
Acuna has been on the shelf for just over a month due to a left hamstring strain, but after recently resuming full baseball activities, he's been given the green light to advance to the final step of his recovery process. Atlanta hasn't revealed how long of a rehab assignment Acuna will require prior to being activated, but if he experiences no setbacks while playing in the FCL early in the week, it's conceivable that he'll be ready to go for the big club's first game out of the All-Star break Friday versus the Rangers.

Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Locks down 19th save
Iglesias struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.
Iglesias has allowed four runs over his last four innings, but he's converted three of four save chances in that span. The veteran reliever was dominant early in the season but has regressed since late May, though he's in no immediate danger of losing the closer job. He's at a 2.23 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB through 32.1 innings while converting 19 of 20 save chances this season.

Braves' JR Ritchie: Fares well in bulk-relief outing
Ritchie allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus St. Louis on Sunday.
Ritchie had to come in earlier than expected after opener Danny Young allowed a run and left two men on base with two outs in the first inning. Ritchie got out of that jam and then turned in a strong performance of his own, running into trouble only in the fourth inning. Ritchie has allowed two runs over 8.2 innings across three appearances in July. He's now at a 4.38 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 44:30 K:BB through 49.1 innings over 11 games (seven starts) in the majors. Ritchie's role remains in flux -- he could return to the bullpen full-time or get demoted Triple-A Gwinnett if Martin Perez (forearm contusion) is ready to go after the All-Star break.

Braves' JR Ritchie: Pitching in bulk relief Sunday
Ritchie is slated to work in bulk relief behind opener Danny Young during Sunday's game in St. Louis, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Young is unlikely to work more than an inning or two before giving way to Ritchie, who has re-entered the Atlanta rotation following Hurston Waldrep's recent demotion to Triple-A Gwinnett. Ritchie's workload is still expected to be monitored carefully Sunday, as the young righty will be taking the hill on just two days' rest after covering 1.1 innings in a 35-pitch appearance Thursday.

Braves' Danny Young: Handling opener role Sunday
Young will serve as Atlanta's opener for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander will be making his first MLB start but is expected to cover just an inning or two before giving way to right-hander JR Ritchie, who is slated to pitch in bulk relief. Since being reinstated July 3 following a season-opening stint on the injured list, Young has struck out three while allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk across 3.1 innings over four relief appearances.

Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Provides lone run in loss
Dubon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 loss to St. Louis.
Dubon got Atlanta on the board with a seventh-inning homer, but that was the team's lone run of the game. That long ball was his 10th of the campaign, which matches his career high from 2023 with the Astros. He has continued to hit well in July, going 12-for-42 (.286) with two homers and eight RBI over 11 contests this month. For the season, the utility man is batting .269 with a .749 OPS over 90 games.

Braves' Reynaldo Lopez: Falls behind early
Lopez (4-2) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus St. Louis on Saturday.
Lopez fell behind early after giving up a three-run home run to Lars Nootbaar in the first inning. Atlanta's offense never mounted much of a threat, leaving Lopez to take his first loss since April 21, which was the start that sent him to the bullpen for two months. He's allowed seven runs over 18 innings with a 15:4 K:BB over four starts since rejoining the rotation. Overall, Lopez has a 3.50 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB across 61.2 innings through 22 appearances (nine starts) this season.

Braves' Cole Dennis: Goes to Atlanta
Atlanta selected Dennis with the No. 112 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
One of the more interesting pop-up prep pitching prospects from Florida, Dennis has a sturdy 6-foot-4, 224-pound frame. He doesn't turn 18 years old until August and already sits in the mid-90s with his fastball while showcasing a slider with plus potential.

Braves' Jensen Hirschkorn: Snagged by Atlanta
Atlanta selected Hirschkorn with the No. 84 pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
The 6-foot-7 Hirschkorn works in the mid-90s fairly easily and has the frame to add even more velocity. He's primarily relied on a low-80s slider as his secondary pitch but also has an in-progress changeup. He seemed headed to be drafted in the first or second round, but Atlanta was able to nab him early in the third.

Braves' Kaiden McCarthy: Lands with Atlanta in Round 2
Atlanta selected McCarthy with the No. 48 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
Atlanta stuck with their organizational MO by drafting a high school arm. McCarthy is a righty out of Vermont who reclassified for the 2026 draft in January as a 17-year-old, and he won't turn 18 until early August.

Braves' Carter Beck: Surprise pick by Atlanta
Atlanta selected Beck with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
Beck hails from Indiana State, but his underlying batted-ball data still got him selected in the top 30. This spring, the draft-eligible sophomore slashed .346/.446/.637 with 16 home runs, 12 steals and more walks (12.3 BB%) than strikeouts (11.6 K%) in 57 games. Beck is an above-average runner, which gives him a chance to stick in center, but he may end up moving to left field down the line.

Braves' AJ Gracia: Goes ninth overall
Atlanta selected Gracia with the ninth overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
Gracia has an uncommon combination of approach, contact and power for a college hitter who was available at this point in the first round. A big reason for that is that he might end up in left field, as he's got a physical 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame but his arm isn't prototypical for right field. He primarily played center field for Virginia as a junior, and if his average speed or arm tick up, that would put less pressure on his bat. Still, the lefty-hitting Gracia walked more than he struck out each of the past two years and logged an ISO over .250 all three years of college (he spent his first two years at Duke). He also posted an .888 OPS with a wood bat in the Cape Cod League in 2024. This spring, he slashed .354/.489/.632 with 14 home runs, 15 doubles, a 17.3 percent walk rate and a 14 percent strikeout rate in 56 games for the Cavaliers. He probably won't steal many bases in pro ball -- he stole 17 in 176 college games -- but there's a high four-category fantasy ceiling with Gracia, who could be big-league ready in roughly a year.

Braves' James Karinchak: Sent back to minors
Atlanta optioned Karinchak to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
Karinchak made one appearance after being promoted to Atlanta on Tuesday, logging a walk and a strikeout in a scoreless inning Thursday against Pittsburgh. He'll now head down to make room in the bullpen for Owen Murphy, who was recalled from Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Braves' Owen Murphy: Back in big leagues
Atlanta recalled Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
Murphy was sent down to the minors earlier in the week after conceding two runs (one earned) in one inning against the Mets during his MLB debut Tuesday. The 22-year-old prospect will now get another chance to showcase his talents with the big club, replacing James Karinchak in Atlanta's bullpen.

Braves' Brewer Hicklen: Recalled from Gwinnett
Atlanta recalled Hicklen from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
Since joining the 40-man roster in mid-June, Hicklen has slashed .259/.330/.506 with five homers, 20 RBI, 16 runs and four steals across 91 plate appearances. He'll now join the big club for the first time this season to replace the injured Mike Yastrzemski (elbow). Hicklen and Eli White will likely compete for starts in the outfield until Yastrzemski is healthy.
