The #Braves today returned C Drake Baldwin from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list, and outrighted C Austin Wynns to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Following a consultation with Dr. Keith Meister today, RHP Spencer Strider will be shut down from throwing for four weeks and then undergo a follow-up MRI. Provided that scan is clear, he will then begin a throwing progression.
Braves players currently out with injury
- Ronald Acuña Jr.
- Drake Baldwin

- Hurston Waldrep
- Spencer Strider (expected)
- Joe Jimenez
- Sean Murphy
We currently have 8 definitive major leaguers out including a front end starter, the 2023 MVP (on his second IL stint) and potential MVP candidate Drake Baldwin. There isn’t a team in baseball who’ve had worse injury luck than the Braves have had from 2024 until now.
Talks between the #Braves and Tigers regarding a trade centered around 3-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal have reportedly "intensified" over the last 24 hours, per league sources.
A framework discussed would send RHP Lucas Braun, RHP Rolddy Muñoz and SS Alex Lodise to Detroit as part of a larger package. Multiple teams remain involved, but momentum has picked up significantly.
10 years ago today, LeBron James wore this Undertaker shirt, and gave us a classic meme as he and the Cavs trailed 3-1 to the Warriors in the NBA Finals 😎
The rest is history 🏆
Wemby on a possible 3-1 comeback:
"Everybody knows we're gonna do it. I think it'd be a mistake to waste our energy on multiple games. It's one game at a time"
Magic Johnson on De’Aaron Fox:
“He should’ve pulled the ball back out… I think that play really hurt the Spurs. Wemby’s two free throws he missed hurt the spurs. De’Aaron is a point guard, you gotta know every situation. My job as a point guard was to know every situation.”

"Sports depression" is a thing. It can make devoted fans feel listless, even worthless. It can disturb your sleep. But there are ways to get on top of it. https://t.co/WU00wZxzap
2024: Mike Brown on braindead Fox play: "If you're up 3, you gotta guard your man at the 3. I need to go back and watch Fox. Should NOT be in position to help. Should be hugged up to your man. 100% told guys, can't give up a 3. Stay connected. I even drew an example."
(Brown was fired the next day)

Trade: The Kansas City Chiefs are dealing OT Wanya Morris to the Atlanta Falcons, per sources.
Morris, who started 16 games for Chiefs, gives Atlanta much-needed tackle help.
SHAPE ON THE 2001 AIR FORCE 1 RETURNS ON THE 2026 PAIRS 👀🔥
Nike is bringing back that classic 2001 Air Force 1 shape, and from what I’ve been hearing, the 2026 pairs are not only closer to the OG look but also feel more comfortable on foot. They also come in a heavier build, giving them that premium old-school AF1 feel that longtime fans have been asking for.
Make sure to tap in with @corporategotem they will have them on deck!
Are y’all rocking with the return of the OG shape, or do you prefer the modern pairs? 🤔⬇️
Seth Lugo just took a 106.6 mph liner from Brandon Nimmo off his head. Lugo got up quick, but had a sizeable lump on his forehead. He's coming out of the game.
Nimmo sprinted to the mound to check on Lugo afterwards. The two were teammates on the Mets from 2016-22.
The Chiefs are adding two years to Patrick Mahomes’ contract, tying him to Kansas City through the 2033 season at a value of $504.75 million.
Beginning in 2027, when the new money begins, the deal averages $64 million per year, setting a new NFL record for average annual value. (via @adamschefter, @RapSheet)
