With a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 25, the Braves surpassed their dissapointing 76–86 record from the previous season.[1] The team is seeking to return to the playoffs after missing the postseason in 2025. Following the conclusion of the previous season, longtime manager Brian Snitker announced his retirement and moved into an advisory role with the organization.[2]

Jurickson Profar PED bans

On March 3, 2026, Jurickson Profar received a 162-game suspension from Major League Baseball after testing positive for exogenous testosterone.[3] The suspension marked his second violation of MLB's performance-enhancing drug policy within a year; in March 2025, he received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).[4] As a result of the 162-game suspension, Profar forfeited his $15 million salary for the 2026 season, along with being ineligible for the postseason and the 2026 World Baseball Classic, for which he had been expected to play for the Netherlands.[5]
