Braves News: Atlanta Acquires Jorge Soler And Luke Jackson, Reynaldo Lopez Remains Day-to-Day, More

On the field on Monday, the Braves experienced another frustrating loss in the series opener against the Brewers.

Off the field, Alex Anthopoulos is bringing back a few familiar names, including outfielder Jorge Soler to help address some of the offensive needs the Braves have. The Braves acquired Soler and Luke Jackson from the Giants while sending Tyler Matzek back to the Giants in the trade. Beyond the offensive potential of Soler, the Braves also managed to keep the prospect cost at a minimum by taking on nearly all of Soler’s contact. This could allow the Braves to make additional moves on Tuesday.

The addition of Soler may seem odd as he is mainly a DH and he is owed significant money over each of the next two seasons. However, Soler is a good source of getting on base that also offers tremendous power potential. While he has not been as good in 2024 as he was in 2023, he has been producing excellent offense in July. As a result, Anthopolous really enjoys bringing back names that have previous success on his teams. And in Soler, he know adds another impact bat that has added value both in the regular season and the playoffs.

The other significant, and very positive, news of the day was Reynaldo Lopez having a clean MRI after his injury scare on Sunday. Brian Snitker added Lopez could even make his next start.

To continue the positive vibes, the Braves will be back on Comcast on August 1st.

The Braves brought Darius Vines back to Atlanta early on Monday. However, after pitching in the game against the Brewers, Vines was designated for assignment as part of the acquisition of Soler and Jackson.

Atlanta is one of several teams that have been connected to having interest in acquiring White Sox starter Garrett Crochet.

Jeff Passan breaks down the Braves acquisition of Soler, as they attempt to recapture the magic that resulted in their 2021 World Series title.

Justin Toscano looks at an emotional day for Grant Holmes, who made his first start in the big leagues on Monday. Toscano also provides more details on Soler returning to Atlanta.

Mark Bowman suggests the Braves are putting faith in Soler finding similar success this season as he did in 2021 with Atlanta.

David Obrien provides more details on the trade, and how Atlanta truly is getting the band back together from 2021.

The Astros acquired starter Yusei Kikuchi from the Blue Jays on Monday.

The Mariners traded for Justin Turner from the Blue Jays.

Stolen bikes derail program that teaches Atlanta youth to ride

A program that teaches young Atlantans how to ride bikes suffered a major loss this week, after thieves emptied a storage trailer, making off with 26 bikes and 24 helmets.

The “Shifting Gears” program helps young cyclists learn how to navigate city streets on two wheels from an early age — particularly in underserved communities that suffer from high rates of traffic injuries and fatalities.

Thieves steal dozens of bikes meant for underprivileged kids from Atlanta nonprofit

March 5, 2026 / 5:10 PM EST
/ CBS Atlanta

An Atlanta nonprofit is asking the public for help after it was the victim of a brazen theft earlier this week.

Propel ATL said that thieves cleared out an entire trailer of bicycles meant for underprivileged kids sometime on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.

Jeremiah Jones, the nonprofit’s advocacy manager, said that someone broke into the trailer and took 26 bikes and 24 helmets.

Nonprofit Propel Atl said someone stole dozens of bikes and helmets meant to go to children from their trailer this week.

CBS News Atlanta

The equipment was part of a program that gives bikes to children from low-income schools and teaches them how to ride.

“My heart sank when I got the call that all the bikes were gone. I said, ‘Surely not all of them.’ And all of them are gone,” Jones said. “This class is solely for kids, and this crime is affecting them.”

Atlanta police are reviewing security footage from the area. Jones said you could see people taking the bikes out of the trailer, carrying them down a hill, and bringing them into a nearby parking lot.

The nonprofit is now trying to raise more than $10,000 to replace the bikes.

Propel ATL is also asking who may have information about the theft to contact them at programs@letspropelatl.org.
