NL East

Max Scherzer has been one of the most durable pitchers in baseball since 2009, but the Washington Nationals ace is dealing with a sprained right thumb.

The Atlanta Braves have jumped out to a surprising 8-4 start in what is being considered a rebuilding season.

The Braves altered the makeup of their roster in the offseason to focus on restocking the farm system to build toward the future.

Time will tell whether or not the trades work out for the Braves.

However, there is no denying that John Hart seriously upgraded the minor league talent in the Braves farm system.

Buoyed by an offseason spending spree that included a long-term agreement with star Giancarlo Stanton, most expected the Miami Marlins to compete for an NL East title. A disappointing 3-10 start apparently has management reconsidering the status of manager Mike Redmond.

The Atlanta Braves are one of baseball's biggest surprises as they've jumped out to a 6-1 start.

While it's still very early, it is hard not to be impressed by the team's performance to date.

The Braves have beaten up the Marlins and Mets, two teams that were hot picks to challenge the Washington Nationals in the division and earn wild card berths.

You’ll come across some weird sights if you head down to Marlins Park this spring.

There's rain falling indoors, but perhaps even stranger, a pitcher who leaps like a hunter-gatherer throwing a spear while hurling the ball over the plate.

Posterized! In baseball? Yep.

The Miami Marlins topped the Tampa Bay Rays 10-9 in 10 innings thanks to a Christian Yelich walk-off single Friday night.

The Washington Nationals entered 2015 as a threat to finish as Major League Baseball's first 100-win team since 2011, largely because their pitching just looks too darn good.

To this end, here's the latest from the front: It's not going so well, mainly because of what's happening on the other side of the ball. Washington's lineup is not at full strength, and it's showing.

For Giancarlo Stanton, there will be no escaping the spotlight in 2015. There will be more eyes and, in turn, more pressure on him than ever before. 

In an environment like that, stars can either fade or shine even brighter. And provided you know how to read and comprehend headlines, you can guess which outcome is about to be discussed in this space.

The Miami Marlins spent a lot of money on their new stadium—$515 million, mostly funded by Miami-Dade County, to be specific.

It features some interesting things, like a quasi-strip club at field level, an exploding fantasy fountain and a monstrous retractable roof. 

Giancarlo Stanton has accomplished a lot in his young career, but this offseason he did something that seemed utterly impossible: He convinced owner Jeffrey Loria to put the Miami Marlins in a position to succeed.
