Michael Bourn was 1-for-3 on Thursday with his 51st steal of the season. He also scored twice. Bourn's .674 OPS with Atlanta is well below his .766 mark with Houston earlier this season. But he remains one of the game's best base-stealers and a key ingredient to the Braves' playoff push.

Michael Bourn went 4-for-5 with a couple of runs scored Thursday versus the Cubs. Bourn is hitting .309 with 15 runs scored in 23 games for the Braves. He hasn't been such a great basestealer, though; he was caught today for the fifth time in 13 attempts with his new team.

Michael Bourn reached base in four of his five at-bats in Tuesday's 2-1, 11-inning victory over the Giants. He went 1-for-2 with three walks and an RBI. Bourn was also picked off for the ninth time this season on a stolen base attempt. He's only increased his fantasy value since moving to the Braves. Bourn is now hitting .302 with 41 RBI, 72 runs and 45 steals.

Michael Bourn is batting leadoff and playing center field in his Braves' debut Monday night against the Nationals. As expected. The Braves haven't announced a corresponding roster move yet, but it's widely believed that reliever Scott Proctor will be given the boot.

Braves acquired OF Michael Bourn and cash from the Astros for RHP Paul Clemens, LHP Brett Oberholtzer, OF Jordan Schafer and RHP Juan Abreu. An impressive swap for Atlanta. The Braves didn't have to deal any of their top prospects and landed one of the top leadoff men and base stealers in the game. Bourn should play center field regularly down the stretch for the Wild Card leaders and is likely to gain a bit more fantasy value with a transition to a better all-around lineup.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Braves have acquired Michael Bourn from the Astros in exchange for four minor leaguers.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that there is "little momentum" for a Michael Bourn trade. He points out that the final day of the trade deadline is "the very definition of fluid," so things could change, but for now it looks like Bourn might be staying in Houston. The speedy outfielder has been coveted by the Nationals, Indians, Giants and Braves.

The Astros are receiving calls about outfielder Michael Bourn, according to SI.com's Jon Heyman. The Braves, Reds, Nationals, Giants and Indians are all reportedly interested. Bourn has posted an impressive .304/.364/.405 batting line with 39 stolen bases this season. He can be a free agent following the 2012 season.

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Braves are "working hard" on a deal for Michael Bourn. The Astros already unloaded right fielder Hunter Pence and are now seeking a fit for their center fielder. Bourn has posted an impressive .304/.364/.405 batting line with 39 stolen bases this season and would fit nicely at the top of the Atlanta lineup.

According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, Astros' center fielder Michael Bourn is now on the Braves' radar. He'd be a great fit in Atlanta, as the Braves have a void in center field and at the top of their lineup. The Braves were involved in talks for Hunter Pence before he was sent to Philadelphia, so they likely know exactly what it will take to pry him away from Houston. Bourn, 28, will be a free agent following the 2012 season. The Braves are also said to be considering Ryan Ludwick, B.J. Upton, Josh Willingham and Carlos Quentin among available outfield bats.
