Dylan Dodd Stats

Atlanta Braves right-hander Dylan Dodd will become a full-time member of the rotation after making a spot start on Thursday, going six innings and allowing three runs with one punchout and three walks en route toward the victory over the Miami Marlins. Kyle Wright recently landed on the shelf (shoulder), giving the 24-year-old a chance to start consistently. Across three games this season, Dodd owns a 6.46 ERA, 10.0% strikeout rate, and 1.83 WHIP but has limited the walks, posting a 5.7% walk rate. He isn't a must-add in standard leagues, and fantasy managers should only pick him up in deeper formats.

The Atlanta Braves optioned left-hander Jared Shuster to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday and selected the contract of left-hander Dylan Dodd from the minors in a corresponding move. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Braves designated outfielder Jordan Luplow for assignment. Shuster struggled in his MLB debut on Sunday against the Washington Nationals and allowed four runs on six hits while walking five and striking out one in 4 1/3 innings. Dodd will make his big-league debut on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Meanwhile, Bryce Elder is expected to replace Max Fried (hamstring) in the rotation this week. Dodd, the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is athletic but doesn't have overpowering stuff. His ceiling will likely be as a back-end starter in the big leagues.

With Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) opening the year on the injured list, pitchers Jared Shuster and Dylan Dodd will both make a start in the first two series of the 2023 regular season. Dodd, Atlanta's No. 10 prospect, will start April 4 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Shuster, the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, is currently lined up to start the third game of the season next Sunday against the Washington Nationals. Once Wright is ready to make his season debut, one of Shuster or Dodd will likely be sent to the minors. Shuster, a former first-rounder, has looked lights-out this spring and has a high floor in the long term. Dodd, 24, has struck out 20 hitters and walked just four in Grapefruit League action.
