Huascar Ynoa Stats

The Atlanta Braves optioned right-hander Huascar Ynoa to Triple-A Gwinnett following the game on Monday night. In corresponding moves, right-hander Touki Toussaint and left-hander Dylan Lee were recalled, while left-hander Sean Newcomb was designated for assignment. Ynoa wasn't good in his first two starts of the season, allowing 10 earned runs on 11 hits while walking six and striking out eight over just 6 2/3 innings pitched. The 23-year-old allowed five runs and four walks in just 3 2/3 frames in his outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. Since suffering a broken hand last year, Ynoa has been unreliable in Atlanta's rotation. Bryce Elder, who has pitched well so far, will remain in the Braves rotation for now.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryce Elder will start on Sunday Night Baseball versus the Padres with Huascar Ynoa being pushed back to Tuesday, according to David O'Brien. Elder will pitch on normal rest after he tossed 5 2/3 innings of three-run ball on Tuesday against the Nationals. Elder, who was at minor league camp in March, is more stretched out than most pitchers who were affected by shortened Spring Training and the Braves want to give Ynoa extra rest with an off day on Monday. Elder was fifth-round pick in the 2020 draft and ascended quickly as he pitched in High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A in 2021 and averaged more than a strikeout-per-inning at every stop. He's a name to add in keeper leagues and could have some streamer appeal for fantasy managers looking for another Sunday starter.

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that pitchers Kyle Wright and Huascar Ynoa are likely the front-runners for the two open starting rotation spots to begin the 2022 season. Wright, a 26-year-old right-hander, has a rough 6.56 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 21 career major league outings (14 starts) over 70 innings pitched. He won't be attractive in shallow mixed leagues, but he could be worth a look in NL-only formats if he sticks in Atlanta's rotation. Ynoa had shoulder inflammation in the playoffs last year, but the 23-year-old appears to be fine this spring and was promising with a 4.05 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 100 strikeouts and 25 walks in 91 innings last season.
