Kyle Muller Stats

The Atlanta Braves recalled left-hander Kyle Muller from the minors on Sunday, and he will start in the series finale against the Texas Rangers. In a corresponding move, the team optioned right-hander Bryce Elder to Triple-A Gwinnett after Saturday's game. Lefty Max Fried will be pushed back to the series opener on Monday against the New York Mets. Elder began the year in the starting rotation, but he was sent down after having his third straight rough outing on Saturday, when he allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings. Muller had 28 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings for Gwinnett before his call-up, and he posted a 4.17 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP and 37:20 K:BB in 36 2/innings over nine outings (eight starts) for Atlanta last year.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Muller has been optioned to Triple-A following a rough outing against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. He went 2 1/3 innings, five hits allowed, six earned runs, three walks, and one strikeout in the 12-3 loss. This game was really the only really bad outing he has posted since joining the Braves rotation. Despite that, the organization has decided it's time for Muller to get more work in the minors. Right-hander Jacob Webb has been recalled, but he'll come out of the bullpen. Huascar Ynoa (hand) is on the verge of returning and is expected to take Muller's spot in the rotation. Fantasy managers should check and see if Ynoa is available because he was excellent before the injury.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Muller came into this outing posting a 1.88 ERA in six starts. Sadly, things didn't go well for the young lefty during Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Muller went 4 2/3 innings, two hits allowed, three earned runs, two walks, and three strikeouts in the 8-4 victory. It's surprising Muller gave up three runs considering he was facing one of the worst lineups we've seen this season. Despite that, he'll get a rebound outing against the Cincinnati Reds next time out. Muller remains a strong fantasy asset despite one below average outing.
