The Los Angeles Angels released 39 minor leaguers last week, according to the official minor league transaction pages. They released 29 minor leaguers from March to May of 2019 and 19 from the same time frame in 2018. Pitchers Luiz Gohara, Luis Pena and Jeremy Rhoades were among those cut in the process. Gohara, a 23-year-old southpaw who was once a notable prospect with Atlanta, has a 5.33 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 49 innings in the big leagues with the Braves in 2017 and 2018 over 14 appearances (six starts).
Following their new bullpen additions at the trade deadline, the Atlanta Braves have released pitcher Luiz Gohara. One of the Braves' top pitching prospects in recent years, Gohara has struggled to find success at the big league level with a 5.33 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 49 innings. Look for a rebuilding team to take a chance on Gohara, who has a mid-90s fastball and at the age of 23, could still find his path in the big leagues.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara will make two starts for Triple-A Gwinnett but is lined up to start on July 24 against the Marlins. The rookie left-hander hasn't really pitched well in the minors or majors for the Braves this year, but he's the future of their rotation and has swing-and-miss stuff. He's sporting an ERA of 5.95 with a 1.22 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 in nine games (one start). He's really only a dynasty league option right now, but he could become a deep league streaming option in the second half, especially in matchups like the one he'll have on July 24.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. The young left-hander could go down to the farm to be stretched out as a starter again. Of his nine appearances in the majors this year, Gohara has just one start and is sporting an ugly 5.95 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 over 19 2/3 innings. He has upside for strikeouts and is worth considering in dynasty and NL-only leagues if he finds his way into the rotation in the second half.
The Atlanta Braves have recalled pitcher Luiz Gohara from Triple-A Gwinnett. Evan Phillips was sent back down to Triple-A. Gohara is one of the top prospects in the Braves system but has struggled in 2018 with the Major League club with a 6.89 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. He will be used in a long-relief role for the Braves. The left-hander isn't worth owning in standard leagues unless he is starting, but he remains valuable in dynasty formats.
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Luiz Gohara probably wishes he had stayed away for a day or two more. He did not look sharp when he came in for Julio Teheran on Monday night. Gohara went only two-thirds of an inning and gave up six runs. It was that bad. Gohara gave up six runs, and they were all earned. Gohara isn't a realistic fantasy option unless he's in Atlanta's starting rotation.
Luiz Gohara Goes Four Shaky Innings in First Start
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara lasted four innings on Wednesday in his first start with the club this season. Gohara gave up two earned runs on four hits and four walks, but did manage to strike out six Phillies, as the Braves were eventually shut out 4-0. He still has the upside that he carried as a prospect, but right now needs to be stretched out further to be useful as a starter. With Anibal Sanchez and Mike Soroka both recovering on the DL, the Braves may relegate Gohara back to the bullpen.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Luiz Gohara will start Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The left-hander has pitched out of the bullpen since being recalled and has struck out five with a 1.29 ERA and 0.57 WHIP in seven innings. He even has one save on the season. The 21-year old is one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball and has upside through the roof. With a good start in Philadelphia it is possible he sticks around in the rotation. He can be picked up in most leagues if he is available, and is must own in all dynasty formats.
Atlanta Braves left-handed pitcher Luiz Gohara has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. Gohara is expected to join the Braves bullpen. This move was expected but has now been made official. One of the top pitching prospects in baseball, Gohara could be a starter before the end of the year if he pitches well enough to earn a spot. He's not fantasy relevant unless he enters the starting rotation at some point, though.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara was scratched from his start at Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's David O'Brien reports that the Braves are expected to recall Gohara sometime during their road trip. Gohara could join the Braves as early as Tuesday but is reportedly going to pitch out of the bullpen. He has struggled in the minors this season but likely would've made the MLB roster out of camp if he didn't get injured. Gohara is only worth an add in deeper leagues where holds are valued.
