Yonny Chirinos News
The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Yonny Chirinos (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 20) with right-elbow inflammation on Monday and recalled right-handed pitching prospect Allan Winans from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Chirinos hasn't looked good in five starts for the Braves, allowing 23 earned runs on 33 hits (five homers) while walking seven and striking out 22 in 22 1/3 innings. Winans, the team's No. 30 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will replace Chirinos in the starting rotation and will start on Monday against the division-rival New York Mets. The 28-year-old rookie has allowed just two earned runs while striking out 14 in 11 1/3 innings in his first two big-league starts, making him intriguing in a two-start week.
Atlanta Braves right-hander Yonny Chirinos will make his second start for the team this Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Chirinos didn't have a great debut for Atlanta last Friday, allowing four runs on six hits while walking one and striking out three in just 3 2/3 innings, but he'll get at least one more start this week. The 29-year-old Venezuelan probably isn't going to go very deep in this one and has only struck out 34 hitters in 66 1/3 innings of work in 2023 over 16 appearances (five starts) for the Braves and Tampa Bay Rays, so there isn't much fantasy upside here. The Angels are also a more formidable matchup for fantasy purposes given their recent acquisitions of first baseman C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk.
Right-hander Yonny Chirinos will be making his Atlanta Braves debut on Friday when he draws the start against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Chirinos ended up with Atlanta after he was designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays last weekend. The 29-year-old right-hander won't be much of a streamer against the first-place Brewers in fantasy. He's unlikely to go very deep in his first traditional start for the Braves to kick off their weekend series. In 15 appearances (four starts) for the Rays in 2023, Chirinos had a 4.02 ERA (5.52 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, 20 walks and 31 strikeouts in 62 2/3 innings. The weak strikeout rate alone should turn off most fantasy managers, and he's unlikely to make many more starts, if any at all, for the Braves.
