David Aardsma

The Braves have designated veteran and oft-injured reliever David Aardsma for assignment. Christian Bethancourt will take his spot on the roster.

Fantasy Impact

Aardsma has pitched to a 4.70 ERA in 2015 and a record of 1-1 with three blown saves. These numbers haven't quite told the right story, as Aardsma's ERA+ of 82, and 4.85 FIP show that he's been quite bad in 2015.

Davi Aardsma allowed a pair of home runs in the sixth inning Tuesday night, increasing the Padres lead in the game from a tight 2-0 to a touchdown in another poor night for the Braves bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

There is no reason to be rostering David Aardsma at this point in his career. While the holds seem nice, they will be few and far between with the Braves' poor offense, and Aardsma's blow-ups are also far too common to handle.

David Aardsma struck out the side on Sunday, blanking the Diamondbacks in one inning of play and receiving a win for his efforts.

Fantasy Impact

Aardsma has only allowed one run since allowing three on August 4th. He has recorded three holds since then, and yesterday's win was his first this season.

David Aardsma allowed one run over two innings to get a hold on Friday night, allowing two hits but also striking out one.

Fantasy Impact

That's three holds in the last five games for Aardsma, though he's not the best option in holds leagues. For one, the Braves will not often be in winning situations, and Aardsma has been shaky at best in those situations so far this season.

David Aardsma surrendered three runs in the eighth inning on Tuesday night, allowing the Giants to take the lead and eventually win the game.

Fantasy Impact

Aardsma allowed two hits and a walk, of which all three scored. Prior to this inning, Shelby Miller had only allowed two over seven before relenting to Ross Detwiler, who allowed a home run to the only batter he faced. The lesson here is to stay as far away from the Braves bullpen as possible right now.
