Eligibility
Matt Marksberry relieved Shelby Miller in Atlanta's 4-0 loss to the Marlins on Monday, allowing two runs in one inning on two hits and a walk.
Fantasy Impact
Marksberry, still only 25, has not yet shown that he can hang in the big leagues. It may be that he doesn't possess the right stuff to succeed, but it might also be that Marksberry is feeding off the terrible atmosphere present in the Braves bullpen right now.
Marksberry pitched the eighth inning, striking out two Giants in the Braves 8-3 loss.
Fantasy Impact
Since being called up July 31st, Marksberry has yet to give up an earned run. He will continue to get consistent work especially as the Braves have lost 10 out of their last 13 games.
Marksberry came in the fifth inning for a struggling Williams Perez and pitched one and 2/3 scoreless innings in his major league debut. The rookie allowed two hits and one walk.
Fantasy Impact
With the Braves trading away some of their bullpen assets before the trade deadline, Marksberry will look to get some work in the next couple of weeks to see if he'll stick in the big leagues. His first outing was encouraging, albeit against the lowly Phillies. He is not fantasy relevant yet.
