Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday due to elbow soreness, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. He will be evaluated by Braves head physician Dr. Gary Lourie on Saturday. (Mark Bowman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
While the Braves are saying, at least for now, that they are unconcerned, elbow issues are about the biggest red flag possible for a pitcher. Foltynewicz dealt with some elbow discomfort last season, and his fastball velocity was down in his two-inning appearance on Sunday. Velocity is typically down for starters during Spring Training, but this situation is worth monitoring for owners considering drafting Foltynewicz.
