Braves RHP prospect Tyrell Jenkins pitched seven innings, giving up seven hits, zero earned runs, and six strikeouts for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday afternoon.
Fantasy Impact
Jenkins came over from the Cardinals in the Jason Hayward-Shelby Miller deal and was spectacular Thursday. A three-sport star in high school, he possesses a plus fastball to go with his 6"4 frame. Health has been an issue as he hasn't thrown 100 innings in a year as a professional but could take off if he's able to stay healthy for a full season. He is currently ranked tenth on the Braves prospects list and could see action during late September callups.
