Didier Fuentes was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following Wednesday's game against the Nationals. JR Ritchie was called up to make his major league debut on Thursday. (Mark Bowman on X)
Fantasy Impact:
Fuentes was called up on Wednesday to make a start for the Braves against the Nationals. The young righthander allowed four runs on seven hits in three innings, walked one, and struck out seven in a no-decision. His short outing forced the Braves into also using Martin Perez out of the bullpen, which left an opening in the rotation on Thursday - hence the call-up for Ritchie. Fuentes has a 6.43 ERA in two outings with the Braves, but has struck out 11 batters in seven innings. He'll continue to develop in Triple-A and will likely be called up again at some point this season.
