Availability
The Braves optioned RHP Blake Burkhalter to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Fantasy Impact
Burkhalter returns to Triple-A as Atlanta brings up a fresh arm. He pitched in Tuesday's game.
Blake Burkhalter was added to the Braves' roster on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
With MLB rosters expanding, Burkhalter will join the Braves' bullpen ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nationals. After dealing with injuries, Burkhalter has been excellent out of the bullpen for Triple-A Gwinnett this season, posting a 1.48 ERA with 29 strikeouts across 24 1/3 innings. A second-round draft pick back in 2022, the righty has yet to make his MLB debut.
Burkhalter worked as a starter at Double-A and transitioned to a relief role at Triple-A last season, posting a 23:16 K:BB across 31 innings with a fastball that stayed in the mid-90s.
Fantasy Impact
Triple-A Gwinnett placed him on the 7-day injured list March 27 with back spasms.
