Darius Vines was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Fantasy Impact

Vines struggled in his two appearances, posting a 4.66 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP in two outings. Bryce Elder will be recalled as the corresponding move.

Darius Vines delivered a solid outing, allowing just one earned run over 4.2 innings while striking out four in the Braves' 6-1 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a somewhat shaky control that led to three walks, Vines managed to limit the damage, maintaining a decent ERA of 1.93. His performance today, characterized by a high WHIP of 1.50 and a modest strikeout rate, suggests potential but also highlights areas for improvement. Fantasy managers should view Vines as a possible streaming option rather than a permanent roster fixture.

The Braves have recalled Darius Vines from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Fantasy Impact

Vines is available out of the bullpen if needed but could also make a start on Tuesday if he is not needed before then. The 25-year-old has a 3.75 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP in two starts with Gwinnett.

Darius Vines was excellent in his MLB debut Wednesday in Colorado, limiting the Rockies to two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five.

Fantasy Impact

A seventh-round draft selection of the Braves in 2019, Vines certainly gained some respect in his MLB debut. The 25-year-old righty has posted a nice 2.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 46-to-14 K/BB ratio across 43 1/3 innings at Triple-A this year. Wednesday's effort may very well have earned him another turn in the Atlanta rotation next week.

Darius Vines struck out two and pitched three perfect innings in the Braves Spring Training opener.

Fantasy Impact

Vines pitched 111 innings last year in low and high-A posted a 2.92 ERA between both levels. Vines is an older prospect and will turn 24 in April. He could move quickly and provide Atlanta spot starts or bullpen help if needed.
