The Braves recalled RHP Didier Fuentes from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Fantasy Impact

Fuentes gets called up with Dylan Lee placed on the paternity list. It may be a short stint in the majors for him.

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.

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.

Didier Fuentes has been recalled by the Atlanta Braves and will start Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Ian Hamilton has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Impact

The talk of the spring for the Braves, Fuentes has been recalled to start Wednesday's game. He went 3-0 with a 0.66 ERA and allowed only two hits and one walk, while striking out 18, in 13.2 innings during the spring. The 21-year-old righthander made the Braves' Opening Day roster and appeared in one relief outing, allowing one run in four innings, before getting sent down to Triple-A Gwinnett to get additional work. Fuentes posted a 2.16 ERA at Gwinnett, allowing only eight hits while striking out 20 in 16.2 innings. Martin Perez was the originally-scheduled starter for the Braves on Wednesday, and it's unclear if he will be pushed back a day or will head to the bullpen. Spencer Strider (oblique) is also scheduled to rejoin the rotation soon, so a lot of decisions for the Braves will lean on how well Fuentes performs Wednesday.
