James Karinchak

The Braves have recalled right-hander James Karinchak from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Fantasy Impact

Karinchak has posted a 2.08 ERA in eight appearances for the Braves this season, but his lacluster 9.1% K-BB% has created a 5.51 xFIP and a 4.97 SIERA. He has also posted a 2.45 ERA in 21 outings for Gwinnett, locking down five saves in the process.

James Karinchak was optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of Friday's game against the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Karinchak has given up a run in each of his last two appearances, including Thursday's outing. However, the 30-year-old righty has pitched well since originally being called up a few weeks ago, posting a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over eight appearances. It would not be surprising to see him back in the Braves' bullpen relatively soon.

James Karinchak was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

It's been a long road back to the bigs for Karinchak, as his last MLB appearance came with Cleveland back in 2023. The 30-year-old righty signed with the Braves this past December, and he has been excellent at the Triple-A level so far this year. Over 21 relief appearances for Triple-A Gwinnett, Karinchak has posted a 2.45 ERA with 38 strikeouts across 25 2/3 innings. Carlos Carrasco was designated for assignment in order to make room for Karinchak in the Braves' bullpen.

The Braves have reassigned right-hander James Karinchak to minor league camp.

Fantasy Impact

Karinchak heads to the minors to begin the season despite tossing four scoreless innings with nine strikeouts to his credit in that time. Considering his career 3.10 ERA in 174 outings, it shouldn't be long before he is back with the Braves.

The Braves signed RHP James Karinchak to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Fantasy Impact

Karinchak last appeared in the majors in the 2023 season with the Guardians. He'll enter spring training competing for a depth spot in the Braves bullpen.
