Fantasy Impact

Ritchie was called up to make his eighth start and 14th appearance overall for the Braves on Sunday. The rookie gave a fairly solid performance, keeping the club in the contest through the first four frames. Ritchie has posted a so-so 4.50 ERA with 53 strikeouts across 58 MLB innings this season, but the walks (14.1%) remain an issue for him. The Braves made a trade for veteran starter Tyler Mahle on Sunday, so this may end up just being a spot start for Ritchie.
