Kerr has posted a 5.64 ERA across 10 appearances on the season. Atlanta selected the contract of Grant Holmes as the corresponding move.

Ray Kerr allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 3.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite showcasing his ability to rack up strikeouts, Kerr's performance was marred by the runs he allowed, contributing to the Braves' 3-1 defeat. His season ERA now sits uncomfortably high at 5.82, and while his strikeout rate remains impressive at 12.2 K/9, his overall effectiveness is undermined by his susceptibility to allowing hits and runs. Fantasy managers should be wary; despite the high strikeout potential, Kerr's high ERA and WHIP could be detrimental to fantasy rosters. His role in high-leverage situations remains uncertain, making him a risky play in most formats.

Ray Kerr will start for the Braves on Thursday against the Nationals.
