Huascar Ynoa's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (elbow) has been sent to the Florida Complex League to begin a rehab assignment. The 26-year-old has been sidelined with a right elbow stress reaction since late April. Ynoa burst onto the scene in 2021 for the Braves with a strong rookie season, but it has been all downhill since that time. With the Braves needing some depth in the rotation, Ynoa could be an intriguing option, but he still has a lot of work to get back into the big leagues as he has mightily struggled in the minors the past few seasons. He can safely remain on the waiver wire in all formats.

Atlanta Braves right-hander Huascar Ynoa (elbow) appeared in a game on Tuesday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League for the first time since April and allowed an earned run on two hits while walking none and striking out none in two innings of work. Ynoa is recovering from a stress reaction in his right elbow and will likely need the full 30 days on his rehab assignment before he becomes an option for the Braves' major-league pitching staff. The 26-year-old is currently on the 60-day injured list and will likely be ticketed for Triple-A Gwinnett once his rehab assignment concludes. The Dominican hurler hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2022 for Atlanta and holds a career 5.22 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with a 24.4% strikeout rate in 122 1/3 innings over 31 appearances (24 starts) since debuting in 2019.

The Atlanta Braves have demoted starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa to Triple-A Gwinnett. Ynoa, 25, is returning from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in 2022. He tossed a scoreless inning this spring with one strikeout. The Braves are likely to have a workload limit on the right-hander, no matter which level he is at this season. He can safely remain on the waiver wire in all formats.
