4 months agoThe Atlanta Braves are declining to tender right-handed pitcher
Huascar Ynoa's contract, which will make him a free agent. The 26-year-old pitcher has spent most of the past two seasons on the injured list as he logged just 29 2/3 during this span and has not returned to the big leagues since the 2022 campaign. Across 122 1/3 innings in Atlanta, Ynoa sometimes showed high-strikeout potential but struggled with an overall 5.22 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. Through 185 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett, Ynoa carried a similar 5.55 ERA and 1.48 WHIP while striking out 199 batters in 185 frames. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor Ynoa's status during the offseason, as he could find a potential suitor willing to take a chance on him, given the swing-and-miss upside he has shown.

9 months agoAtlanta 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.

1 year agoAtlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that he saw right-hander
Huascar Ynoa (elbow) throw a bullpen session the other day in camp after coming back from Tommy John surgery at the end of the 2022 season. "He looks great, I know that," Snitker said. The 25-year-old missed the entire 2023 campaign, but he appears to be making good progress and could be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, barring any setbacks. The Dominican hurler has appeared in 31 games (24 starts) in four major-league seasons with Atlanta, going a combined 4-8 with a 5.22 ERA (4.35 FIP) and 1.32 WHIP with 45 walks and 128 strikeouts in 122 1/3 innings pitched. When healthy, Ynoa has some nice strikeout upside, but he'll surely be on an innings limit in 2024 after missing all of last season.

1 year agoThe Atlanta Braves signed free-agent infielder
Luis Guillorme to a one-year, $1.1 million eal on Friday and also avoided salary arbitration with right-hander
Huascar Ynoa by inking him to a one-year, $825,000 deal. Guillorme, 29, is a left-handed hitter who played second base, third base and shortstop in 2023 and slashed .261/.344/.333 in 823 plate appearances over the last six seasons in Queens. The Venezuelan utility infielder is mostly useful for his defensive abilities, as he has only five home runs and 48 RBI in 334 career games played, and playing time isn't going to be easy to come by in Atlanta. Ynoa missed all of last season after having Tommy John surgery in September of 2022. The 25-year-old should be ready to go at some point in 2024, but he holds a bloated 5.22 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 122 1/3 innings over 31 appearances (24 starts) in his four years with the Braves.
