Atlanta Braves right-hander
Collin McHugh (shoulder) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. In addition to McHugh, right-handers
Nick Anderson (shoulder) and
Daysbel Hernandez (forearm) are starting their rehab assignments with Gwinnett. The Braves also reinstated reliever
Jesse Chavez (shin) from the 60-day injured list and designated left-hander
Lucas Luetge for assignment. McHugh went on the 15-day IL on Sept. 6 with right-shoulder inflammation, but he should be able to rejoin Atlanta's bullpen for the stretch run soon after a couple minor-league appearances. The 36-year-old veteran has a 4.30 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 47 strikeouts in 58 2/3 innings over 41 outings (one start) for Atlanta in 2023.

The Atlanta Braves activated right-hander
Collin McHugh (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned left-hander
Danny Young to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. The club also placed outfielder
Eli White on the paternity list and recalled outfielder
Nick Solak from the minors. McHugh landed on the injured list in early April with right shoulder inflammation, but he's fine now and will return to a relief role in Atlanta's bullpen. Before his injury, the 35-year-old veteran hurler allowed a run on four hits while walking three and striking out two in just 3 2/3 innings pitched. McHugh doesn't have much fantasy appeal unless he's in a starting role for the Braves.

Atlanta Braves right-hander
Collin McHugh (shoulder) felt great after throwing three innings in a minor-league rehab game for High-A Rome on Saturday. He was scheduled to rest a couple days and then will likely join the Braves bullpen by Monday. McHugh has been out since feeling right shoulder soreness on April 5 in an outing against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 35-year-old tossed three scoreless innings over the weekend and looks set to come off the injured list to give Atlanta's bullpen some reinforcements. Barring a return to starting duties, though, McHugh doesn't have very much fantasy appeal at all working in relief.

Atlanta Braves right-hander
Collin McHugh (shoulder) is beginning his minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Tuesday. McHugh is close to returning after landing on the injured list in early April with right shoulder inflammation. Barring a setback while pitching in the minors, he should be able to return to Atlanta's bullpen before the calendar flips to May. The 35-year-old made just three relief appearances before getting hurt, and he had allowed one run on four hits while walking three and striking out two in 3 2/3 innings. As long as McHugh remains in Atlanta's bullpen, he'll have limited fantasy appeal in deep fantasy leagues that reward points for holds.
