The Braves have placed right-hander Mike Foltynewicz on the 10-day disabled list with right triceps tightness, retroactive to June 13th. In a corresponding move, they’ve activated fellow righty Julio Teheran from the disabled list, who is scheduled to start tomorrow’s game.
The 26-year-old Foltynewicz has been a revelation this season, pitching to a pristine 2.16 ERA across 79 innings so far. He’s managed to strike out 10.71 batters thanks in part to a fastball that averages a whopping 97 miles per hour. That mark trails only Luis Severino in all of MLB. Foltynewicz has taken his game to a new level in June, having allowed just two earned runs across his three starts this month while striking out 25 batters. That includes a complete game shutout against the Nationals on June 1st.
Teheran has posted a career-high 5.59 FIP so far this season due in part to diminished velocity, a spike in his already-high walk rate, and a catastrophic 39% hard contact allowed. That last mark is the 20th-highest among all qualified major league starters. Teheran’s career has been a roller coaster of highs and lows, but he’ll hope he can turn his season around after a brief stint on the DL for a thumb injury.
Ew
Agreed. Julio needs to stay seated
Send him packing. Pleeezzeee.
Nice to see Folty finally starting to break out
Who hangs up 1st Gohara,Riley, Anderson,Wentz & McCarthy to Mets for DeGrom & Frazier
Mets. They won’t do a deal without Wright or Soroka. Something like Soroka, Wentz and Peterson would start the conversation.
Braves undoubtedly. There’s always one or two prospects front offices become personally enamored with, boom or bust. Riley and Soroka appear to be the two guys AA considers cornerstones.
Wright,Pache,Wentz, and 1 or 2 other throw ins should be able to get DeGrom. We get our ace for a few years and we still have pitching depth
I would puke in my hat if the Braves made that trade.
You wouldn’t puke in your hat. If you opened your eyes that trade is a steal. We still have all our best pitching prospects in Soroka, Anderson, Toussaint, Stewart, Gohara etc. all we give up is Pache, Wright & Wentz?! SIGN ME UP
Folty still needs to pitch deeper in games
He would be a star if ATL believed in this “opener” pitching experiment TB is currently trying out. Unfortunately, you need to have a deeper pen to do that, which is our Achilles heel now.
