Braves Call Up JR Ritchie for Spot Start vs Nationals

The Braves are promoting pitching prospect JR Ritchie to start tomorrow against the Washington Nationals, with Didier Fuentes optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett and Carlos Carrasco called up to work in long relief. Ritchie has been Gwinnett’s top pitcher this season (3 runs allowed in 27 1/3 innings with a 26.2% strikeout rate) but has walked 13 and plunked 4, suggesting he’ll be an up-and-down depth piece this year. Baseball America ranks him as the Braves’ No. 2 prospect with a diverse four-pitch mix, including a 93-94 mph fastball, and the team is navigating bullpen needs ahead of an off day and upcoming weekend series.

Braves Recall Dylan Dodd to Start Against Phillies and Place Tonkin on IL

The Atlanta Braves have placed Michael Tonkin on the 15-day injured list due to a neck strain, with Dylan Dodd called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move. The Braves have been short-handed in the rotation for more or less the entire season, and that shortage will continue since Kyle Wright and Max Fried are facing extended stints on the injured list. JR Ritchie, a top Braves prospect, will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the remainder of the 2023 season and probably at least half of the 2024 season.
