Sent down following doubleheader Ynoa was optioned to the Braves' alternate training site Saturday.

Roughed up in spot start Ynoa didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, surrendering six runs on five hits and a walk over 2.1 innings. He struck ou...
Impact Getting a spot start in the twin bill, Ynoa gave up runs in all three of his frames, although his final line was inflated when Luke Jackson allowed a couple of inherited runners to score after the 22-year-old got the hook. Ynoa has a 7.71 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB through 11.2 innings this season, and he'll likely remain in a low-leverage long relief role.

Starting Friday's nightcap Ynoa will start Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Impact Ynoa tossed one inning of relief Tuesday, but he'll rejoin the rotation this weekend with the doubleheader Friday. Ynoa has a 3.86 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 6:7 K:BB through 9.1 innings this season.

Not starting Sunday Ynoa is no longer starting Sunday's game against the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 22-year-old was previously named the starter for the series finale, but the Braves will instead turn to Tommy Milone, who was acquired Sunday morning from the Orioles. Ynoa seems likely to receive another starting chance at some point, but it's unclear when that may occur.

Philadelphia hosts Atlanta, aims to build on Eflin's strong performance
Philadelphia looks to follow up a dominant performance by Saturday starter Zach EflinAUGUST 30, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rejoining rotation Braves manager Brian Snitker said Ynoa would start Sunday's series finale against the Phillies, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Atlanta had a need for a fifth starter after recently optioning both Kyle Wright and Touki Toussaint to its alternate training site, so Ynoa will at least temporarily enter the rotation for what will be his third start of the season. Considering the 22-year-old has topped out at 48 pitches in his four appearances (two starts, two in relief) this season, Atlanta likely won't count on Ynoa to cover much more than four or five innings.

Sharp in relief Monday Ynoa gave up two hits and struck out four over three scoreless innings of relief during Monday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.
Impact The right-hander was the only one of the four pitchers Atlanta used not to give up a run. Ynoa threw 48 pitches (29 strikes), which could leave him unavailable to pitch for a few days, but with Atlanta not scheduled to need a fifth starter again until September, Ynoa should continue to work in long relief over the next couple weeks.

Gives up pair of homers Ynoa allowed two runs on four hits and three walks in one-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Wenesday. He didn't strike out a batter.
Impact Ynoa escaped disaster after a double and a pair of walks loaded the bases in the first inning. He failed to retire any of the first four batters in the second, allowing solo shots to Gary Sanchez and Clint Frazier as well as walking Brett Gardner and giving up a single to DJ LeMahieu before reliever Tyler Matzek entered the game. Ynoa has given up three runs in 3.1 innings across two appearances. The 22-year-old has been thrust into a starting role with injuries to Mike Soroak (Achilles) and Cole Hamels (triceps). Ynoa projects to make his next start Monday versus the Nationals.

Receives another start Ynoa will start Wednesday's game against the Yankees, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 22-year-old made his first big-league start during Sunday's doubleheader, and he allowed allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one over 2.1 innings. Manager Brian Snitker said Ynoa would pitch as deep into the game as possible Wednesday, but he may be limited to around four innings after reaching 39 pitches in his first start.

Effective in brief start Ynoa allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one over 2.1 innings in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies. He didn't factor into the decision.
Impact Ynoa made his first MLB start in the first game of Sunday's twin bill, and he limited the Phillies' production despite lasting just 39 pitches. While the right-hander could be available to make spot starts for Atlanta this year, his primary role with the pitching staff should be as a lower-leverage reliever.
