Braves' Snitker ponders 6th starter as he studies rotation
Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker says he's considering all options, including a six-man rotation or an opener, as he looks for answers in his starting rotationMARCH 21, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Quick start to spring Muller gave up one hit over two scoreless innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, striking out two without walking a batter.
Impact It was a good first appearance of the spring for the southpaw, who's competing with Tucker Davidson and Kyle Wright for a spot at the back of the Atlanta rotation. Muller, a second-round pick in the 2016 Draft, got his first taste of the majors last season, and while he has a strong arsenal of pitches, his 12.9 percent walk rate will need some work if he's going to find consistent success.

Braves' Kyle Muller gets rocked, then optioned; Huascar Ynoa set for return Muller had his worst (and briefest) start Thursday when he was pulled after 2 1/3 innings in a 12-3 loss against the Cincinnati Reds.
AUGUST 13, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Optioned after poor start Muller was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Muller allowed six earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out just one across 2.1 innings Thursday against the Reds. He was also charged with the loss, dropping his record to 2-4. Though Muller had pitched effectively in the rotation since early July, he is seemingly the odd-man out with Huascar Ynoa (hand) set to return Tuesday. Muller's demotion also suggests that Touki Toussaint will remain a starter until Ian Anderson (shoulder) is activated.

Lacks control in no-decision Muller allowed three runs on two hits, two walks and a hit batter while striking out three in 4.2 innings versus Washington on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact In addition to the hit batter, Muller also threw three wild pitches in a game where he didn't have the sharpest control. He was spared the loss when Atlanta rallied ahead in the bottom of the fifth inning. The southpaw has only given up three runs in two of his eight appearances (seven starts) this year. He owns a 2.88 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB across 34.1 innings. Muller lines up for his next start versus Cincinnati next week.

Strikes out seven in solid outing Muller allowed one run on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts through five innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Brewers.
Impact Muller dueled it out with two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff for five innings Saturday night, with the only damage against his line coming on a Manny Pina groundout. While the rookie did push his streak of walking multiple batters to six straight starts, he has allowed just three runs in his last three outings. The Braves added everything but starting pitching at the deadline, so evidently they are confident that Muller and the rest of the rotation can keep them in contention. His next chance will likely come Friday against the Nationals.

Notches second victory Muller (2-3) earned the win after allowing four hits and two walks while striking out three across five scoreless innings in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Impact Muller was impressive in the first half of the twin bill and needed just 75 pitches to get through five strong frames. He appears to have performed well enough in each of his last two outings since being called up to remain part of Atlanta's starting rotation going forward. His next assignment tentatively lines up for Saturday against Milwaukee.
