Sticking in rotation Muller is scheduled to start the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Mets, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact After being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Muller got the ball for the first game of a doubleheader with the Padres. He allowed only one run over four innings in the start, but he needed 87 pitches to record his 12 outs and was stuck with the loss. Muller's solid numbers overall through his first five big-league outings (3.20 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 23:11 K:BB in 19.2 innings) coupled with the depleted state of the Atlanta rotation means that the rookie should have some stability in a starting role for the remainder of the season.

Inefficient in loss Muller (1-3) allowed one run on two hits and three walks in four innings, striking out one and taking the loss in Wednesday's 3-2, Game 1 defeat against the Padres.
Impact Largely due to the trio of free passes and the Padres' working a lot of deep counts, Muller required 87 pitches to get through four frames. The rookie fared well in limiting San Diego's potent lineup to a single run, but the lack of run support while he was in the game resulted in a loss, his third in four starts. A frequent traveler between Atlanta and Triple-A Gwinnett, Muller now has a 3.20 ERA and 23:11 K:BB in 19.2 big-league innings this season and figures to stay in the starting rotation for the remainder of the regular season. He's expected to make his next start Monday against the Mets.

Padres-Braves rained out, doubleheader set for Wednesday
The game between the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres was postponed on Monday night because of rain and will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on WednesdayJULY 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Monday's start postponed Muller won't start as scheduled Monday versus the Padres since the game was postponed due to rain.
Impact The young lefty was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier in the day to make his first big-league start since July 3, but he'll need to wait a bit longer before retaking the mound. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, so Muller still figures to start at some point against San Diego, though Atlanta has yet to announce it's updated pitching plans.

Called up ahead of start Atlanta recalled Muller from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his scheduled start Monday against the Padres.
Impact As expected, Muller will slot back into the Atlanta rotation for the second half after he was sent back to Gwinnett on July 4 only because he wasn't scheduled to make another start prior to the All-Star break. The 23-year-old lefty found success over his first three big-league starts, allowing four runs on five hits and eight walks while striking out 19 in 14.2 innings. He should have a relatively long leash in the Atlanta rotation while all of Ian Anderson (shoulder), Huascar Ynoa (hand) and Tucker Davidson (forearm) are on the injured list.

On track to start Monday Atlanta is expected to recall Muller from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Monday's game against the Padres, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact The big club optioned Muller to Gwinnett on July 4, but his demotion was mostly a means of roster management, since his turn in the rotation wasn't scheduled to come up again until after the All-Star break. The young southpaw is now in line to get the ball for Atlanta's fourth game of the second half, after he impressed in his first four starts with the big club (3.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP over 15.2 innings).

Will rejoin Braves after break Muller will return to the Braves' starting rotation following the All-Star break, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Braves' schedule through Sunday doesn't necessitate a five-man rotation, so Muller was sent down simply to add an outfielder in Orlando Arcia. Given his solid performance thus far in 2021, Muller figures to be a staple in the second-half rotation.

Optioned to Triple-A The Braves optioned Muller to Triple-A Gwinnett following Saturday's game against the Marlins.
Impact The lefty has been decent, giving up no more than three runs in any of his three starts this season. Muller has a 3.45 ERA through 15.2 innings pitched, but apparently the Braves felt a greater need for a position player in Orlando Arcia, whom they recalled in a corresponding move.

Fans seven in loss Muller (1-2) took the loss Saturday as Atlanta fell 3-2 to the Marlins. He gave up three runs on four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings and struck out seven.
Impact The young southpaw came just short of recording his first career quality start, getting the hook after 102 pitches (60 strikes) when he issued a two-out walk to Jesus Sanchez in the sixth inning. Muller has provided the Atlanta rotation with a shot in the arm since his mid-June promotion, posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB through 14.2 innings over his first three big-league starts.
