Earns first MLB win Muller (1-1) fired five shutout innings Sunday, yielding just one hit and two walks while earning a win over the Reds. He struck out nine batters.
Impact Muller was outstanding in his third big-league appearance, mowing through Cincinnati's lineup on the way to his first career win. He allowed just three base runners and worked himself out of a small jam with two on and one out in the third inning. The 6-foot-7 rookie now owns a 13:4 K:BB alongside a 2.70 ERA through 10 frames. Muller is projected to face the Marlins at home next weekend assuming he gets another turn in the rotation.

Recalled for Sunday's start Muller was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
Impact The left-hander served as the 27th man in Monday's doubleheader and allowed three runs over five innings during the first start of his MLB career, and he'll take the mound again in Sunday's series finale. Muller could receive a longer look in the rotation with another decent start, since the expected return of Max Fried (blister) from the injured list this week will still leave Atlanta without a fifth starter.

Confirmed as Sunday's starter Manager Brian Snitker confirmed that Muller will start Sunday's game against the Reds, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact All signs were pointing toward Muller getting the ball in place of Max Fried (blister) and the skipper has now confirmed that the southpaw will make his second big-league start during the series finale. Muller took the loss in his first major-league start Monday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks across four innings. He'll look to work deeper into the game Sunday.

Takes loss in first start Muller (0-1) took the loss in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets, allowing one run on one hit and two walks across four innings. He struck out three.
Impact Muller made his first major-league appearance in relief June 16, allowing two runs on four hits in one inning against the Red Sox. He was sent back to Triple-A shortly after the rough first appearance but still got the call to start the first half of Monday's twin bill. He fared much better in his first big-league start, as the lone run charged to him came on a walk, pair of productive outs and wild pitch in the first inning. The left-hander was called up as the 27th man for the doubleheader, so unless Atlanta makes another transaction, he'll likely be heading back to Triple-A Gwinnett following Game 2.

Gets starting nod in Game 1 Muller will start the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Mets, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Muller will face the unenviable task of opposing Mets ace Jacob deGrom in Game 1 of the twin bill, making it difficult to depend on the lefty rookie to come away with a win even if he pitches well in his first MLB start. Ian Anderson is slated to start Game 2 of the twin bill.

Promotion official Atlanta recalled Muller from Triple-A Gwinnett and designated him as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader with the Mets.
Impact Manager Brian Snitker confirmed Sunday that Muller would start one of the two games of the twin bill, but Atlanta has yet to officially announce whether the rookie will take the hill for the first or second contest. Ian Anderson will start the other game for Atlanta.

Impact Ian Anderson will start the other doubleheader game, but Atlanta has yet to decide whether Anderson or Muller will get the ball for the first contest. Muller made his MLB debut last week against Boston in a relief role, giving up two runs on four hits over an inning of relief. He's fared better over his seven starts with Gwinnett, compiling a 4.90 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and a 41:19 K:BB in 31.1 innings.

Likely to start Monday Muller will likely start one of the two games in Monday's doubleheader against the Mets, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Muller made his major-league debut Wednesday but was sent back to the minors Thursday after he allowed two runs on four hits in one inning. Although the team hasn't made an official announcement, the southpaw is the most likely option to take the mound as part of a twin bill Monday.

Heads back to minors Muller was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Impact Muller spent just a single day on the active roster but did get the chance to make his major-league debut. His outing didn't go well, however, as he allowed two runs on four hits in a single inning of work. Jacob Webb was recalled in a corresponding move.

Recalled by Atlanta Muller was recalled by Atlanta on Wednesday.
Impact Muller was added to the 40-man roster in November, and he'll now be in line to make his major-league debut after Tucker Davidson (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The southpaw made seven starts for Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the year and posted a 4.60 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 31.1 innings.
