Scheduled to start Saturday Erlin is scheduled to start Saturday against the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Erlin earned himself another turn through the rotation after tossing four scoreless innings -- allowing just one hit while striking out five batters -- his last time out. As a result of the southpaw getting another start, Touki Toussaint will move back to start Sunday's series finale on an extra day of rest.

Dominant against Marlins Erlin tossed four scoreless innings in Sunday's win against the Marlins but didn't factor into the decision. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out five.
Impact After a shaky first outing with Atlanta, Erlin turned things around Sunday as the Braves' pitching staff held the Marlins to just two hits. However, the southpaw didn't receive any run support early in the game, so he had to settle for a no-decision. Since the Braves are off over three of the next 11 days, it's unclear when Erlin will make his next start.

Starting Sunday Erlin will start Sunday in the series finale against the Marlins.
Impact Erlin's debut for the Braves didn't go as planned as the southpaw gave up four runs in 2.2 innings out of the bullpen Monday against the Phillies. The Marlins offense may look like an easier matchup than the Phillies on paper, but Miami is starting to return some of its key players from the COVID-19 injured list and could present Erlin with another long outing Sunday afternoon.

Rough team debut Erlin pitched 2.2 innings of relief in Monday's loss to the Phillies, giving up four runs on four hits, including three home runs. He struck out five.
Impact The whiffs were nice, but otherwise this was an awful debut in an Atlanta uniform for Erlin, who was claimed off waivers from the Pirates over the weekend. The 29-year-old southpaw could stick around in a low-leverage long-relief capacity given the tattered state of the team's rotation, but after throwing 43 pitches (30 strikes) Monday, he could also be shuffled off the active roster fairly quickly for a fresh arm.
