4 years agoAtlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Huascar Ynoa has been tabbed to start the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Phillies, which will mark the first big league start of his career. Atlanta’s pitching staff has been in flux since ace Mike Soroka went down earlier in the week with an Achilles tear, ending his season. Ynoa appeared in two games last season out of relief for Atlanta, combining to allow six runs in three innings. It’s unlikely that Ynoa -- who posted a 5.33 ERA in 17 appearances (14 starts) at Triple-A last season -- is stretched out enough to factor in as a DFS option Sunday, especially considering the thump in the Philadelphia lineup.--Jesse Borek
