6 years agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint will remain in the starting rotation for now, manager Brian Snitker said. Toussaint came on for the ineffective Sean Newcomb on Saturday and allowed just one unearned run, four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings, throwing 53 of his 85 pitches for strikes. Newcomb has since been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to iron out his control issues. Toussaint is worth grabbing in all NL-only fantasy leagues, and he is an outstanding long-term keeper option, too. Toussaint is scheduled to face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon at SunTrust Park.--Daniel Dobish
