Major League Baseball announced this afternoon that it has approved the Braves’ request to scratch right-hander Huascar Ynoa from the team’s roster for the NLCS against the Dodgers. Lefty reliever Dylan Lee has been added in his place.
Ynoa had been slated to open tonight’s bullpen game, but he was diagnosed with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. MLB must approve any injury-related substitution from a team’s playoff roster in the middle of a series, and the league quickly granted the Braves request to remove Ynoa in favor of Lee. Players scratched mid-series are ineligible to participate for the remainder of the current series, as well as the next series should the club advance. Ynoa is thus officially done for the season, as he’d be ineligible to return even if the Braves make the World Series. Jesse Chavez will open tonight instead.
This season, the 23-year-old Ynoa tossed 91 innings of 4.05 ERA ball, starting seventeen of his eighteen outings. He missed a couple months during the middle of the year after fracturing his hand when he punched the dugout after a bad start. It was surely frustrating for the Braves to lose one of their more promising starters for a while in that manner. Still, the team has to be impressed with Ynoa’s performance, as he posted solid strikeout (26.9%), walk (6.7%) and ground-ball (47.3%) rates.
Lee is a 27-year-old rookie who earned a late-season call with an elite showing at Triple-A Gwinnett. He only has two big league innings under his belt, but Lee tossed 46 2/3 frames of 1.54 ERA ball with the Stripers this year.

RIP, he will be missed.
Thoughts & prayers for a full and speedy recovery.

Are you mocking? Seems like you are.

Looks like he’s plagiarizing

I have muted him, he is an EBD cyber stalker.

Curly – I have no issue with him repeating what I sometimes say, it’s a very common expression of support in the United States of America.
But the RIP part is totally inappropriate, and putting my handle and others in his newly created account name is creepy as hell.
Mi Casas es tu Casas
Yes he is an EBD cyber stalker. He is now muted.
The Mets "Missed WAR"
Jesus Christ. I’ve created a monster. You are all welcome. The end of the world is inevitable. This thing has taken on a life of it’s own like Frankenstein. Should be fun to watch. To be honest I was probably a little too hard about it but clearly a lot of people agree do with me. I knew they did because they were the ones that pointed it out. I didn’t know it was this many though. Oh yeah. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
The Mets "Missed WAR"
Wait… Why didn’t @Fever Pitch Guy show up? He doesn’t have thoughts and prayers for Braves players? He’s said it multiple times on other injury posts since this went up so I know he’s still doing it. Probably because it was all fake to begin with.
The Mets "Missed WAR"
That name is not me. I have no idea who that guy is. I certainly would mock myself in a name. I think he’s mocking all of us.
Fever Pitch Guy
bhambrave – He’s trying to get attention by using my handle and others in his new name. Yes it’s psychotic and creepy, and quite sad.

Personally, I don’t like Ynoa as a starter and never will. He has two pitches and one of them he depends on professional hitters to chase. I don’t believe he is a loss at all.
Sadly, Albies is still batting third and is in the lineup. Yesterday’s loss was big and frustrating. It is precisely why the Braves are the Barves. But I think this time they will be fine. Take today’s game.
We all know when the Braves win the series, the last match-up will be between Smith and Bellinger.
TradeAcuna
meant to say *Duvall is in the lineup.
Start. Pache.
SoCalBrave
I wonder what you’ll change your name to tomorrow
TradeAcuna
I have a plan when the Braves win the series.
For now, I still believe Pache should play and Albies moved down.

Duval hit a home run in the Braves win. so shut up with your stupid comments.

Be the bigger person Curly, not a good look. Remember criticizing me for going in on some guy that was celebrating injuries? My my how the turn tables.
Curly Was The Smart Stooge
Yeah “how the turn tables”, brilliant
Mcdusty, go back to digging ditches for a living
Mi Casas es tu Casas
Yes he is an EBD cyber stalker. I have muted him. Karma will deal with him.
Fever Pitch Guy
Curly – Agreed! He might be a Dodgers fan, but most likely he’s just trying to impersonate me. Either way, hope all women and children stay at least 100 feet away from him. Dude is creepy as hell.
Mi Casas es tu Casas
Yes the jerk is an EBD cyber stalker. I have muted him.
Fever Pitch Guy
tstats – Yes he is. Psychotic is the word for somebody who tries to impersonate me by creating a new account with a similar name, hoping that some idiot will think it’s me. Already happened with one person. Hopefully he’ll go back on his meds.
Mi Casas es tu Casas
You are an EBD cyber stalker. I have muted you.

Dude, righteous, but overkill, lol

Seems like the same person who is always the negative Nancy about the Braves has changed his name again. Duvall had hits last night, this Braves team will be just fine.
SoCalBrave
THAT guy couldn’t stop talking about how overrated and a bust Pache was, now he wants him in the line up instead of Duvall
TradeAcuna
Probably he will be bust..who knows. However, I want him in CF for defense. Personally, I believe a good outfielder would have caught the ball Betts hit. Pederson is not great himself but he is hitting.
The Dodgers have a bunch of tier B and C pitchers pitching like Cy youngs coming out of the bullpen…or at least the Braves offense swing and miss like they all are. At this point, I’m past the point where I expect the Braves to score many runs. They need the defense out there to save them.
TradeAcuna
I knew Duvall will hit a homerun. I just felt it after saying the above.
C’mon,
GET
THIS
DONE!
WIN THE GAME!

Give me a break Haha!

3 strikes, yer out!

Feel bad for the kid being injured, bottom line we need to win this series! Point, Blank, Period. Next man up needs to go out and do their job. No more feel good stories, no more growing from this experience cliches and blah, blah, blah. Go out and defeat the LA Dodgers.

Ynoa can be a helluva pitcher if he can add to his repertoire. He’s young and has time to do that.
acmeants
Let’s stick to the topic and stop bashing people.
Perhaps Ynoa has had this issue bothering him and it is just now being identified. Could be the reason for some of his ineffectiveness lately.
TradeAcuna
Clearly, the Braves have not learned to stop giving Martin the ball in a high-stress situations.

Cy-Young Bickford another shut-out inning for the Braves offense.

Cy-young Bickford with another 2 outs

Hopefully Ynoa didn’t do permanent damage to his hand/grip. He wasn’t the same after he came back.
Fred McGriff
Chavez and Smyly were huge, Minter did an excellent job. Dodgers are never done as it’s never over till that final out is made, and the Dodgers have an outstanding record against the Braves at home.. Let’s go Max.
