The Atlanta Braves have traded reliever Nick Anderson to the Kansas City Royals for cash considerations. Anderson, who was signed as a free agent last year, had a strong start to the season but was placed on the injured list with a shoulder strain in July. With the return of other pitchers, Anderson became a non-tender candidate for the Braves.
The Atlanta Braves have reinstated Jesse Chavez from the injured list, providing a boost to their bullpen. Chavez had been out since June with a microfracture in his leg but recently completed a successful rehab assignment. He hopes to be an option for the postseason. Additionally, Nick Anderson, Collin McHugh, and Daysbel Hernandez will begin rehab assignments, potentially strengthening the bullpen further.
Matt McLain, James Paxton, Alex Kirilloff, Nick Anderson, and Nick Senzel are all widely available players in Yahoo Fantasy Baseball formats that may be worth adding to your team. McLain is expected to be called up by Cincinnati and has power/speed upside in a hitter-friendly park. Paxton is a clear injury risk but has shown dominant stuff in his season debut. Kirilloff is settling in as Minnesota’s first baseman and has looked great since returning from wrist surgery. Anderson is a sneaky stash for saves on an Atlanta team that should provide many opportunities. Senzel has been a bust in the past but has real fantasy upside and is eligible at third base and outfield.
The Atlanta Braves have placed Kyle Wright on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation and have called up Nick Anderson to begin the year in the bullpen. Wright is expected to make his season debut during the Braves' second home series against the Reds. Anderson, who signed with Atlanta early in the offseason, has had a healthy and productive spring and could be a prominent figure in the bullpen mix.
Nick Anderson and Michael Tonkin will be part of the Atlanta Braves' bullpen on Opening Day, while Kyle Wright will start the season on the injured list. The rest of the pitching staff is coming into view, with Jared Shuster and Jesse Chavez needing to be added to the 40-man roster prior to Opening Day.
