  • Rough start to season
    Gonzalez has an 11.12 ERA and 2.88 WHIP over three appearances (two starts) at Double-A Portland.

    Advice: Control has long been a challenge for Gonzalez, who is showing it to be more so at the start of the 2024 season. He walked eight batters over his first two starts -- he lasted just two-thirds of an inning in his second start -- and has nine overall in 5.2 innings. The right-hander had an encouraging third outing Sunday, when he walked only one over three scoreless innings as a piggyback starter. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

    Braves optioned RHP Darius Vines to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Vines was shipped back to the minors on Monday after allowing four runs over five innings on Sunday in a spot start against the Rangers.

  • Allows walk-off homer
    Nelson allowed one run on one hit without retiring a batter in Monday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis.

    Advice: Nelson's outing lasted one pitch, a hanging slider that Nolan Gorman sent over the right-center field fence for a walk-off, two-run home run. This was the third consecutive game with at least one run allowed by Nelson, who had opened the season with 9.1 scoreless innings. Rotowire.com Today, 3:24 am
     
  • Takes loss Monday
    Thompson (0-1) was tagged with Monday's loss to the Cardinals, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one over one-plus innings.

    Advice: Thompson executed a perfect 1-2-3 eighth inning before giving up a leadoff infield single to open the bottom of the ninth. He was replaced by Kyle Nelson for a lefty-on-lefty matchup, but the at-bat lasted one pitch. Nolan Gorman tattooed a hanging slider for a walk-off, two-run home run. Thompson has pitched well thus far, posting a 1.86 ERA with four holds through 10 outings (eight scoreless). He'll continue to serve in a setup role for Kevin Ginkel then Paul Sewald (oblique) when he's ready to return. Rotowire.com Today, 3:20 am
     
  • Belts fifth long ball in victory
    Conforto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run Monday in a 5-2 win against the Mets.

    Advice: Conforto scored San Francisco's first run after singling in the second inning, and he accounted for the team's final tally with a solo shot to right field in the sixth. The performance snapped a nine-game stretch during which the veteran batted just .171 and failed to register a multi-hit effort. Despite that cold snap, Conforto has started the season well, posting a .271/.311/.506 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 13 runs through 90 plate appearances.

  • Allows five runs in loss
    Quintana (1-2) took the loss against San Francisco on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

    Advice: Quintana wasn't sharp in the outing, inducing just four swinging strikes and giving up a season-high five runs. The veteran hurler also yielded a season high in hits and walked multiple batters for the fifth straight start. Quintana had managed a solid 3.05 ERA despite a poor 16:11 K:BB and 1.50 WHIP coming into Monday, but the outing against the Giants paints a more reasonable picture of what to expect from the left-hander if he continues to allow batters to reach base at a high rate.
