Yankees' Allan Winans: Stumbles in season debut
Rotowire
Winans (0-1) yielded four runs on five hits over 4.1 innings Monday, striking out one and taking a loss against the Reds.
Winans worked through three scoreless innings before falling apart in the fourth. The Reds plated three runs in the frame, capped off by Gavin Lux's solo shot, before adding another run in the fifth inning. Winans was promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for Monday's outing and threw only 62 pitches before getting the hook. As things stand, he will likely be sent back down rather than sticking around in the rotation.

Yankees' Allan Winans: Recalled ahead of Monday's start
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Winans from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Winans will start Monday's game in Cincinnati, filling in for the injured Ryan Yarbrough (oblique). He earned the promotion after collecting a impressive 0.90 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 59:13 K:BB over 50 innings at Triple-A. With Marcus Stroman (knee) nearing a return from the injured list, Winans may be in line for just one start with the Yankees.

Yankees' Allan Winans: Set for team debut Monday
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Winans will be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Monday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Monday's scheduled starter Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) landed on the injured list, and Winans will step in to start for New York. The right-hander has been dominant at Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes-Barre this season with a 0.90 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 59:13 K:BB over 50 innings. Monday's outing will likely be just a spot start for Winans since Marcus Stroman (knee) is nearing his return from the IL.

Yankees' Allan Winans: Option to join rotation
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Winans is an option to join the rotation after Carlos Carrasco was designated for assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Boone also mentioned Ryan Yarbrough as a possibility to make starts for the club. Marcus Stroman (knee) has resumed throwing off a mound and could rejoin the rotation later this month, but the Yankees will need someone else to fill the spot for at least a couple turns. Winans has yet to give up an earned run in 14 innings this season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, collecting a 24:5 K:BB along the way.

Yankees' Allan Winans: Selected from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Yankees selected Winans' contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
With the Yankees placing Marcus Stroman (knee) on the injured list, Winans will come up from the minors to fill the open roster spot. However, he is considered unlikely to step into the rotation with Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) due back next week. The 29-year-old Winans owns a 7.20 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across eight starts in his big-league career, but he logged 2.2 shutout frames during his first outing of the season in Triple-A.

Rotowire
Atlanta designated Winans for assignment Friday.
The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for Amos Willingham, who was claimed off waivers. Winans, 29, has made eight starts at the big-league level since the beginning of the 2023 season, putting up a 7.20 ERA and 38:12 K:BB across 40 innings.

Braves' Allan Winans: Back to Triple-A after poor start
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Winans to Triple-A Gwinnett following its 9-4 loss to Cincinnati in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday.
Called up from Gwinnett earlier in the day to make his second start of the season with Atlanta in the opening game of the twin bill, Winans dropped to 0-2 after giving up seven earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings. Though Atlanta has a spot open in its rotation with Max Fried (forearm) on the injured list, Winans took himself out of consideration for another start after his rough showing Wednesday. Atlanta called up lefty Zach Logue from Gwinnett in a corresponding move to provide some length out of the bullpen for the second game of the doubleheader.

Braves' Allan Winans: Called up, starting matinee
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Winans from Triple-A Gwinnett. He'll start the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds at Truist Park.
Left-hander Dylan Dodd was sent out to Triple-A Gwinnett to open up room on the roster for Winans, who is back with Atlanta for the first time since April 11, when he gave up seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a spot start versus the Mets. Winans could have the opportunity to stick around with Atlanta on a more permanent basis this time around, as the club has an opening in the rotation while Max Fried (forearm) is on the shelf. The right-hander will first need to acquit himself well in Wednesday's start before putting himself in consideration for additional turns through the rotation.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Thursday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The move comes immediately after Winans was torched for seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a loss to the Mets. Atlanta will need a starter again next week to fill the spot vacated by Spencer Strider (elbow). Bryce Elder, AJ Smith-Shawver, Darius Vines, Dylan Dodd and Hurston Waldrep are candidates to step in.

Braves' Allan Winans: New York-Atlanta postponed Wednesday
Rotowire
Winans and Atlanta won't play the Mets on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to a forecast of inclement weather in the Atlanta area.
The two teams will make up the postponed game Sept. 26. Winans had been scheduled to start Wednesday in the rotation spot that previously belonged to Spencer Strider (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend. Winans' start will be moved to Thursday's series finale, pushing each of the team's other four starters back a day.

Braves' Allan Winans: Draws start Wednesday
Rotowire
Winans is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Mets in Atlanta, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday in a corresponding move for ace Spencer Strider's (elbow) placement on the 15-day injured list, but the expectation was that Winans would be available as a long-relief option for a few days. After going unused Sunday through Tuesday, however, Winans will ultimately take Strider's spot in the rotation, at least for now. Though 2023 All-Star Bryce Elder -- who is currently with Gwinnett -- seems to be a more likely candidate to serve as a longer-term replacement during Strider's stay on the IL, Winans will get the first chance to prove he belongs in the big-league rotation. The 28-year-old previously made six starts for Atlanta as a rookie in 2023, logging a 5.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 34:8 K:BB over 32.1 innings.

Braves' Allan Winans: Joins big-league bullpen
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Winans from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Though he had been a member of Gwinnett's season-opening rotation and will now move up to Atlanta as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for staff ace Spencer Strider (elbow), Winans is expected to provide the big club with a fresh arm in the bullpen who's capable of covering multiple innings. AJ Smith-Shawver, Dylan Dodd, Darius Vines and Huascar Ynoa are all already on the 40-man roster and could be candidates to enter the rotation when Atlanta next needs a fifth starter Wednesday versus the Mets, while Bryce Elder pitched four innings for Gwinnett on Saturday and likely won't be in consideration to replace Strider right away since he would be pitching on only three days' rest.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Monday.
Atlanta is now left with 53 players in camp after making a handful of cuts. Winans held a 5.29 ERA but a 34:8 K:BB over 32.1 innings covering six starts in the majors last season and figures to wind up spending some time with the big club in 2024.

Braves' Allan Winans: Picks up another start
Rotowire
Winans is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Nationals at Truist Park.
Max Fried (finger) and Charlie Morton (finger) are closing the regular season on the injured list, so Atlanta will at least temporarily have room in the rotation for Winans. In his return to the big leagues last weekend for a doubleheader in Washington, Winans took a loss in the opener of the twin bill while striking out six and giving up two earned runs over five innings. Through five starts with the big club this season, Winans owns a 1-2 record to go with a 4.33 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned after spot start
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Winans was excellent in a spot start for Atlanta in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Pirates, fanning eight batters while yielding just two runs over 6.1 innings in a no-decision. He could have set himself up for another spot start with the big club down the stretch, but for now, Atlanta will send him down to the minors to make room for a fresh bullpen arm.

Braves' Allan Winans: Recalled for Sunday's start
Rotowire
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his start Sunday against the Pirates.
The rookie right-hander made his last start in the majors Aug. 21 versus the Mets and was tagged for seven earned runs over 4.1 frames, but he'll receive another opportunity Sunday. Winans has made two other starts for Atlanta this season and fared much better in those outings with a 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned after rough start
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
The transaction comes one day after Winans was roughed up for seven runs on nine hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a spot start against the Mets. He had been a candidate to pick up another start over the weekend if things went well Monday, but Atlanta now needs his roster spot for bullpen reinforcement.

Braves' Allan Winans: Recalled for Monday's start
Rotowire
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Winans will pitch Monday's series opener versus the Mets and could be in store for a two-start week while he enters the rotation as a replacement for Yonny Chirinos (elbow), who landed on the injured list. The 28-year-old rookie has been excellent in two starts for Atlanta this season, holding a 1.59 ERA and 14:3 K:BB over 11.1 innings. He's worth a look in deeper leagues.
