The Braves recalled right-hander Bryse Wilson to start the series opener against the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Wilson, 23, has made three starts this season. He has a 6.75 ERA across 12 innings, striking out six and walking five. The Braves already had an open roster spot after making a series of moves Monday.
This will be the latest audition for Wilson, who needs to make the most of every opportunity as he tries to secure a more permanent role with the organization in the future. The Braves have Wilson and Kyle Wright as young rotation depth in Triple-A. Righty Huascar Ynoa initially was considered in the same tier, but the 22-year-old has taken off in 2021 and been the team’s most productive starter thus far.
Tuesday is a relatively big game for the Braves. They’re 17-17 and trying to move above .500 for the first time this season. Left-hander Robbie Ray will start for the Blue Jays, who swept the Braves earlier this month in Dunedin, Florida.
Max Fried, who last pitched May 5, will start Wednesday, followed by Charlie Morton. Lefty Drew Smyly will start Friday when the Braves open a three-game series in Milwaukee.
