Braves Option Didier Fuentes Triple-A Recall Nathan Wiles

News summary

The Atlanta Braves have optioned 20-year-old pitcher Didier Fuentes back to Triple-A Gwinnett after a challenging start to his major league career, where he posted a 13.85 ERA and struggled in four starts. Fuentes, the youngest starting pitcher for the Braves in over 19 years, has shown potential with his pitch arsenal but needs more time to build confidence and refine his skills in a more familiar environment. In his place, the Braves recalled 25-year-old right-hander Nathan Wiles, who has been performing steadily in Triple-A with a 3.33 ERA and will likely fill one of the rotation spots left open due to injuries. Wiles, who previously made a brief and difficult MLB debut, now has a real opportunity to prove himself as a starter. Braves manager Brian Snitker emphasized that Fuentes is not yet mature enough for the major leagues and will benefit from more innings and experience before returning. Despite long-term injuries in the Braves' pitching staff, the team prioritized Fuentes' development and confidence over rushing him through the rotation.
