• Braves' Darius Vines: Outrighted to Double-A

  08/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta outrighted Vines to Double-A Mississippi on Friday, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Fan reports. It's a little surprising that Vines passed through waivers unclaimed, but he will remain in the organization as rotation depth at Mississippi. Vines, 26, holds a 5.82 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 34 innings during parts of two seasons at the major-league level.

• Braves' Darius Vines: Called up from Triple-A

  07/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta recalled Vines from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Grant Holmes is scheduled to make his first MLB start Monday, but because he hasn't covered more than 3.1 innings in his 10 appearances since joining Atlanta in mid-June, he could be on a limited pitch count in the series opener in Milwaukee. With that in mind, Vines could be needed out of the bullpen to provide length behind Holmes. Vines has been a regular member of Gwinnett's rotation this season, but he's struggled over his three outings (two starts) with the big club in 2024, giving up 11 runs on 17 hits and four walks over 12.2 innings. If he isn't needed to work behind Holmes on Monday, Vines could be a candidate to fill the opening Atlanta has in its rotation for Tuesday's contest versus the Brewers.

• Braves' Darius Vines: Sent back to Gwinnett

  05/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta optioned Vines to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Vines was recalled from Triple-A on Monday to give Atlanta additional bullpen depth, and he will now head back to the minors after allowing six earned runs in three innings during Friday's loss to the Pirates. The 26-year-old righty owns a 7.82 ERA through 12.2 big-league innings but could still provide depth for the big-league staff later in the year.

• Braves' Darius Vines: Back in big leagues

  05/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta recalled Vines from Triple-A Gwinnett after Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against San Diego. The right-hander was sent down in April after he gave up five runs over 9.2 frames in two starts for Atlanta, and he'll rejoin the big club ahead of Game 2 of Monday's twin bill. Vines will immediately be available out of the bullpen, but he could start Thursday against the Cubs if he's not called upon in the next couple days.

• Braves' Darius Vines: Solid in short outing

  04/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Vines allowed one run on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out four in the win over Houston. Vines was tagged with a run in the first inning but was able to settle in and put together a decent performance. He threw 46 of 80 pitches for strikes, including nine whiffs. It was Vines' first MLB appearance since Sep. 27 of last season. The 25-year-old likely pitched well enough to earn another turn in the rotation, but Atlanta's long-term plan to replace Spencer Strider (elbow) remains unclear for now.
