Braves' Darius Vines: Outrighted to Double-A
Atlanta outrighted Darius 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: Moved off 40-man roster
Atlanta designated Darius Vines for assignment Monday.The transaction comes after Vines allowed three runs (two earned) over an inning out of the Atlanta bullpen earlier Monday in the club's 8-3 loss to the Brewers. Vines has struggled both in the majors (8.56 ERA) and minors (5.14 ERA) this season, but the 26-year-old was viewed as a solid prospect not long ago and could draw some interest via trade or waivers.

Braves' Darius Vines: Called up from Triple-A
Atlanta recalled Darius 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: Optioned after Sunday's start
Darius Vines (0-1) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Rangers, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out two over five innings. He was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following the game, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic.Making his second start for Atlanta, Vines cruised through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth. Evan Carter led off the frame with a solo shot to right center before Andrew Knizner put the Rangers in front with a three-run blast. Outside of the fourth inning, Vines held his own against a dangerous lineup, but he'll head back to Gwinnett nonetheless to gain further seasoning. Atlanta will call up Bryce Elder from Gwinnett to take replace Vines on the 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Marlins.

Braves' Darius Vines: Nabs second start
Darius Vines is slated to start Sunday's game against the Rangers at Truist Park, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.As expected, Vines will wind up getting at least one more turn through the rotation while filling in for Spencer Strider (elbow), who underwent season-ending surgery last week. In his 2024 MLB debut Monday, Vines was dealt a no-decision in Atlanta's 6-1 win over Houston after striking out four over 4.2 innings while allowing one run on four hits and three walks. He was lifted after 80 pitches Monday, but he could have that workload restriction loosened a bit if he's more efficient this weekend in a matchup with the reigning World Series champions. Even though Strider is out of the picture for 2024, Atlanta has plenty of appealing young arms in the upper levels of the minors, so Vines will need to continue to pitch well in his subsequent starts to ensure he sticks in the rotation on a more permanent basis.

Braves' Darius Vines: Solid in short outing

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.

Braves' Darius Vines: Set to start Monday
Darius Vines will start Monday's game against the Astros, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.The 25-year-old was called up by Atlanta on Friday but wasn't needed out of the bullpen in Miami this weekend, so he's now in line to fill the rotation spot that was opened when Spencer Strider (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list.
