Braves' Burkhalter Debut Countdown | Atlanta Braves News

The Braves are making a bold move for September, adding Kyle Farmer as a versatile bench player and unleashing Blake Burkhalter — a former Rule Five draft bust turned bullpen ace — for his major league debut. After overcoming a back injury and transitioning from rotation to relief, Burkhalter dominated at Triple-A with a 1.26 ERA and elite stuff, including a top-tier cutter and 94 mph fastball. His performance has the Braves excited to see how he fares against MLB hitters, especially as they head into the postseason push. Farmer’s role is clear, but Burkhalter’s potential could shake up the bullpen in a big way. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
