Didier Fuentes "In Discussions" to Earn MLB Promotion
Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Didier Fuentes is "part of the discussion" to join the MLB roster in the coming days, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Fuentes is credited as being a "top option" to provide Atlanta with some pitching depth. While it is yet to be decided whether Fuentes will earn another opportunity as a starter, it appears he is quickly approaching a return to the big leagues. Out of spring training, Fuentes broke camp with the MLB roster as a long reliever but appeared in only one outing before being sent back to Triple-A. With Triple-A, Fuentes has operated as a full-time starter and has been able to log at least six innings of work in each of his last two outings. During this two-game stretch, Fuentes has allowed four runs (13 innings), while striking out 13 batters. While his fantasy upside would be limited if he were to operate out of the bullpen, he could be worth a speculative stash ahead of his eventual promotion in 12-team leagues.
