Huascar Ynoa missed the 2023 season while recovering from having undergone Tommy John Surgery back in September 2022. However, he is expected to be ready to contribute as 2024 arrives. Furthermore, with the departure of other arms from the organization, Atlanta has hopes Ynoa could provide needed pitching depth for 2024 and beyond.
How Acquired
Ynoa signed with the Minnesota Twins as an international free agent back in 2014. He was acquired by the Braves in 2017 in a deal that sent Jaime Garcia and Anthony Recker to the Twins. He has appeared for the Braves across four seasons from 2019-2022, and is under team control through 2026.
