The Atlanta Braves acquired Yonny Chirinos as part of their season-long search to fill the fifth spot in their rotation. Chirinos, who came over from the Rays, wasn’t particularly effective, despite some promising small-sample peripherals, and finished the season on the Injured List.
How Acquired?
The Braves claimed Chirinos off of waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on July 23. Chirinos had barely pitched from 2020-2022 due to elbow issues, and was a shell of his former self with the Rays, with an aggregate 98/133/126 line (ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-) before being waived.
