After his second consecutive quality start for the Atlanta Braves on Monday night, the same question is starting to be asked more and more. Should Huascar Ynoa stay in the Atlanta Braves rotation?

Huascar Ynoa was already a member of the Atlanta Braves bullpen coming into this season. However, when manager Brian Snitker opted to go with an “opener” last Wednesday against the Nationals, the young 22-year-old’s number was called to start over calling up one of the other Braves younger pitchers in the minor leagues.
