Runs up pitch count in no-decision Fuentes did not factor into Wednesday's decision against the Angels, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six across 3.2 innings.

Impact Fuentes put Atlanta behind early, when he yielded a two-run single to Jo Adell in the first. Fuentes kept the Halos off the board for the rest of his outing, and while he he ran his count up to 92 pitches (52 strikes), he managed to generate 10 whiffs and log a season-high six punchouts. Fuentes has not made it through four innings in each of his last two outings and has given up 12 runs over his first 12 big-league innings. He's adjusting to major-league hitting, but his call-up from Triple-A Gwinnett was out of necessity with four Atlanta starters on the injured list, most recently Chris Sale (ribs) and Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow). Fuentes is lined up to make his next start on the road against the Athletics next week.

Next start coming Wednesday Fuentes' next start has been pushed back to Wednesday's series finale with the Angels, with Grant Holmes moving up a day to start Tuesday's contest, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though Fuentes will still face the same opponent as a result of the late change in Atlanta's pitching schedule, he no longer lines up for a two-start week, as Holmes is now on track to take the hill for Sunday's series finale with the Orioles. Atlanta has its next off day coming Monday, so the club would have the option of pushing Fuentes to the back of its pitching schedule during the final week before the All-Star break. Fuentes is one of Atlanta's top pitching prospects, but he's had a rough go in his first two big-league starts, giving up 10 earned runs on 14 hits and one walk while striking out four across 8.1 innings in losses to the Marlins and Mets.

Hit hard in loss Fuentes (0-2) was the pitcher of record in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and no walks with one strikeout over 3.1 innings.

Impact Fuentes opened with two scoreless innings but was charged with six runs while failing to escape the fourth. He generated just five swinging strikes on 74 pitches and has now surrendered 10 earned runs with a 4:1 K:BB over 8.1 innings across his first two major-league starts. Atlanta has an off day coming up Monday, which could allow the team to reorder its rotation and delay Fuentes' next start until July 5 versus the Orioles. If Atlanta elects to keep its rotation order intact, however, Fuentes would likely make his next turn Tuesday versus the Angels.

Receiving another start Fuentes is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Mets at Citi Field.

Impact When he was initially called up from Triple-A Gwinnett last week to make his MLB debut, Fuentes was expected to make a spot start before returning to the minors. However, with Chris Sale being diagnosed over the weekend with a fractured left ribcage that will keep him on the shelf through at least the All-Star break, Fuentes should be in store for multiple turns through the rotation. Though the 20-year-old righty is regarded as one of Atlanta's top prospects, he had a so-so debut outing last Friday against a weak Miami offense, giving up four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings. He'll make for a risky streaming option while he takes the hill for his second start in a tougher matchup Wednesday on the road against the Mets.

Allows four runs in debut Fuentes (0-1) took the loss after throwing five innings, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three, during Friday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Fuentes' meteoric rise through the Atlanta minor-league system culminated with his first career MLB start Friday. He displayed his electric stuff and picked up his first MLB strikeout in the second inning on Dane Myers, and he ended up battling his way through five innings. The big blemish was a three-run home run surrendered to Agustin Ramirez, but otherwise it was a good debut for the 20-year-old rookie right-hander. The expectation is that this was just a spot start to give all of the starters an extra day of rest, so he'll likely be sent back down to the minors soon.

JUNE 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted ahead of MLB debut Atlanta selected Fuentes' contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Impact Fuentes will make his major-league debut Friday with a start in Miami. The 20-year-old began the season at the High-A level but was recently promoted to Gwinnett, and he has collected a 2.41 ERA and 23:4 K:BB over 18.2 innings covering his last four outings. It's expected to be just a spot start for Fuentes as Atlanta looks to give their regular rotation members some extra rest.
