Recalled by Atlanta Newcomb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact Newcomb was dominant in the minors after he was sent down in late July, and he posted a 0.93 ERA and 0.72 WHIP in 9.2 innings across eight appearances since his demotion. He'll provide an extra arm in the bullpen after right-hander Chris Martin (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Returns to minors Atlanta optioned Newcomb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Impact The southpaw has appeared in three games since his most recent call-up, allowing two runs on six hits and a pair of walks in 3.2 innings. Overall this season, Newcomb has pitched 25.1 innings with a 5.68 ERA and 1.78 WHIP. He certainly could return to Atlanta at some point in 2021 if injuries hit any of the team's relievers.

Back with big club Atlanta recalled Newcomb from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact Atlanta has an opening in the rotation to begin the second half after Ian Anderson (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list last week, but the team will turn to Touki Toussaint to fill the void rather than giving Newcomb another trial as a starter. Due to his spotty control and shallow repertoire, Atlanta seems committed to deploying Newcomb strictly as a reliever at this point in his career. All 29 of his appearances this season between the big club and Triple-A have come out of the bullpen, with Newcomb working no more than two innings in any of those outings.

Recalled by Braves Newcomb was recalled to the Braves' big-league roster Wednesday.

Impact The move comes one week after Newcomb was optioned to make room for Max Fried's return. Now, the lefty replaces Grant Dayton (thigh) on the active roster. Newcomb's two most recent big-league outings were brutal, as he allowed multiple earned runs in both without recording three outs in either. He had been pitching well before, however, with four straight scoreless appearances covering 4.2 innings. He will likely receive some mid-innings opportunities while active.

Optioned to Triple-A Newcomb was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Newcomb had a strong showing during the first several weeks of the season, but he gave up five funs on five hits and two walks while striking out two in one inning across his last two appearances. As a result, he'll head to the minors after left-hander Max Fried (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Could return Friday Newcomb (undisclosed) threw at the alternate training site Tuesday and should be ready to return by Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Newcomb has been on the COVID-19 injured list since April 17 after a potential exposure to someone who had tested positive for the coronavirus. However, manager Brian Snitker is optimistic that Newcomb will be able to rejoin the bullpen for the upcoming road trip that begins Friday.
