Placed on injured list Newcomb was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Saturday.

Impact Although Atlanta hasn't given a reason for Newcomb's placement on the injured list, he's apparently away from the team after a potential exposure to someone who had tested positive for COVID-19, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. As long as Newcomb doesn't test positive, he'll be able to return once he clears the league's health and safety protocols. Right-hander Bryse Wilson was recalled in a corresponding move to take Newcomb's place in the bullpen.

Notches first save Newcomb struck out all three batters he faced in the seventh inning to record his first save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Nationals during the second game of Wednesday's dou...

Impact With Will Smith and A.J. Minter both having pitched in the opener and Chris Martin (finger) unavailable, the save chance fell to Newcomb and he more than rose to the occasion. It's only his second career save, and given the depth of the Atlanta bullpen as well as his own erratic track record, Newcomb seems unlikely to get another in 2021. If he continues to fan batters however -- all five of his outs in his first two appearances this season have been strikeouts -- Newcomb could work himself into a high-leverage role.

Resumes pitching at camp Newcomb has made three Grapefruit League appearances since rejoining Atlanta earlier this month after clearing COVID-19 protocols, covering three innings and giving up no runs on t...

Impact Newcomb hasn't recorded more than four outs in any of his appearances, suggesting Atlanta is viewing him as a reliever after he made four unsuccessful starts for the big club in 2020. Since Newcomb still has a minor-league option remaining, he may have a tough time winning a spot in Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen even though he's come on strong of late.

MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out due to COVID-19 protocols Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Saturday that Newcomb will be away from the team after a potential exposure to somebody with COVID-19, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Newcomb hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll be away from camp as a precautionary measure to prevent potential exposure within the clubhouse. It's not yet clear when he'll be cleared to return, but he should still have plenty of time to prepare for the start of the regular season if he continues to test negative.

Heads back to alternate site The Braves optioned Newcomb to their alternate training site Monday.

Impact Though Atlanta brought Newcomb up from the alternate site Saturday to provide a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for the final two games of its series with the Nationals, the lefty went unused in both contests. He'll now lose out on his spot on the 28-man active roster with Atlanta bringing up Touki Toussaint to make a spot start in Monday's series opener in Baltimore.

Braves option Sean Newcomb to minor league camp 2020 has not gone well for Newcomb, who holds a 11.20 ERA after four starts

AUGUST 11, 2020 • TALKINGCHOP.COM

Optioned after disastrous outing Newcomb was optioned to the Braves' alternate site after Monday's game against the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Newcomb did not give his team a chance Monday, allowing eight runs on six hits -- including two home runs -- over 1.1 innings. His ERA now sits at 11.20 through 13.2 innings, and the Braves have decided to make do with their other options rather than turn back to Newcomb the next time through the rotation. Manager Brian Snitker indicated the team is leaning toward bringing up a prospect to replace Newcomb.

Tagged with loss against Blue Jays Newcomb (0-1) allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Impact This qualifies as a step forward for Newcomb after he was rocked for six runs in 4.1 innings against the Mets last week, but it still was not a particularly impressive outing. He induced just seven swinging strikes and could not get through five on 92 pitches. Newcomb is best suited for bullpen duty, but with Mike Soroka (Achilles) out for the year and Cole Hamels (triceps) still sidelined indefinitely, the Braves don't have much of a choice but to trot Newcomb out there every fifth day.
