O'Day (4-0) pitched a scoreless fifth inning Tuesday, striking out one without allowing a baserunner to pick up an impromptu win during the Braves' 5-1 victory over the Orioles on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Starter Huascar Ynoa (back) threw four scoreless innings, giving up two hits and striking out five, but he was forced to leave the game with back tightness. O'Day was the first man up and recorded his fourth win in 16 appearances thus far, lowering his season ERA to a sparkling 0.64 in the process.

O'Day (3-0) picked up the win in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up one hit in a scoreless fifth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Tommy Milone lasted only four frames as the starter, handing O'Day the win on a platter after he entered the game with a 5-1 lead. The veteran reliever has a sparkling 0.77 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through 11.2 innings this season, but he remains in a fairly low-leverage role with zero saves or holds in 13 appearances.

O'Day gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless innings of relief during Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The sidearmer has had an inconsistent start to 2020 -- while his 2.45 ERA and five strikeouts in 3.2 innings over four appearances are solid, his three walks are a little concerning. O'Day does have a win, but unless he works his way into consistent high-leverage spots, his fantasy ceiling will be limited regardless of how sharp his control is.

O'Day has posted a 0.00 ERA and 4:1 K:BB through three innings this spring.
EDGE Analysis
The 37-year-old righty is expected to provide Atlanta with middle-relief innings this season, and O'Day looked healthy and nearly ready for Opening Day when MLB was put on pause. If he can avoid injuries this year, he could post double-digit holds for the first time since 2017.

O'Day has signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Braves, which includes a $3.5 million club option for 2021.
EDGE Analysis
He logged a 1.69 ERA in eight games for the Braves last season after missing significant time with with a right forearm strain. For O'Day's career (585 games), right-handed hitters have batted just .195 against him. He should work in mid-leverage situations in 2020.

O'Day (forearm) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Day has been on the shelf all season with a forearm injury, but he's ready to make his 2019 big-league debut after completing a four-game rehab assignment with no issues, striking out six batters while allowing just two hits across four innings in the process. Seeing as he's been sidelined all year, the Braves will likely deploy him in middle-to-low-leverage situations down the stretch. Alex Jackson (knee) was placed on the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

O'Day (forearm) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Day is nearly ready to return from a forearm injury which has affected him since early March. He's made two rehab appearances at lower levels thus far, striking out three and allowing one hit in a pair of scoreless innings. His exact return timeline is not yet clear.

O'Day (forearm) will shift his rehab assignment Tuesday from the Braves' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate to High-A Florida.
EDGE Analysis
O'Day made one appearance in the GCL over the weekend, striking out two over a scoreless frame. The soft-tossing righty has been on the shelf all season due to the forearm issue, so the Braves will need to reinstate him from the 60-day IL before Sept. 1 in order for him to be eligible for the postseason. Assuming all goes well, Atlanta is expected to bump O'Day up to Triple-A Gwinnett after one appearance for the Fire Frogs, per David O'Brien of The Athletic.

O'Day (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment in the Gulf Coast League on Saturday and could make it back before the end of the MLB season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He has been out all season with a forearm injury after undergoing hamstring surgery in 2018, but is finally ready to begin a rehab assignment. The fact he is starting out in the GCL illustrates how much work he still has to do before he's ready to join the big-league bullpen. If he does make it back this year he would likely pitch in low-leverage spots.

O'Day (forearm) has progressed to playing long toss but has yet to throw off a mound, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves haven't yet ruled O'Day out for the remainder of the season, though he's not expected to be back until either late August or September. The right-hander has been on the shelf since the start of the 2019 campaign due to a right forearm injury.
