Newcomb will start one of the Braves' games against the Mets on Saturday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The pitching prospect was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, and there's now confirmation that it was done to prepare him for his major-league debut Saturday. No official word has come forth on whether Newcomb will pitch game 1 or 2 of the twinbill, although Mark Bowman of MLB.com also notes that game 1 makes the most sense if another starter (potentially Matt Wisler) is called up as the 26th man for the nightcap.
