Right-handed pitcher Josh Tomlin agreed to a $1 million deal on Wednesday to return to the Atlanta Braves for a third season. The deal includes a 2022 team option worth $1.25 million. The 36-year-old went 2-2 with a 4.76 ERA in 17 games for the Braves in 2020. Tomlin was much better as a reliever (2.95 ERA in 12 outings) than he was as a starter (6.33 ERA in five starts). The veteran swing man has a 4.69 career ERA, and his 1.31 walks per nine innings ranks best among all active pitchers with at...

Atlanta Braves starter Josh Tomlin allowed five runs on seven hits across four innings of work during Friday's 8-7 loss to the Washington Nationals. He struck out two batters while walking one. It was just a dismal outing from the 35-year-old as he gave up three runs in the first inning before recording an out. Tomlin now owns a 4.68 ERA through 32 2/3 innings in 2020. He is nothing more than a mid-tier streaming option when he takes the mound.

Atlanta Braves starter Josh Tomlin allowed four runs on six hits across three innings of work during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. He struck out five batters without issuing a walk but also gave up three home runs. It was an uninspiring outing from the 35-year-old, who now owns a 3.93 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 18 1/3 innings this season. He is nothing more than a mid-tier streaming option ahead of his next projected start, which will be a rematch with the Phillies.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Josh Tomlin allowed two runs on six hits across four innings of work during Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. He struck out two batters and walked one in the no-decision. Tomlin has performed well across nine appearances this season, posting a 2.35 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 15 1/3 innings. Due to the lack of depth in the Braves' rotation, it seems likely that Tomlin will continue to get looks as a starter. He has modest fantasy value in deeper leagues when ...

The Atlanta Braves purchased the contracts of right-handed pitcher Josh Tomlin and first baseman Yonder Alonso to the major league roster on Saturday. Tomlin, 35, could be an option to begin the year as an opener or as a piggyback option in Atlanta's rotation with Cole Hamels unlikely to be ready. That likely won't translate to much fantasy value at all, however, unless Tomlin vultures some wins. The veteran swingman had a 3.74 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and just a 5.8 K/9 in 79 1/3 innings for the ...

Welcome to our Surprising Starts series, where every week we look at lower-owned starting pitchers who have performed unexpectedly well in their last outing(s).Major league batters are striking out at an astounding 23% clip so far this season, which has resulted in plenty of unheralded hurlers racking up massive strikeout totals. We're looking at three high upside arms this week in Max Fried of Atlanta, Freddy Peralta of Milwaukee, and Matthew Boyd of Detroit. [...]

Facing a litany of injuries to their pitching staff, the Atlanta Braves have named veteran right-hander Josh Tomlin to the 25-man roster for Opening Day. The 34-year-old, who began the spring with the Brewers before being released, will likely serve as the long reliever out of the bullpen. A casualty of Tomlin's promotion is Adam Duvall, the former All-Star of the Cincinnati Reds. Tomlin spent the first nine years of his professional career with the Cleveland Indians, where he served as reliever[...]

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent starting pitcher Josh Tomlin to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training on Thursday, according to a source. The veteran right-hander will receive a $1.25 million base salary if he's in the majors and can reach $2.25 million with incentives based on innings pitched. He can max out at $3.5 million with 150 innings. The 34-year-old saw 19 outings (only nine starts) and posted an ugly 6.14 ERA, 1.48 [...]
