Necomb's next start has been pushed back to Sunday against the Dodgers, David O'Brien of The Athletic Atlanta reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was originally scheduled to pitch Saturday, but Max Fried (finger) will rejoin the rotation on that date, giving Newcomb and extra day's rest. Since the start of June, Newcomb owns a 4.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 38 strikeouts in 48.1 innings.

Newcomb will start Monday against the Marlins after his start Saturday against the Nationals was postponed due to inclement weather.
EDGE Analysis
Mike Foltynewicz will keep his scheduled Sunday start, with Newcomb slotting in behind him in Miami. It's a positive development for Newcomb's fantasy owners, as he'll end up facing one of the weakest offenses in the league. Further changes are still possible, however, as weather could threaten Sunday's game as well.

Newcomb's scheduled start against the Nationals on Saturday was postponed due to inclement weather.
EDGE Analysis
At this time, there has been no makeup date set for Saturday's rain out. Look another update in the next few hours regarding the plans for Atlanta's rotation, as manager Brian Snitker will have to decide between pushing Newcomb back a day or skipping him in the rotation.

Newcomb (8-4) allowed five earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three across 3.2 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Newcomb suffered a short outing for his second consecutive start, with his struggles finding the plate again being the main culprit for his poor effort. He found the plate on only 44 of his 82 pitches and began 13 of the 20 batters he faced with a ball. He will look to bounce back in a more friendly -- albeit still tough -- matchup against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Newcomb didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Reds, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander continues to give the Braves consistent innings -- he's reeled off three straight quality starts, and 11 in 16 outings on the season. Newcomb will carry a 2.71 ERA into his next start Tuesday on the road against the Yankees.

Newcomb (7-1) struck out four in six scoreless innings for a win against the Padres on Tuesday, allowing three hits and three walks.
EDGE Analysis
Newcomb hasn't lost a game since his first start of the year on April 2, and has now accumulated eight quality starts on the season. The young lefty has registered scoreless outings (going at least six innings) five times this year, resulting in an excellent 2.49 ERA. Newcomb's .201 batting average against is tied for fourth in the NL, while his seven wins are tied for second in the league. He will next face off against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Newcomb gave up three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over three innings Saturday in Boston. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The electric lefty just didn't have it in his first career start in Fenway Park, needing 88 pitches (48 strikes) to get through three frames. Prior to this outing, Newcomb's shortest start of the year was a 4.1-inning April 2 loss to the Nationals. He had given up just one run over 25 innings in his previous four starts, so this rough showing only upped his ERA to 2.75. His next start will likely come Thursday at home against the Nationals. The Braves have taken every opportunity to give him an extra day or two of rest in between outings when possible, but considering they have a doubleheader Monday against the Mets, that seems unlikely to happen this time around.

Newcomb's next start has been pushed to Saturday in Boston, 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
He would have lined up to start Friday, but the Braves are taking advantage of an off day Thursday to move Julio Teheran up for Friday's start, giving their young ace six days off between starts. Newcomb is still walking batters at a high clip (11.2 percent), but he has a 0.36 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 24 strikeouts over his last four starts (25 innings). The extra day off should only help him in this interleague road matchup. He logged 157.2 innings across Triple-A and the majors last year, so the Braves are doing everything in their power to help the electric southpaw hold up over a full big-league campaign.

Newcomb (5-1) picked up the win over the Marlins on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Although the left-hander's scoreless streak got snapped at 21 innings, Newcomb still recorded his fourth straight quality start and sixth in nine starts on the season. He'll take a sparkling 2.39 ERA into his next outing Friday in Boston.

Newcomb will start Saturday against the Marlins instead of Friday, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Newcomb will get an extra day of rest, as he has between most starts this season. It's a plan that's certainly worked so far this year for the young lefty, as he's recorded a 2.51 ERA through eight starts. Matt Wisler was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett and will take the mound Friday.
