Enyel De Los Santos has been tremendous for the Braves bullpen in the early going with a 1.42 ERA and 0.3 fWAR. If he keeps this up, he could find himself in more high-leverage situations.

Fun with early-season stats:
Three days ago, Jarred Kelenic was in the 1st percentile on walk rate because he did not have any walks.
Now? He’s in the 80th percentile.

Jesse Chavez was DFA’d for RHP Zach Thompson but will likely be back at some point. After Suárez throwing 40+ pitches on Sunday night and Jesse doing the same on Monday, the team needs someone to eat innings over the next couple of days if it comes to that.
