Eric O'Flaherty

The Braves made the deal in an attempt to add depth to its bullpen, specifically left-handed depth. This ensures that O'Flaherty will be on the 25-man roster when camp breaks for the regular season.

Fantasy Impact

O'Flaherty has had success with the Braves before and the team is hoping he can regain the form he had prior to having Tommy John surgery in 2014. It is a gamble but the team is pretty desperate. Braves scouts like the way he has pitched this spring so we will see how effective he will be. He does have the potential to chew up significant innings if he can be productive.

Eric O'Flaherty threw a scoreless inning on Monday against the Padres. He allowed one hit, one walk, and struck out one batter.

Fantasy Impact

With the scoreless inning, he now has an 8.38 ERA, eight walks, and nine strikeouts in 11 innings of work this season.
