Braves' Huascar Ynoa: Shifts rehab assignment to Triple-A

Ynoa (elbow) struck out two batters and gave up one hit and one walk over three scoreless innings Sunday in his rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Atlanta moved Ynoa's rehab assignment to its top affiliate after the right-hander made two- and 1.1-inning starts in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on July 16 and 22, respectively. Ynoa will likely need another start or two before he gets fully stretched out. With Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) leaving Sunday's start early and Max Fried (forearm) still lacking a firm return date, Ynoa could be needed in the big-league rotation.
