Randall Delgado allowed three runs on four hits and three walks in five innings on Sunday, taking a no-decision in Atlanta's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

He struck out four in his third career start. It's unclear if the Braves intend to give Delgado another start, but if they do it will likely come on Friday against the Cardinals.

The Braves are expected to recall RHP Randall Delgado from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday to start against the Dodgers.

He'll be pitching in place of an ailing Jair Jurrjens (knee). More than likely, he'll then remain with the club through the end of the year. One of the top right-handed pitching prospects in all of baseball, Delgado has posted a 3.88 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 135/57 K/BB ratio in 139 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season. He's allowed five runs (four earned) in 10 innings over two major-league spot starts.

Braves optioned RHP Randall Delgado to Triple-A Gwinnett.

He was sent down to make room for Jair Jurrjens, who will be activated from the disabled list Wednesday. Delgado tossed six no-hit innings against the Giants on Tuesday night before being pulled after giving up a solo homer to Cody Ross to begin the seventh. The promising young right-hander should rejoin the Braves when rosters expand in September, if not sooner.

Recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Gwinnett, Randall Delgado tossed six no-hit innings against the Giants on Tuesday before getting yanked after allowing a Cody Ross homer to lead off the seventh.

Eric O'Flaherty relieved Delgado immediately. The talented 21-year-old was allowed to throw just 74 pitches, but he put on quite a show, allowing one hit and a walk while striking out four. He got stuck with a no-decision in the extra-innings Atlanta win. This was just a spot start for Delgado, as Jair Jurrjens will come off the DL on Wednesday, but he'll most certainly be back very soon.

Delgado made his major league debut with the Braves earlier this year, allowing four runs -- three earned -- in a four-inning start against a dangerous Rangers lineup. The talented 21-year-old should fare a little better Tuesday night against the weak-hitting Giants, but he's a couple years from becoming a solid fantasy option.

The Braves will recall Randall Delgado from Triple-A Gwinnett to start in place of the injured Tommy Hanson on Tuesday against the Giants.

Delgado has thrown 13 scoreless inning since being promoted to Gwinnett and holds a 3.45 ERA and 8.6 K/9 rate between Double- and Triple-A this season. It will be just a spot start, as Jair Jurrjens will come off the DL on Wednesday.

The Braves have promoted pitching prospect Randall Delgado to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Delgado, 21, registered a 3.84 ERA and 110/46 K/BB ratio in 117-plus innings this season with Double-A Mississippi. He was ranked as the 35th most promising prospect in the game this past winter by Baseball America.

Delgado allowed four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits and two walks over just four innings in his major league debut Friday. The 21-year-old was no longer needed with Brandon Beachy ready for activation from the disabled list next week. Delgado will return to a 3.54 ERA and 64/26 K/BB ratio over 73 2/3 at Mississippi.

Making his major-league debut on Friday evening, Randall Delgado allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks in just four innings of Atlanta's loss to the Rangers.

Delgado's "welcome to the big leagues" moment came in the fifth, where defending American League MVP Josh Hamilton tagged him for a two-run homer to deep center. If he gets another start, it should come next Wednesday against the Blue Jays at home.

He'll replace the injured Tommy Hanson in the starting rotation. Another promising young arm in the Braves' pipeline, the 21-year-old Delgado had a 3.54 ERA and 64/26 K/BB ratio over his first 13 stars at the Double-A level this season. He has a promising future, but we'd leave him in reserve against Texas.

Delgado allowed one run and struck out three over three innings of work this spring. The 21-year-old right-hander posted a 3.30 ERA over 28 starts between High-A Myrtle Beach and Double-A Mississippi last season, averaging 9.1 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9. He was recently ranked as the game's No. 35 prospect by Baseball America.

Randall Delgado pitched a perfect inning, striking out two, Monday against the Marlins.

The Braves aren't going to carry the 21-year-old Delgado as a reliever out of spring training, but they might be tempted to break him into the majors in that role during the second half of the season. One of the team's top prospects, he had a 162/52 K/BB ratio in 161 innings between high-A and Double-A last season.
