Erlin was used in long relief in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins, covering three innings and giving up two runs on five hits while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
Heading into the week, Erlin was in line to start Tuesday versus Miami, but manager Brian Snitker wasn't willing to commit to the left-hander getting another turn through the rotation. Erlin's usage out of the bullpen confirms that the Braves will break in a new starter Tuesday, with Mark Bowman of MLB.com speculating that Kyle Wright could be called up from Atlanta's alternate site to join the rotation.

Erlin allowed five earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three across four innings Wednesday against the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Erlin allowed the first four batters he faced to reach base to begin the game, and he surrendered three of his four runs in the opening frame. He did improve from there, with the only major damage a solo home run by Jackie Bradley across his next three innings of work. Erlin now has a 6.95 ERA across 22 innings this season, and is allowing an ugly 2.9 HR/9. He's currently penciled in to draw his next start Monday against Miami.

Erlin allowed four runs on four hits -- including two home runs -- and two walks while striking out three across four innings Friday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Erlin was hurt by the long ball as he served up a two-run shot to Andrew McCutchen in the third inning and another to Jean Segura in the fourth. The lefty's ERA has now risen to 6.00 across 18 innings although he does hold a decent 20:5 K:BB. Erlin is next scheduled to take the mound Wednesday in a road matchup against the Red Sox.

Erlin didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Phillies, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Bryce Harper took him deep in the first inning for a two-run shot, but Erlin was able to settle down after that, throwing 67 pitches (39 strikes) before leaving the mound. The southpaw has given a beleaguered Atlanta rotation a couple of decent outings, but if the team adds any reinforcements he would likely be the first arm bumped back to the bullpen. If he gets another turn, Erlin's next start will come Friday in a road rematch with the Phillies.

Erlin is scheduled to start Saturday against the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Erlin earned himself another turn through the rotation after tossing four scoreless innings -- allowing just one hit while striking out five batters -- his last time out. As a result of the southpaw getting another start, Touki Toussaint will move back to start Sunday's series finale on an extra day of rest.

Erlin tossed four scoreless innings in Sunday's win against the Marlins but didn't factor into the decision. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
After a shaky first outing with Atlanta, Erlin turned things around Sunday as the Braves' pitching staff held the Marlins to just two hits. However, the southpaw didn't receive any run support early in the game, so he had to settle for a no-decision. Since the Braves are off over three of the next 11 days, it's unclear when Erlin will make his next start.

Erlin will start Sunday in the series finale against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Erlin's debut for the Braves didn't go as planned as the southpaw gave up four runs in 2.2 innings out of the bullpen Monday against the Phillies. The Marlins offense may look like an easier matchup than the Phillies on paper, but Miami is starting to return some of its key players from the COVID-19 injured list and could present Erlin with another long outing Sunday afternoon.

Erlin pitched 2.2 innings of relief in Monday's loss to the Phillies, giving up four runs on four hits, including three home runs. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The whiffs were nice, but otherwise this was an awful debut in an Atlanta uniform for Erlin, who was claimed off waivers from the Pirates over the weekend. The 29-year-old southpaw could stick around in a low-leverage long-relief capacity given the tattered state of the team's rotation, but after throwing 43 pitches (30 strikes) Monday, he could also be shuffled off the active roster fairly quickly for a fresh arm.

The Braves activated Erlin ahead of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After being claimed off waivers from the Pirates on Friday, Erlin will be able to make his Braves debut in the twin bill. Erlin previously made two appearances out of the Pittsburgh bullpen, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over 3.1 innings while striking out four.
