Winans is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Nationals at Truist Park.
Max Fried (finger) and Charlie Morton (finger) are closing the regular season on the injured list, so Atlanta will at least temporarily have room in the rotation for Winans. In his return to the big leagues last weekend for a doubleheader in Washington, Winans took a loss in the opener of the twin bill while striking out six and giving up two earned runs over five innings. Through five starts with the big club this season, Winans owns a 1-2 record to go with a 4.33 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.

Braves' Allan Winans: Escapes with no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Winans came away with a no-decision Friday as Atlanta was downed 10-6 by the Nationals, surrendering six runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.
The Nats clubbed five homers in total on the night, but Winans was responsible for the bulk of the barrage, serving up long balls to Carter Kieboom and Jake Alu in the fourth inning and Keibert Ruiz in the sixth. The 28-year-old right-hander had given up zero homers and only four runs in 11.1 innings over his prior two September starts, but Friday's poor effort might have been enough to get Atlanta to reconsider a potential role for Winans in the postseason rotation, even if Max Fried (finger) and Charlie Morton (finger) remain sidelined.

Braves' Allan Winans: Recalled to start Game 1
Rotowire
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett and will start Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
The right-hander was sent to Gwinnett on Sept. 11 after making a spot start for Atlanta, and he'll rejoin the big-league rotation Sunday with Charlie Morton (finger) landing on the injured list. Winans has a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB across 22 big-league innings this season.

Braves' Allan Winans: Solid in loss
Rotowire
Winans (1-2) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings, taking the loss in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Nationals.
Winans did fine in this outing, but Atlanta's offense didn't supply enough run support. He's kept opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his five major-league starts this season. The right-hander is at a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 32:6 K:BB through 27 innings. With Charlie Morton (finger) on the injured list, Winans may be able to pick up one more start in the regular season, which would be tentatively set as a rematch at home against the Nationals.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned after spot start
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Winans was excellent in a spot start for Atlanta in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Pirates, fanning eight batters while yielding just two runs over 6.1 innings in a no-decision. He could have set himself up for another spot start with the big club down the stretch, but for now, Atlanta will send him down to the minors to make room for a fresh bullpen arm.

Braves' Allan Winans: Recalled for Sunday's start
Rotowire
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his start Sunday against the Pirates.
The rookie right-hander made his last start in the majors Aug. 21 versus the Mets and was tagged for seven earned runs over 4.1 frames, but he'll receive another opportunity Sunday. Winans has made two other starts for Atlanta this season and fared much better in those outings with a 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings.

Braves' Allan Winans: Making start Sunday
Rotowire
Winans will start for Atlanta on Sunday versus the Pirates, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Winans has shown flashes in three starts with Atlanta this season, posting a 5.17 ERA but also an 18:4 K:BB over 15.2 innings. With Kyle Wright (shoulder) in line to return next week, it will likely be a spot start for Winans before he heads back to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned after rough start
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
The transaction comes one day after Winans was roughed up for seven runs on nine hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a spot start against the Mets. He had been a candidate to pick up another start over the weekend if things went well Monday, but Atlanta now needs his roster spot for bullpen reinforcement.

Braves' Allan Winans: Recalled for Monday's start
Rotowire
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Winans will pitch Monday's series opener versus the Mets and could be in store for a two-start week while he enters the rotation as a replacement for Yonny Chirinos (elbow), who landed on the injured list. The 28-year-old rookie has been excellent in two starts for Atlanta this season, holding a 1.59 ERA and 14:3 K:BB over 11.1 innings. He's worth a look in deeper leagues.
Winans will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Monday against the Giants, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Winans was sent down after he delivered seven scoreless innings against the Mets on Aug. 12, so Atlanta will need to put a player on the injured list in order for him to rejoin the big club so quickly. The 28-year-old has 14 strikeouts across 11.1 frames in his first taste of the big leagues this season.

Braves' Allan Winans: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Winans to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
After striking out nine over seven scoreless innings in a spot start during Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Mets, Winans will head back to the minors for the time being. With Yonny Chirinos struggling as the No. 5 arm in the Atlanta rotation, Winans could easily get another shot with the big club soon. Because he was brought up as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader, Winans doesn't have to spend 15 days in the minors before being recalled.

Braves' Allan Winans: Dazzles in first MLB win
Rotowire
Winans (1-0) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, allowing four hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine.
Making his second career start in the majors, Winans showed some nerves in the first inning by loading the bases on two walks and a hit-by-pitch, but he escaped the jam and went on to dominate the team that let him go in the minor-league portion of the Rule 5 draft after the 2021 season. Getting massive run support -- Atlanta wound up winning the contest 21-3 -- couldn't have hurt his confidence, either. The right-hander fired 80 of his 111 pitches for strikes, generating an incredible 39 called or swinging strikes along the way despite a fastball that topped out at 90.9 mph. With Yonny Chirinos struggling as the No. 5 starter, Atlanta could have a tough decision to make the next time that spot in the rotation comes around, which figures to be next weekend at home against the Giants.

Braves' Allan Winans: Called up for spot start
Rotowire
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Winans was appointed as the 27th man for the twin bill, which likely means he'll return to the minors immediately after his start. The 27-year-old righty made his big-league debut in late July, allowing two runs on five hits in 4.1 innings against the Brewers.

Winans will start for Atlanta in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Michael Soroka was also an option for Atlanta, but the club will go with Winans against his former organization. The 28-year-old allowed two runs over 4.1 innings versus the Brewers last month in his major-league debut.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned after solid debut
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following his start Saturday against the Brewers, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Winans pitched quite well in his MLB debut Saturday at Milwaukee, scattering two earned runs on five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out five. Atlanta has two scheduled days off next week, though, and can roll with a smaller rotation mix until Max Fried (forearm) returns around the beginning of August. It's unclear when Winans might get another shot in the big leagues.

Braves' Allan Winans: Contract selected for MLB debut
Rotowire
Winans' contract was selected by Atlanta on Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against Milwaukee.
The 27-year-old righty will be making his big-league debut after recording a 2.81 ERA in 18 appearances (13 starts) for Triple-A Gwinnett this season. Since becoming a starter ahead of last season, he's produced above-average groundball rates and avoided walks, but his 22.8 percent strikeout rate is nothing special. He may only be up for one start before returning to the minors once Max Fried (forearm) is ready to rejoin the rotation.

Braves' Allan Winans: Making debut Saturday
Rotowire
Winans will be called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday to start against the Brewers, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Winans has been rather impressive this season in Triple-A, putting up a 2.81 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 102.2 innings across 18 appearances (13 starts). With Max Fried (forearm) slated to return within a week or so, it's unlikely Winans makes many more starts with Atlanta past Saturday. However, he will be facing a Brewers offense that ranks last in the NL with a .687 OPS.
