Winans cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
Winans was let go by the Yankees on Wednesday, but he will remain with the organization after clearing waivers. He was claimed off waivers by the Yankees in late January after spending the last two seasons in Atlanta. Winans spent most of the 2024 regular season with Triple-A Gwinnett and posted a 7-5 record across 24 outings (16 starts) with a 3.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 100:37 K:BB over 114.2 innings.

Braves' Allan Winans: Back to Triple-A after poor start
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Winans to Triple-A Gwinnett following its 9-4 loss to Cincinnati in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday.
Called up from Gwinnett earlier in the day to make his second start of the season with Atlanta in the opening game of the twin bill, Winans dropped to 0-2 after giving up seven earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings. Though Atlanta has a spot open in its rotation with Max Fried (forearm) on the injured list, Winans took himself out of consideration for another start after his rough showing Wednesday. Atlanta called up lefty Zach Logue from Gwinnett in a corresponding move to provide some length out of the bullpen for the second game of the doubleheader.

Braves' Allan Winans: Called up, starting matinee
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Winans from Triple-A Gwinnett. He'll start the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds at Truist Park.
Left-hander Dylan Dodd was sent out to Triple-A Gwinnett to open up room on the roster for Winans, who is back with Atlanta for the first time since April 11, when he gave up seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a spot start versus the Mets. Winans could have the opportunity to stick around with Atlanta on a more permanent basis this time around, as the club has an opening in the rotation while Max Fried (forearm) is on the shelf. The right-hander will first need to acquit himself well in Wednesday's start before putting himself in consideration for additional turns through the rotation.

Braves' Allan Winans: Taking hill for Game 1 of twin bill
Rotowire
Atlanta will call up Winans for Triple-A Gwinnett to start the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Winans' lone appearance with Atlanta this season came back on April 11, when he surrendered seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks over five innings in a loss to the Mets. He could be needed for additional starts while Max Fried (forearm) is sidelined, but how he fares Wednesday will factor into Atlanta's plans for Winans moving forward.

Braves' Allan Winans: Confirmed for start Wednesday
Rotowire
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker confirmed Tuesday that Winans will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Wednesday versus the Reds, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Winans is taking the rotation spot vacated by the injured Max Fried (forearm). Winans was rocked for seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a spot start with Atlanta earlier this season, but he boasts a 2.74 ERA and 75:22 K:BB across 82 frames in 2024 at Gwinnett. Winans might be needed for additional starts but will need to pitch well to continue seeing opportunities.

Braves' Allan Winans: Expected to draw start Wednesday
Rotowire
Winans is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Wednesday against the Reds, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Atlanta has an opening in its rotation with Max Fried (forearm) out and Winans was spotted at Truist Park on Tuesday, so it's not difficult to connect the dots. The right-hander was torched for seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a spot start with the big club earlier this season, but he's pitched well in 2024 with Gwinnett, holding a 2.74 ERA and 75:22 K:BB across 82 frames. Winans could earn additional starts with Atlanta if he pitches well.
Winans (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out one.
The Mets got to Winans quickly Thursday, scoring three runs in the first two innings before putting up a four spot in the third. Winans would ultimately tough out five innings, though Atlanta couldn't climb out of the early 7-0 hole, leaving the 28-year-old right-hander with the loss. Winans made six starts for Atlanta as a rookie in 2023, going 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 34:8 K:BB. While he may have a chance to stick in the rotation with Spencer Strider (elbow) presumably out long-term, Atlanta could turn to top prospects AJ Smith-Shawver or Hurston Waldrep if Winans continues to struggle.

Braves' Allan Winans: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Winans was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Thursday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The move comes immediately after Winans was torched for seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a loss to the Mets. Atlanta will need a starter again next week to fill the spot vacated by Spencer Strider (elbow). Bryce Elder, AJ Smith-Shawver, Darius Vines, Dylan Dodd and Hurston Waldrep are candidates to step in.
Braves' Allan Winans: New York-Atlanta postponed Wednesday
Rotowire
Winans and Atlanta won't play the Mets on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to a forecast of inclement weather in the Atlanta area.
The two teams will make up the postponed game Sept. 26. Winans had been scheduled to start Wednesday in the rotation spot that previously belonged to Spencer Strider (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend. Winans' start will be moved to Thursday's series finale, pushing each of the team's other four starters back a day.

Braves' Allan Winans: Draws start Wednesday
Rotowire
Winans is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Mets in Atlanta, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday in a corresponding move for ace Spencer Strider's (elbow) placement on the 15-day injured list, but the expectation was that Winans would be available as a long-relief option for a few days. After going unused Sunday through Tuesday, however, Winans will ultimately take Strider's spot in the rotation, at least for now. Though 2023 All-Star Bryce Elder -- who is currently with Gwinnett -- seems to be a more likely candidate to serve as a longer-term replacement during Strider's stay on the IL, Winans will get the first chance to prove he belongs in the big-league rotation. The 28-year-old previously made six starts for Atlanta as a rookie in 2023, logging a 5.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 34:8 K:BB over 32.1 innings.
Atlanta recalled Winans from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Though he had been a member of Gwinnett's season-opening rotation and will now move up to Atlanta as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for staff ace Spencer Strider (elbow), Winans is expected to provide the big club with a fresh arm in the bullpen who's capable of covering multiple innings. AJ Smith-Shawver, Dylan Dodd, Darius Vines and Huascar Ynoa are all already on the 40-man roster and could be candidates to enter the rotation when Atlanta next needs a fifth starter Wednesday versus the Mets, while Bryce Elder pitched four innings for Gwinnett on Saturday and likely won't be in consideration to replace Strider right away since he would be pitching on only three days' rest.

Braves' Allan Winans: Picks up another start
Rotowire
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.
