Tucker Davidson will start Thursday’s matinee against the Washington Nationals, the Braves announced following Wednesday night’s game.
Ian Anderson was originally scheduled to pitch, but the club opted to give him an extra day of rest and have him pitch against the Dodgers on Friday night.
Davidson impressed in his lone start of 2021 as he worked six innings of three-run ball against the Mets in mid-May. He has been lights out with the Gwinnett Stripers, posting a 0.90 ERA across three starts with strong strikeout and walk numbers. Talking Chop’s prospect team is high on Davidson, ranking him as the No.
