Latest news
General manager Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday that Fuentes will enter spring training as a starting pitcher, but he could be transitioned back to a relief role if needed, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
Atlanta had a similar plan for the right-hander in 2026, and he ended up working out of the bullpen to stellar results. Fuentes made 58 appearances (one start) during his first full MLB campaign, recording three saves and 17 holds with a 2.45 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 92:21 K:BB across 73.1 innings. He was also a key contributor in the playoffs, allowing three runs on five hits with a 5:2 K:BB over seven innings.

Fuentes allowed one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Rockies. He struck out two.
Closer Raisel Iglesias was presumably unavailable after notching the save in Friday's win over Colorado, opening the door for Fuentes to tally his third save of the year (nine chances). Although Fuentes doesn't see consistent ninth-inning work, the 21-year-old right-hander has emerged as a weapon out of the Atlanta bullpen with a 2.39 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 77:19 K:BB and 15 holds in 60.1 innings.

Fuentes secured the save Wednesday against the Marlins, throwing 1.1 clean innings. He struck out two.
Closer Raisel Iglesias wasn't sharp in Tuesday's outing against Miami, giving up a pair of runs, which perhaps prompted Atlanta to turn a different direction for Wednesday's save situation. Although Fuentes has emerged as a real weapon out of the bullpen after scuffling to a 13.85 ERA last regular season, he doesn't appear to be a legitimate threat to Iglesias' closer role. Through 48.1 innings, Fuentes sports a 2.42 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:15 K:BB with 12 holds plus two saves in five chances.

Fuentes worked 1.1 perfect innings of relief Sunday to record his 10th hold of the season in a win over the Rangers. He didn't strike out a batter.
The rookie right-hander continues to thrive in a high-leverage relief role, although Atlanta still believes his long-term future will be in the rotation. Since the beginning of June. Fuentes has produced a 2.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB over 17 innings while picking up one save and seven holds in 18 appearances.

Fuentes earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Pirates, allowing two hits while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
With Raisel Iglesias having pitched back-to-back days, it was Fuentes who got the call in the ninth inning Sunday instead of Robert Suarez. It didn't come easy for the 20-year-old right-hander, as the Pirates got the tying and go-ahead runs aboard with one out. However, Fuentes managed to induce a popup off the bat of Jared Triolo before striking out Endy Rodriguez to close out the one-run victory and earn his first career save. While Atlanta still views Fuentes as a long-term starter, he's been stellar out of the bullpen recently, allowing just one run on eight hits while striking out 14 in his last 12 appearances (13.1 innings).

Fuentes (4-0) picked up the win Friday over the Reds, giving up one hit and striking out one in 1.1 scoreless innings of relief.
The 20-year-old right-hander took the mound in the fifth inning with Atlanta ahead 4-2 after Grant Holmes got the hook, and while Fuentes did allow an inherited runner to score, he did enough to be credited with the win. He's been tagged for an earned run in only one of his 11 appearances in May, posting a 0.71 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB in 12.2 innings on the month. His long-term future still lies in the rotation, but Fuentes is giving Atlanta valuable long-relief innings this season.
