Kerr will start Game 2 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Sunday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander served as the opener in Game 3 of the wild-card series versus the Phillies, and he pitched well with just one hit and one walk allowed across 3.1 scoreless frames. Kerr ended up working longer than the expected bulk reliever Grant Holmes, and Atlanta could have a similar game plan Sunday.

Kerr will be Atlanta's opener Thursday in Game 3 of the wild-card series versus the Phillies.
The left-handed Kerr will be tasked with facing lefties Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper at least once. He threw 6.1 scoreless frames covering two appearances in September against Philadelphia. Grant Holmes is slated to absorb the lion's share of the workload for Atlanta in Game 3 as a bulk reliever.

Kerr will be Atlanta's opener in Friday's game versus the Marlins, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Kerr has topped out at 3.1 innings in his eight appearances for Atlanta this season, but he hasn't thrown more than 35 pitches in any outing so it will be an abbreviated start. Grant Holmes is an option for bulk relief Friday, though Atlanta could also opt for a straight bullpen game. Kerr has yielded just three runs with an 11:1 K:BB over 15.1 innings this season.

Atlanta selected Kerr's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
In a corresponding move, Danny Young was designated for assignment. Kerr last appeared in the majors with Atlanta in 2024, submitting a 5.64 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 22.1 innings before undergoing Tommy John surgery that June.

Kerr (elbow) allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out four batters over three innings in two appearances for Double-A Columbus since being assigned to the affiliate Wednesday after being reinstated from Triple-A Gwinnett's 60-day injured list.
Kerr missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent the previous summer, then opened the season on Gwinnett's injured list after experiencing a setback following his lone relief appearance in the Grapefruit League. The 31-year-old southpaw was cleared to begin a rehab assignment June 14 and made four appearances in the lower levels of the minors before being activated from the IL. After the pair of outings at Double-A, Kerr was promoted to Triple-A on Tuesday.

Triple-A Gwinnett placed Kerr (elbow) on its 60-day injured list March 18.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery in the summer of 2024, Kerr appeared to be back to full strength for spring training, as he made a one-inning Grapefruit League appearance Feb. 24. He didn't pitch in any games after that, however, with Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com relaying that Kerr will require additional rehab from elbow surgery before returning to action at Gwinnett.
