Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Winans is an option to join the rotation after Carlos Carrasco was designated for assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Boone also mentioned Ryan Yarbrough as a possibility to make starts for the club. Marcus Stroman (knee) has resumed throwing off a mound and could rejoin the rotation later this month, but the Yankees will need someone else to fill the spot for at least a couple turns. Winans has yet to give up an earned run in 14 innings this season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, collecting a 24:5 K:BB along the way.

Yankees' Allan Winans: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Winans to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Winans was selected from Triple-A on Saturday to replace the injured Marcus Stroman (knee), and the former will now head back to the minors to clear a roster spot for Clarke Schmidt (shoulder), who is set to be activated for his season debut Wednesday. Winans didn't appear in a game during his time in the Bronx, but he will keep his spot on the 40-man roster as he moves back to Triple-A.

Yankees' Allan Winans: Selected from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Yankees selected Winans' contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
With the Yankees placing Marcus Stroman (knee) on the injured list, Winans will come up from the minors to fill the open roster spot. However, he is considered unlikely to step into the rotation with Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) due back next week. The 29-year-old Winans owns a 7.20 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across eight starts in his big-league career, but he logged 2.2 shutout frames during his first outing of the season in Triple-A.
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.

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.
