Didier Fuentes to Start Against Yankees in Spring Training Bid

Didier Fuentes is set to start for the Braves against the Yankees today, continuing his bid for a back-end rotation spot. The 20-year-old prospect, ranked third in the Braves' system, has been impressive in spring work, allowing no hits or walks with four strikeouts across 2.0 innings. Known for a fastball averaging 97.4 mph, Fuentes made his MLB debut last year but was sidelined late in the season by right shoulder inflammation. Today's outing is a key test against major league talent.
