2024 Fantasy Outlook
As a righty whose changeup is his lone quality offering, it's difficult to project Vines to have consistent success as a big-league starter. He could be a useful spot starter in favorable matchups, given how good Atlanta is, but Vines' averaged 90 mph on his fastball last year, which is nearly unheard of for a successful righty starter in today's game. He has decent command, but it's not pinpoint command, which he would need to have to make this pitch mix work regularly against big-league hitters. Unless Vines sees a velocity spike, he's best used as a streamer in deep leagues when Atlanta's rotation is decimated by injuries. Read Past Outlooks

Nabs second start
Vines is slated to start Sunday's game against the Rangers at Truist Park, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Vines will wind up getting at least one more turn through the rotation while filling in for Spencer Strider (elbow), who underwent season-ending surgery last week. In his 2024 MLB debut Monday, Vines was dealt a no-decision in Atlanta's 6-1 win over Houston after striking out four over 4.2 innings while allowing one run on four hits and three walks. He was lifted after 80 pitches Monday, but he could have that workload restriction loosened a bit if he's more efficient this weekend in a matchup with the reigning World Series champions. Even though Strider is out of the picture for 2024, Atlanta has plenty of appealing young arms in the upper levels of the minors, so Vines will need to continue to pitch well in his subsequent starts to ensure he sticks in the rotation on a more permanent basis.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Vines is one of the most underrated pitching prospects in the minors. The 6-foot-1 righty threw a career-high 140.2 innings last season across Double-A and Triple-A, logging a 1.23 WHIP, 26.5 K% and 7.5 BB%. Vines works with a low-90s fastball, one of the best changeups in the minors, and a third-pitch slider. He doesn't have much margin for error with the fastball, but his changeup generates extreme chase rates and allows the fastball to play up. Atlanta has plenty of rotation depth, with guys like Bryce Elder and Ian Anderson on the outside looking in, but Vines could be ready to enter the fray sometime this summer.
