Waldrep allowed one run on six hits over eight innings for Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday, striking out eight without walking a batter. The 22-year-old right-hander had a bumpy beginning to his season, coughing up 10 runs in seven innings over his first two starts, but since then Waldrep has been on fire. Over his last five outings, the 2023 first-round pick has produced a 1.16 ERA and 26:9 K:BB through 31 innings while giving up zero homers. Atlanta would like to see more strikeouts out of Waldrep, but he's put himself back on track to potentially compete for a big-league rotation spot in 2025, and an MLB debut later this summer isn't out of the question....

Braves' Hurston Waldrep: Beginning season at Double-A
Waldrep will begin the season at Double-A Mississippi, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The 22-year-old right-hander ended last season by making one start for Triple-A Gwinnett, but he'd made only three starts for Mississippi prior to that, so this isn't a demotion. It does mark Waldrep as firmly behind AJ Smith-Shawver and Bryce Elder in the pecking order for a potential call-up to the majors, however. Waldrep zoomed through four levels last year after being selected with the 24th overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, posting a 1.53 ERA and 41:16 K:BB over 29.1 innings, but he didn't work five or more innings in any of his outings. He'll focus on improving his stamina and command at Double-A, and a midseason bump to Triple-A seems likely.... See More ... See Less -
Braves' Hurston Waldrep: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Waldrep was reassigned to minor-league camp by Atlanta on Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Waldrep had an impressive spring debut March 3, when he pitched two scoreless innings with two strikeouts and two walks. The 24th overall pick in the 2023 Draft could make his major-league debut this season if he pitches well in the minors.... See More ... See Less -
Braves' Hurston Waldrep: Solid spring debut
Waldrep walked two and struck out two without giving up a hit over two scoreless innings during Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. One of Atlanta's top pitching prospects had a good showing in his spring debut, entering the game in the fifth inning and promptly fanning Danny Jansen. Waldrep wound up tossing 19 of 34 pitches for strikes, and improving his control will be a point of emphasis for the 22-year-old right-hander this season after he posted a 41:16 K:BB in 29.1 innings across four levels last season in his pro debut. While he almost certainly won't break camp on the Opening Day roster, Waldrep appears poised to see action with Atlanta at some point this summer after being the 24th overall pick in the 2023 Draft....

David O'Brien@DOBrienATL20M ago“During a 162-game year, these lulls happen,” d’Arnaud said of the #Braves' hitting woes. “Last year, unfortunately it happened in September and October. Better it’s happening in May, so we can keep going forward with over two-thirds of the season left.” https://t.co/grK4uuQHeb

David O'Brien@DOBrienATL2H agoA.J. Minter’s hip has been bothering him a while and the #Braves didn’t think it was something that would heal with just 2-3 days of not pitching him. So they IL’d him. Hope is he’ll be ready after 15 days but they won’t know that for some time.

David O'Brien@DOBrienATL2H ago#Braves’ Snitker was asked if they’ve decided whether Schwellenbach will stay to make another start, and answered, “He’s still here.” Barring something unexpected or sudden need to use him in relief, sure seems like Schwellenbach will stay with team for at least a second start.
