BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: August
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Braves starting pitching prospect Hurston Waldrep was recently reinstated from the 15-day injured list and was optioned to Triple-A. However, it may only be a matter of time before the right-hander returns to the big leagues.
Waldrep made his first two starts at the big league level earlier in June and struggled with a 16.71 ERA, 2.43 WHIP, and an 8:3 BB:K ratio. Shortly after his second outing, he was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. It was quite surprising to see the top pitching prospect get the call to the majors after making just one start at Triple-A this summer.

At Double-A this season, Waldrep posted a strong 2.92 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 17:48 BB:K ratio across 49 innings. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the former first-round selection as he may only need a handful of starts at Triple-A in August to get prepared to face major league bats again.
Atlanta has had several injuries in their rotation this season so the door will always be open for the Florida product when he is ready. Deeper league redraft managers should pay close attention to his first handful of starts at Triple-A as he could enter must-stash territory.
