Hurston Waldrep Could be Recalled to Start This Weekend
Hurston Waldrep could be called upon again to fill a much-needed rotation spot in the upcoming week. The Braves have a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday at home against Miami, with Erick Fedde currently slated to pitch the first game, but no starter has been announced for the second game. Waldrep had been recalled to pitch in Sunday's continuation of the Speedway Classic, giving the team 5 2/3 innings of solid work, allowing just one run on three hits and two walks while striking out four on the way to earning the win. The Braves' fourth-ranked prospect has been called upon in the big leagues before, making two starts in 2024, although without success. The 23-year-old has a first-round pedigree, though, and has pitched better at Triple-A as of late, posting a 0.78 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and striking out 23 batters in 23 innings over his last four starts, so he has momentum on his side. Miami has been playing better lately, but Waldrep could be a sneaky waiver add or DFS option if the recall comes to fruition.
