Hurston Waldrep - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Reinstated, optioned to Triple-A Waldrep (elbow) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Waldrep has been out since mid-June while nursing right elbow inflammation, but he'll now officially make his return from the IL. The right-hander made two rehab assignment appearances, allowing five runs over four frames while striking out six batters. Waldrep has made two starts in the big leagues in 2024, giving up 13 runs over seven innings, so he'll look to find a groove with Gwinnett in order to potentially get another shot with Atlanta down the road.

Reinstated, optioned to Triple-A Atlanta activated Waldrep (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Waldrep had been on the shelf since mid-June while nursing right elbow inflammation, but Atlanta came away convinced in his health after the right-hander tossed a pair of two-inning rehab starts between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Augusta last week. Before being deactivated, the right-hander made two starts with Atlanta, giving up 13 runs over seven innings. He had previously made only one start with Gwinnett before being called up for his MLB debut, so Atlanta will likely have Waldrep settle in for a bit in the Triple-A rotation and find some success before considering him for a return to the majors.

Ready for rehab assignment Atlanta sent Waldrep (elbow) to its Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Impact Waldrep is ready to ramp things back up in game action after missing more than a month with right elbow inflammation. The young right-hander will eventually move up to Triple-A Gwinnett and seems likely to remain there for a while rather than rejoin Atlanta. Waldrep has surrendered 13 runs with a 3:8 K:BB over seven innings in his first two big-league starts.

Placed on IL with elbow injury Atlanta placed Waldrep on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation.

It's not clear how long Waldrep might be out, but he's sure to be optioned to Gwinnett once deemed healthy. Waldrep has allowed 13 runs with a 3:8 K:BB over seven innings in two starts with the big club.

Demoted after another poor start Atlanta optioned Waldrep to Triple-A Gwinnett following Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Rays, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact After he yielded seven earned runs and walked four batters in just 3.2 innings in his MLB debut last Sunday in Washington, Waldrep was given another chance to prove he belonged in Atlanta's rotation. Unfortunately for the 22-year-old righty, he was sent back to the minors after displaying shaky command and control for a second straight outing. He was once again pulled midway through the fourth inning Sunday, needing 71 pitches (42 strikes) to record 10 outs while striking out two and allowing six earned runs on five hits -- including two home runs -- and four walks. The long-term outlook remains bright for Waldrep, but he'll need further seasoning in the upper levels of the minors before he gets another look in the Atlanta rotation.

Reasigned to minor-league camp Waldrep was reassigned to minor-league camp by Atlanta on Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Waldrep had an impressive spring debut March 3 when he pitched two scoreless innings with two strikeouts and two walks. The 24th overall pick of the 2023 draft could see some time in the majors this season if he's able to show out in the minors.
