Hurston Waldrep - Ambushed in no-decision Waldrep took a no-decision Thursday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact Waldrep gave up all three of his runs in the opening frame, but he was at least able to settle in afterwards and push for a quality start. The 24-year-old right-hander threw 76 pitches in his second major-league outing of 2026, so he may not be fully built up to handle a traditional starter's workload quite yet. Waldrep is contending with Grant Holmes' for a rotation spot going forward, and Thursday's showing might have offered the club enough positive takeaways to hand Waldrep another chance to start next week in Pittsburgh.

Dylan Dodd - Snags second hold Dodd struck out one in a perfect sixth inning Wednesday to record his second hold of the season in a win over the Cardinals.

Impact The 28-year-old southpaw set down the top of St. Louis' order on 14 pitches (nine strikes), punctuating his performance with a strikeout of Alec Burleson. Dodd is adjusting well to a full-time relief role, albeit a low-leverage one, and through 22 innings over 17 big-league appearances this season he's delivered a 2.45 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB.

Eric Hartman - First 20-30 player at any level Hartman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored for High-A Rome on Wednesday.

Impact It's a modest single-game line, but the long ball made Hartman the first player this year at any level to reach 20 homers and 30 steals -- and he's done it in just 71 games. The 20-year-old has rocketed up prospect lists this season while producing a .290/.357/.559 slash line that comes with a respectable 22.7 percent strikeout rate. Per Jesse Borek of MLB.com, Ronald Acuna was the last Atlanta minor-leaguer to record a 20-30 campaign in 2017, while Eric Davis with the Reds in 1987 is the only major-leaguer to reach those milestones more quickly in a season since 1900.

Grant Holmes - Slated to start Friday Holmes will start Friday's series opener versus the Mets in Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Atlanta will plug Holmes back into the rotation after he made his first appearance of the season as a reliever his last time out Saturday, striking out four batters over four shutout innings against the Giants. Per Bowman, Atlanta believes Holmes could prove to be a more valuable asset in the bullpen, where he would be able to work at a higher velocity and lean more heavily on his slider, a pitch that has generated a 41.3 percent whiff rate on the season. A decision on Holmes' role beyond this weekend could hinge on the performance of Hurston Waldrep, who will draw a start Thursday against the Cardinals after Atlanta opted to skip Bryce Elder's turn in the rotation. Elder is expected to rejoin the rotation next week, and if Waldrep fares well against the Cardinals and earns himself an extended leash as a starter, Holmes would likely head back to the bullpen on a more permanent basis.

Hurston Waldrep - Confirmed as starter for Thursday Atlanta manager Walt Weiss confirmed that Waldrep will start Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Waldrep made his 2026 debut with Atlanta last Friday, pitching two innings of relief behind starter Reynaldo Lopez, who covered three innings. Atlanta will make room for both pitchers in the rotation this week, as Bryce Elder will have his turn skipped while Waldrep starts the series finale after Lopez made a five-inning start in Wednesday's win. Though Elder is expected to return to the rotation next week, Waldrep could end up sticking around in a starting role beyond Thursday's outing, as Atlanta is contemplating moving Grant Holmes to the bullpen. Waldrep's performance Thursday will likely hold some influence on Atlanta's decision, though the right-hander shouldn't be expected to work more than five or six innings, regardless of how well he's pitching. Since completing his recovery from a Feb. 23 arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies from his right elbow, Waldrep hasn't tossed more than 71 pitches or covered more than 4.2 innings in any of his outings in the majors or minors.

Braves Bring Up Jim Jarvis to Boost Lineup, DFA Veteran Bat The Atlanta Braves are giving one of their more intriguing prospects in Triple-A another crack at the big leagues

23 HOURS AGO • SI.COM

Jim Jarvis - Back in big leagues Atlanta recalled Jarvis from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact Jarvis has had a breakout season this year at Gwinnett, slashing .313/.406/.461 with six home runs, 32 stolen bases and a 46:55 BB:K over 76 games. He was up briefly with Atlanta in May, going 1-for-5 at the plate. Shortstop is Jarvis' main position, but he can also handle second base and third base. Jarvis would have some fantasy potential -- particularly in the stolen base department -- if he receives regular playing time, but there's no guarantee that will happen.
