Hurston Waldrep - Out three months if surgery needed Waldrep would be sidelined for approximately three months if Dr. Keith Meister recommends surgery to remove loose bodies in the pitcher's right elbow, Mark Bowman of MLB.com report...

Impact If Meister determines surgery isn't required, Waldrep could require just three weeks of rest. A decision has not yet been made but is expected this week. Even if Waldrep does not undergo surgery, it's likely he will need a stint on the injured list to begin the season. The elbow injury also effectively removes him from the competition for the final spot in Atlanta's rotation, at least in the near term.

Dominic Smith - Links up with Atlanta as NRI Atlanta signed Smith to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Chad Bishop of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Smith played well in 63 games with the Giants last season, slashing .284/.333/.417 with five home runs. The 30-year-old has not started a game at a position other than first base since 2021, when he was the Mets' regular left fielder. Matt Olson has played all 162 games in each of his four seasons in Atlanta, which means Smith is surely ticketed for Triple-A Gwinnett.

Austin Riley - Confident after normal offseason Riley didn't have any limitations this offseason and worked with Atlanta hitting coach Tim Hyers on finding his old swing, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact The third baseman underwent sports hernia surgery in early August that ended his 2025 campaign prematurely, but he was fully recovered in time to get back to his normal offseason routine. That's a marked contrast to the previous offseason, when hand surgery left Riley in a cast until January and had him playing catchup during spring training. While he missed a total of 112 regular-season games over the prior two seasons, Riley appears to be in good shape to regain the form that saw him average 36 homers, 99 RBI and 159.3 games played from 2021-23.

Hurston Waldrep out indefinitely with "loose bodies" in elbow Atlanta has more injury issues in their rotation less than one week into Spring Training.

FEBRUARY 15 • BATTERYPOWER.COM

Hurston Waldrep - Dealing with elbow discomfort Waldrep experienced right elbow discomfort after showing up to spring training and will be visiting specialist Dr. Keith Meister this week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact An MRI showed loose bodies but no ligament damage, but it's too early to declare Waldrep in the clear as he goes to visit Dr. Meister, who is a surgeon well known for operating on MLB arms. The 23-year-old Waldrep was already facing an uphill battle to cracking Atlanta's Opening Day rotation, but his availability for the start of the season, and beyond, is now in question.
