Shakes off hamstring injury Waters (hamstring) picked up starts Friday and Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett, going 3-for-8 with an RBI between the two contests.

Impact Waters initially picked up the hamstring injury Tuesday, but after a couple days off, he was cleared to make his return to the Gwinnett lineup as a DH. After getting Saturday off, Waters resumed playing center field in Sunday's 6-5 win over Charlotte, so the hamstring injury doesn't appear to be a concern.

Hamstring issue returns Waters is day-to-day due to a hamstring injury with Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Waters felt tightness in his hamstring Wednesday and has been held out of consecutive games since. The injury is particularly worrisome because Waters began the season on the 7-day injured list with a similar issue. He has been limited to only four plate appearances to this point in 2022, though he has avoided another stint on the injured list to this point.

Big day in return to Triple-A Waters went 4-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact The outfielder missed the beginning of the season with a hamstring issue, but after a three-game rehab stint at High-A Rome, Waters returned to the Gwinnett lineup with a bang. The 23-year-old's prospect status has dimmed considerably after a rough 2021, but Waters could still factor into the picture for Atlanta at the big-league level if he can build some momentum, and lower his strikeout rate, at Triple-A this season.

Optioned to minors Atlanta optioned Waters (hamstring) to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Waters was already a longshot to make Atlanta's Opening Day roster heading into spring training, and any chance he had of breaking camp with the big club came to an end when he suffered a right hamstring injury last weekend during his second appearance of the Grapefruit League slate. Atlanta is characterizing Waters' injury as hamstring tightness rather than a strain, so he should have a shot at being ready to go when Gwinnett begins its season April 5.

Scratched with hamstring issue Waters was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's spring game against the Phillies due to right hamstring tightness.
