Fans seven in third win Waldrep (3-0) earned the win over the Guardians on Friday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Impact The 23-year-old generated 14 swinging strikes on 95 pitches and set a career high with seven strikeouts, blanking Cleveland for his first career scoreless outing. Since being recalled, the young starter has been impressive, winning each of his first three outings while yielding only two total runs across 17.2 innings. His ability to command the zone and miss bats has quickly made him a valuable boost to Atlanta's injury-prone rotation, and he'll take a 1.02 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB into his next scheduled start against the White Sox.

Albies' double in eighth inning secures Braves' 4-3 win over Mets

Remaining in rotation Atlanta manager Brian Snitker indicated after Saturday's doubleheader that Waldrep would be staying in the big-league rotation, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact The team is looking ahead to 2026, and Waldrep will get a prolonged audition in the majors as a result. The 2023 first-round pick has a 1.54 ERA and 10:3 K:BB over 11.2 MLB innings in August, extending a hot streak that had seen the right-hander post a 1.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB across his last 40.2 innings at Triple-A Gwinnett. Waldrep will likely bump either Erick Fedde, who also pitched in Saturday's twin bill, or Carlos Carrasco out of the rotation, with the other veteran on borrowed time until Chris Sale (ribs) is ready to return.

Shines in second victory Waldrep (2-0) earned the win over Miami in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

Impact Waldrep was called up for the contest for what could just be a spot start. The rookie right-hander at least gave Atlanta something to think about in terms of leaving him in the rotation, as he not only earned the victory, he also notched his first career quality start while racking up 12 whiffs and six punchouts over six frames. Through two major-league outings, Waldrep has surrendered just two runs over 11.2 innings while posting a 10:3 K:BB. Atlanta's pitching staff has been hit hard by injuries this season, and among current starters, none were part of the Opening Day rotation. With some shifting, that could leave room for Waldrep to be given a chance to remain a big-league starter, though it's worth noting that Chris Sale (ribs) is beginning a minor-league rehab stint next week and could be activated off the IL not long thereafter.

Braves recall rookie Waldrep while Marlins add Gusto as Game 1 starters in split doubleheader

The Atlanta Braves have recalled rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the first game of a split doubleheader against the Miami Marlins

AUGUST 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Recalled ahead of start Atlanta recalled Waldrep from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his start in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Miami.

Impact Although he carries a 4.42 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 19 starts in the minors, Waldrep was fairly effective during his season debut last Saturday. The 23-year-old gave up just one run in 5.2 innings against the Reds and will now aim to silence a Marlins squad that has been surging since the All-Star break. Dylan Dodd was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Likely to be back with Atlanta Waldrep will probably make another start for Atlanta during a doubleheader Saturday against the Marlins, Rick Farlow of MLB.com reports. "We have a doubleheader coming up at the en...

Impact The first-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft gave Atlanta 5.2 strong innings in his season debut for the club Sunday, five days after tossing seven scoreless frames for Triple-A Gwinnett in his best outing of the minor-league campaign. Waldrep has been coming on strong for Gwinnett, posting a 1.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB over his last seven starts and 40.2 innings, and with Atlanta's pitching staff in tatters, another good effort against Miami this weekend could earn him a much longer look in the majors. At the moment, Atlanta is trying to get through the rest of the season with veteran retreads Carlos Carrasco (5.68 ERA) and Erick Fedde (5.32 ERA) rounding out the rotation, but that duo has no place in the team's future plans.

Returns to Triple-A Waldrep was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after Sunday's 4-2 win over the Reds, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Impact Waldrep was called up to serve as Atlanta's 27th man for Sunday's continuation of the MLB Speedway Classic, earning the win after tossing 5.2 innings, allowing one run on three hits and two walks, while striking out four. The outing served to be his first major-league appearance of the year, certainly making a good impression with an Atlanta squad that has struggled with production on the mound recently. The right-hander will now return to Gwinnett, but he'll be eligible to be called up to potentially start one of Saturday's two games during the team's doubleheader with Miami.

Called up Sunday Atlanta recalled Waldrep from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as the 27th man for the continuation of the MLB Speedway Classic against the Reds on Sunday.

Impact Saturday's game was marred by two rain delays before being suspended halfway through the first inning, and Waldrep will join Atlanta to potentially provide some length. The 23-year-old was scheduled to start Sunday for Triple-A Gwinnett and should be available for a full workload. Waldrep surrendered 13 earned runs across his first two MLB appearances last year and has a 4.42 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 92:50 K:BB over 91.2 innings this season with Gwinnett.

AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dominant at Triple-A on Tuesday Waldrep threw seven scoreless innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out eight.

Impact There had been speculation the 23-year-old right-hander might get called up this week to bolster Atlanta's injury-ravaged rotation, but Waldrep instead remained at Gwinnett and delivered arguably his best performance of the season. He's given up two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts, posting a 1.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB over 40.2 innings during that stretch. With Atlanta out of the playoff picture and expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, the team could still promote Waldrep at some point over the final weeks of the campaign to help him get his feet wet in the majors ahead of competing for a rotation spot next spring.
