AI Summary
Hurston Waldrep is progressing through his recovery from elbow surgery, now throwing bullpen sessions as he works toward a minor league rehab assignment and potential return to Atlanta's rotation around midseason.
Waldrep continues working his way back from surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow back in February. The 24-year-old former top prospect will progress to facing hitters in live batting practice before he's cleared to head out on a minor league rehab assignment. It seems likely he'll be on the shelf until around midseason before he's ready to rejoin Atlanta's rotation.
