Scouting Report: Hurston Waldrep
Atlanta Braves | SP
Overall
Summary
Hurston Waldrep, 24-year-old Atlanta Braves pitcher, underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery on February 23, 2026 to remove loose bodies from his right elbow. As of mid-May 2026, he has begun throwing bullpen sessions at the Braves' Florida complex and is responding well with no setbacks reported. Manager Walt Weiss confirmed Waldrep is feeling fine and making good progress in his recovery. However, no definitive timeline for return has been established. Waldrep will need to advance to facing hitters before a clearer target date can be determined, followed by a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment before activation from the 15-day injured list.
