Braves’ Hurston Waldrep Solid In Triple-A Debut
The Braves promoted righthander Hurston Waldrep to Triple-A this week as the team deals with multiple pitching injuries. Waldrep was solid in his first Triple-A start. He struck out a career-high 11 (one more than the 10 he struck out for Rome in his fourth pro start last season). The one big mistake was he gave up a two-run home run to Heston Kjerstad in the first inning. Waldrep allowed five hits and three runs in six innings. He walked one.
