Hurston Waldrep is making his season debut for the Atlanta Braves as the starting pitcher in the resumed Speedway Classic game against the Cincinnati Reds. Infielder Jonathan Ornelas has returned to Triple-A after being added to the roster but was sent back prior to today's matchup. Waldrep, ranked as Battery Power's 2025 Mid-Season 11th prospect, made his MLB debut last season and has started 19 games this year for Gwinnett. The game was interrupted by rain, causing Spencer Strider to be scratched and leading to Austin Cox's brief start before Waldrep took over.
