""There's some things in there that shouldn't be there, I guess. I think it's fairly common with pitchers," Weiss said. "I don't want to elaborate on the loose bodies, because I'm not totally sure, but it probably needs to be dealt with. I don't know what that looks like as far as procedure or anything, but I guess Dr. Meister will let us know.""
"Waldrep didn't return to the Show until last August, and made a much better impression the second time around. Waldrep started nine of his 10 appearances, delivering a 2.88 ERA, 49.7% grounder rate, 24% strikeout rate, and 9.6% walk rate over 56 1/3 innings. While the lack of control left something to be desired, Waldrep did an excellent job of limiting big contact (4% barrel rate) and both his splitter and 95.9mph sinker were plus pitches."
Hurston Waldrep is experiencing soreness in his throwing elbow and will consult Dr. Keith Meister after an MRI found no structural damage but revealed loose bodies that may require treatment. Waldrep, the 24th overall pick in 2023, debuted less than a year later, posted a 16.71 ERA in his first two starts, and landed on the injured list with elbow inflammation. He spent about six weeks on the IL, was optioned to Triple-A, and returned in August to post a 2.88 ERA across nine starts with strong ground-ball and strikeout metrics. A 2026 rotation spot is not guaranteed amid a projected top five and possible offseason pursuit of additional starting pitching due to injury concerns.
