The #Braves today selected RHP Hurston Waldrep to the major league roster after optioning RHP Daysbel Hernández to Triple-A Gwinnett following yesterday's game. To make room on the 40-man roster, OF Ronald Acuña Jr. was transferred to the 60-day injured list. - Atlanta Braves (@Braves) June 9, 2024
Waldrep was Atlanta's No. 2 prospect in Battery Power's preseason prospect rankings. He advanced four levels last season after the Braves drafted him with the 24th pick out of Florida. He began the 2024 season back at Double A and overcame some early struggles to post a 2.92 ERA and a 3.07 FIP in 49 1⁄ 3 innings.
Hernandez was added to the roster prior to Saturday's game after Jimmy Hegret was placed on the injured list. He allowed a hit, a walk and struck out two in a scoreless appearance in Saturday's loss. Hernandez has made three appearances for the Braves this season allowing four hits and an unearned run over three innings of work.
