Braves Determine Next Step for Hurston Waldrep Recovery
- Waldrep is set to start his rehab assignment on Monday after progressing from bullpen sessions to live batting practice.
- Anthopoulos said Waldrep threw a simulated two innings and is throwing between 96 mph and 99 mph.
- Waldrep has been on the injured list for more than 60 days but is eligible to be activated once a roster spot is cleared.
- The Braves expect a rotation upgrade after the All-Star Break as more pitchers return.
- Spencer Schwellenbach is progressing slowly, with light throwing and a mound timeline still to come.
- AJ Smith-Shawver is throwing bullpen sessions as he works back from Tommy John surgery.
- Joey Wentz is undergoing physical therapy for a torn ACL.
- The Braves currently rank high in the NL with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP.
- Waldrep has been recovering from elbow surgery to remove loose bodies.
- Anthopoulos noted Schwellenbach is progressing well, with more time on a mound needed before live BP.
- The report came during BravesVision ahead of a Sunday game against the Reds.
