The Atlanta Braves are pitching right-handed pitcher Hurston Waldrep today, August 9, 2025. He is making his second start of the season in the first game of a split doubleheader against the Miami Marlins. Waldrep was recently recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for this start after a strong performance against the Cincinnati Reds earlier this month. The Braves made roster moves to accommodate him, including optioning out left-hander Dylan Dodd and infielder Jonathan Ornelas. Waldrep's start today is part of the Braves' effort to evaluate him more closely as a potential rotation member for the future.
