Most notable is that top pitching prospect Hurston Waldrep was recalled rather than being added as the extra man for today – that honor was bestowed upon pitcher Hunter Stratton. The move indicates that Waldrep will get a chance to make multiple starts for the Braves, whose starting pitching has been decimated by injuries.

Atlanta Braves starter Hurston Waldrep is showing much more than he did during is first big league call-up. As it turns out, Sean Murphy is a big reason why.

Hurston Waldrep threw six strong innings and Michael Harris II broke the game open with a three-run homer to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 7-1 win over the visiting Miami Marlins on Saturday in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
