Braves option Waldrep to Triple-A, reinstate Kinley
Atlanta made a bullpen swap Friday, sending Hurston Waldrep back to Gwinnett while lefty Tyler Kinley returned from the paternity list.
The Braves officially optioned right-hander Hurston Waldrep to Triple-A Gwinnett on July 10, 2026. Waldrep had appeared in three games this season while recovering from elbow surgery, posting an 8.44 ERA over 10.2 innings. Tyler Kinley was reinstated from the paternity list and immediately contributed a scoreless inning in Friday's game. With Kinley back, Waldrep will continue his development at the minor league level.
