Waldrep underwent surgery back in February. He remains without a clear timetable to return, but the fact that he was placed on the 15-day injured list and not the 60-day injured list shows he could return sooner rather than later.

Hurston Waldrep is scheduled to undergo surgery on Monday to remove loose bodies.

It is another tough blow for the Braves rotation as Spencer Schwellenbach underwent the same surgery on Wednesday. The Braves aren’t providing a timeline as they remain hopeful Waldrep can return at some point this season.

The expectation is Hurston Waldrep would miss three months if surgery is required.
