The Braves sustained yet another injury within their starting staff, as young right-hander has been placed Andy Pettitte Jersey on the 15-day injured list due to elbow inflammation, per a team announcement. Righty is up from Triple-A Gwinnett in his place. Atlanta has also optioned outfielder to Gwinnett and recalled fellow outfielder in his place. Manager Brian Snitker indicated last night that Waldrep would be optioned to Gwinnnett. However, Mark Bowman of MLB.com that the 22-year-old Waldrep subsequently informed the teams training staff that his elbow was more sore than usual following his recent start. Hell now join , and on the injured list. Waldrep, the teams first-round pick just last year, made his MLB debut earlier this month. Hes taken the mound twice since being promoted to the big leagues but been hit quite hard, yielding 13 runs on nine hits and eight walks with only three strikeouts through seven innings. The former Florida Gator standout hasnt completed four innings in either of his two starts and i sued four free pa ses in each. Tough as his debut has been, Waldrep excelled in the upper minors prior to his promotion. Through 49 1/3 Double-A frames, he pitched to an excellent 2.92 ERA with a 22.4% strikeout rate and 7.9% walk rate. The Braves promoted him to Triple-A after that start, where he pitched six innings and allowed three runs but only on five hits and one walk with a terrific 11 strikeouts. Since he was set to be optioned anyhow, Waldreps injury wont nece sarily subtract from the immediate MLB rotation. Atlanta will still lean on , , , and rookie for the time being, and there are still quality options in Gwinnett most notably. But any elbow i sue for a promising young arm is troubling, and Waldreps injury does further deplete the teams depth for the time being. As for the outfield shuffle, Martinez will head down to Gwinnett after going hitle s in 10 plate appearances with the big league squad. Wall will get a look after batting .287/.393/.415 with four homers and 11 steals for the Stripers. Hell replace Martinez as a left-handed bat in the outfield mix, giving Snitker some additional speed off the bench. Given s woeful .084/.126/.108 slash against fellow righties hes hitting .275/.393/.565 against southpaws Wall could see some action against right-handed pitching as well. Parker Mushinski Jersey
