Kinley Back, Waldrep Down | Atlanta Braves News

Tyler Kinley’s back in the Braves’ bullpen after a paternity leave, just in time for the All-Star break, as the team moves Hurston Waldrep to Triple-A following a brutal start in Pittsburgh. Waldrep’s shaky outing—seven earned runs in under three innings—follows a rough return from elbow surgery and a once-promising 2025 breakout. Kinley, 35 and signed to a $4.25M deal, rejoins a bullpen riding a two-game win streak and a division-leading Braves squad headed to St. Louis. Waldrep’s got work to do in the minors, but his path back to Atlanta remains open after the break. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
