Braves No. 4 Prospect to Pitch Saturday, Sale Set for Rehab Assignment

The Atlanta Braves have made the expected decision for the first game of the doubleheader against the Marlins on Saturday. Manager Brian Snitker said that No. 4 Hurston Waldrep will return to get the start.

Erick Fedde is already slated to pitch the second game at 7:15 p.m., so by default, Waldrep will take the first game at 1:15 p.m. It will be the first time he's pitched since the MLB Speedway Classic on Sunday.

Snitker had alluded to the likelihood of his call-up earlier in the week, so this just confirms the intention.
