Braves Minor League Preview 6/24
Briefly

The Atlanta Braves' minor league affiliates will begin a new set of games this week, featuring various matchups. Notably, Gwinnett Stripers' pitcher Hurston Waldrep is under scrutiny as he faces the Norfolk Tides, with mixed performance this season. Other matchups include the Columbus Clingstones facing the Biloxi Shuckers, with Drew Compton emerging as a key offensive player. The Rome Emperors and Augusta GreenJackets also play against Greenville Drive and Fayetteville Woodpeckers, respectively. Watch for standout performances from several players in these games to enhance their prospects.
It's Hurston Waldrep day for Gwinnett as they move to Norfolk to start a new series. The way his season has gone, you never know what to expect, as he has mixed flashes of dominance with real battles with his command.
The duo of David McCabe and Ethan Workinger has slowed a bit recently, though Drew Compton has helped to pick up some of the slack with his hot bat over the last few weeks.
Herick Hernandez is on the bump to take on Greenville in this new home series. The season has been a mixed bag for Hernandez so far, though we have seen flashes of why the Braves liked the lefty out of Miami so much in last year's draft.
With the pitchers not yet set for this one, the focus will be on the Augusta lineup featuring Owen Carey, John Gil, Colby Jones, Mason Guerra, and Nick Montgomery - along with a resurgent Douglas Glod.
