The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Hurston Waldrep on the 15-day injured list Monday with elbow inflammation.

Waldrep, 22, reported soreness following his second major league appearance on Sunday against Tampa Bay.

He surrendered six earned runs on five hits and four walks in 3 1/3 innings in Atlanta's 8-6 loss against the Rays.

A first-round pick in 2023, Waldrep fell to 0-1 with a 16.71 ERA through two starts for the Braves.

The Braves also recalled outfielder Forrest Wall and right-hander Daysbel Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett and optioned outfielder J.P. Martinez to Gwinnett.
