Braves manager Walt Weiss said that Hurston Waldrep (arm) will begin a throwing progression this week.

Waldrep has been shut down since July 19th, when he pulled himself from a start for Triple-A Gwinnett with right arm discomfort. There has been no information about specifically what part of the arm was bothering him, but it seems that he’s on the mend. Still, if he begins throwing this week, he’ll need to fully ramp up and then face live hitters before a rehab assignment, so it will be a stretch for him to come back and pitch meaningful innings this season.
