Braves Outright Jason Hursh

By Jeff Todd | August 8, 2018 at 1:33pm CDT

The Braves announced today that they have outrighted righty Jason Hursh. He has already cleared waivers and been assigned to Double-A, leaving two openings on the club’s 40-man roster.

Hursh, 26, came to the club with the 31st pick of the 2013 draft. He opened his first full season in the minors at the Double-A level, but was bumped into a relief role in the ensuing campaign and has worked in that capacity since.

Though he briefly reached the majors in 2016 and 2017, Hursh has mostly plied his trade in the upper minors over the past several seasons. This year, he carries a 3.97 ERA in 56 2/3 innings, with 8.3 K/9 and 5.2 BB/9.

    I am guessing 1 off those ooen spots is being held for Touki and the other is now open to make a potential August waiver claim/trade!

        Soroka wouldn’t have been removed for a DL stint. To do so meant he would have to pass through waivers also. I think he’s right probably. Either that or it’s for someone like Austin Riley or Austin Jackson when rosters expand in September maybe?

          ? Putting someone on the 60 day DL opens up a 49 man roster spot, and and when they’re ready to come off you have to open a spot back up for them

          Being placed on the 60 day removes you from the 40 man. When he returns he will have to be added back.

    Not surprised, other more promising prospects in the braves organization have passed him by.

    At some point you got to think they will give up on him or trade him for cheap. He’s still got a tiny bit of potential and was a former 1st round pick. A rebuilding team prob would be willing to take a chance on him… even if the braves hardly get anything in return. Reds, White Sox come to mind. Trade him for just a little bit of cash or a lower lvl project? Idk

    The very next pick in that draft was Aaron judge. Braves screwed the pooch on that pick.
