Braves Rotation Crisis Deepens | Chattanooga News

Braves’ pitching rotation takes a major hit as Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep both face season-ending surgeries—Schwellenbach for recurring bone spurs, Waldrep for Tommy John. Even Strider, sidelined since June with elbow inflammation, now looks unlikely to return this year. Manager Walt Weiss was surprised by the setbacks, noting both pitchers were progressing before flare-ups forced MRIs and surgery decisions. With key arms out, pressure mounts on Sale, Elder, Pérez, Holmes, and Mahle as Atlanta heads into the playoffs. A glimmer of hope? Reliever Robert Suarez may throw off a mound next week, but the starting staff’s struggles loom large. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
