Schwellenbach’s Return Could Save Braves | MLB News

The Braves are in freefall, losing 12 of their last 16 games and clinging to a slim lead in the NL East—while their pitching staff, especially starter Spencer Schwellenbach, is in crisis. Schwellenbach, sidelined since last season by elbow bone spurs, could return as early as late August after a grueling rehab path through Florida and the minors. Though he posted a solid 3.23 ERA in 38 starts and a 3.09 mark before his injury, his absence has been felt. With the trade deadline looming in early August, the Braves may still need to make a splash for another starter—even with Schwellenbach on the horizon, the pressure’s on.
