Saginaw’s Spencer Schwellenbach Sidelined with Fractured Elbow
- On Wednesday, Braves pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach sustained a fractured elbow during a recent start and was placed on the 15-day injured list.
- After pitching 90 times against Philadelphia, Schwellenbach felt tightness, and imaging revealed a small fracture, which experts called a 'freak accident' resulting from an unclear development.
- Schwellenbach is 7-4 with a 3.09 ERA, leading Braves in wins and third in NL in WHIP over 110⅔ innings, an All-Star candidate.
- The Braves, 38-46 and seven games behind Philadelphia, face increased rotation challenges and may become sellers before the July 31 trade deadline due to Schwellenbach's injury.
- Schwellenbach is projected to be out until at least September, risking Atlanta's seven-year playoff streak if the team exits the race.
