Braves Face Turmoil: Schwellenbach’s Broken Elbow, Profar’s Suspicious Return, and Verdugo’s Sudden Cut Shake Team Dynamics
A 25-year-old in his second big league season, Schwellenbach is 7-4 with a 3.09 ERA and leads the Braves in wins, WHIP (0.967) and innings (110 2/3). He has won six of his last seven decisions.
Atlanta’s rotation already was missing Chris Sale (broken rib), AJ Smith-Shawver (Tommy John surgery) and Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder surgery).
“We’re pushing young guys all the time, and may end up that we have to do it again,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
Schwellenbach was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Sunday.
