Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Cleared to resume throwing
Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) has resumed throwing and is hopeful to throw a live batting practice session in the near future, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.Schwellenbach has received the green light to begin a throwing program in Atlanta as he continues to work back from a small fracture in his right elbow suffered at the end of June. McAuley notes that the club is optimistic Schwellenbach can complete a live BP session over the next week or so before being sent home for the winter, which effectively rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 season.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Return this season looking unlikely
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) has yet to resume throwing, and the right-hander appears unlikely to return this season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.Schwellenbach is a little more than a month removed from suffering a small fracture in his pitching elbow. While Atlanta has yet to officially rule the right-hander out for the season, he's without a timeline to resume throwing, and he'll need extended time to be built back up once he picks up a baseball. With Atlanta already essentially out of the playoff picture, the club has little incentive to push Schwellenbach to return in September.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Moves to 60-day IL
Atlanta transferred Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.Schwellenbach felt soreness in his elbow a day after a June 28 start against the Phillies and was sent for further tests, which revealed a small fracture. The 25-year-old is expected to be shut down from throwing for at least four weeks and is unlikely to return to the Atlanta rotation until September, so his move to the 60-day IL won't affect his recovery timeline. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jesse Chavez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Diagnosed with fractured elbow
Atlanta placed Spencer Schwellenbach on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a fractured right elbow.Per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Schwellenbach felt sore the day after his last start against the Phillies, and tests revealed that he has a small fracture in his pitching elbow. The right-hander will be shut down for four weeks but hopes to return in September. Given the nature of the injury and where Atlanta is in the standings, it's certainly possible Schwellenbach won't be on a major-league mound again until next season. He's been one of the few bright spots for Atlanta in 2025, collecting a 3.09 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 108:18 K:BB over 110.2 innings covering 17 starts.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Strikes out 12 in win
Spencer Schwellenbach (7-4) allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out 12 over seven innings to earn the win over Philadelphia on Saturday.The 12 strikeouts are a season high for Schwellenbach, who continues to pitch deep into games for Atlanta. He's covered at least seven innings in seven of his last nine starts and in nine of 17 outings overall this season. He had some bumpy spots in June but allowed a modest 13 runs (12 earned) over 36 innings while maintaining a 37:6 K:BB for the month. Overall this year, he's at a 3.09 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 108:18 K:BB through 110.2 innings. If Atlanta uses Monday's off day to skip the fifth spot in the rotation, Schwellenbach is tentatively lined up to make his next start at home versus the Angels on normal rest -- if that doesn't happen, he'll likely pitch during next weekend's home series against the Orioles.

Spencer Schwellenbach allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday.This was a bit of a letdown after back-to-back 11-strikeout games from the 25-year-old right-hander. Schwellenbach still earned his third straight quality start, but two of those have just met that standard due to some mistakes from Atlanta's defense. He's also completed six innings in all but two of his 13 starts so far as he remains a reliable part of the rotation. Schwellenbach has a 3.24 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 75:14 K:BB over 80.2 innings.
