Walt Weiss Provides Update on Spencer Schwellenbach's Recovery
Braves manager Walt Weiss recently discussed the recovery of pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach, who has not participated in any games this season due to elbow surgery he underwent during Spring Training.
Although Schwellenbach began throwing in June and has moved on to bullpen sessions, Weiss described his recovery as an uneven process, indicating that the 26-year-old still does not feel fully himself. Given his age and importance to the team's future, the Braves are unlikely to rush his return.
Even with a potential start to a rehab assignment soon, it is improbable that Schwellenbach would be ready to rejoin the major league team before mid-September. While a return this season is not completely ruled out, the outlook remains uncertain.
