Joey Wentz Suffers Season-Ending Torn ACL
Atlanta Braves left-hander Joey Wentz (knee) suffered a torn right ACL in a Grapefruit League game against the Tampa Bay Rays during a collision near first base on Sunday, according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Wentz will be forced to miss the entire 2026 season as a result. Although the 28-year-old southpaw has started only 39 of the 117 games he's pitched in over the course of his four-year big-league career, he offered the Braves some rotation depth with injuries to right-handers Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) and Hurston Waldrep (elbow), who both had surgeries on their arms this spring. It's yet another blow to the Braves' pitching depth before the start of the new season. Wentz pitched for the Braves, Pirates, and Twins in 2025, posting an ugly 5.60 ERA (4.06 FIP) and 1.56 WHIP with 92 K's and 43 walks in 98 innings in 39 appearances (13 starts).
