Spencer Schwellenbach May Need Surgery to Remove Bone Spurs
Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) said he may need to undergo arthroscopic surgery to have bone spurs removed from his right elbow, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. When asked if he fears he could miss the entire 2026 season, Schwellenbach said he doesn't know what the recovery time would be. The 25-year-old was placed on the 60-day injured list on Tuesday, so he will at least miss the first two months of the regular season, if not more. It's a tough break for the Braves and for Schwellenbach, who also missed the last three months of last season due to a small fracture in his right elbow. Schwellenbach was coming off a breakout rookie campaign in 2024, and he was showing modest improvements in 2025 before his unfortunate elbow injury. With Schewellenbach out for the foreseeable future and possibly most of the season, Hurston Waldrep should benefit the most in Atlanta's rotation.
