Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images A fractured elbow derailed Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach's promising 2025 season last June.
As it turns out, it will also significantly delay the start to his 2026 campaign.
Schwellenbach will begin the season on the 60-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation, Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters on the first day of spring training Tuesday.
Surgery isn't expected, Weiss said, but the inflammation is likely to keep him out for an extended time.
Schwellenbach, 25, quickly became a crucial member of the Braves' starting rotation after his major league debut in May 2024.
In 38 starts, he has posted a 15-11 record, 3.23 ERA and 1.007 WHIP, striking out 235 batters and issuing 41 walks over 234 1/3 innings.
