Moves to 60-day IL
PAtlanta Braves
Elbow
July 6, 2025
Atlanta transferred Schwellenbach (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Analysis
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.
