In a tough blow for the Atlanta Braves, pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach has been added to the injury list with a fractured right elbow, marking the fourth starter lost this season. Schwellenbach, boasting a 3.09 ERA and 108 strikeouts, recently showcased his talent with a dominant performance against the Philadelphia Phillies, where he struck out 12 and allowed just one run over seven innings. This comes on the heels of injuries to fellow pitchers Chris Sale, Reynaldo Lopez, and AJ Smith-Shawver, all of whom are also sidelined due to significant injuries.

Despite Schwellenbach's promising performance, the Braves are facing a challenging period without key starters. The team will need to dig deep into its roster to maintain its competitive edge as they navigate through this tumultuous stretch.
