Braves to Debut Top Prospect Spencer Schwellenbach on Wednesday

The 23-year-old right-hander makes a swift rise from Double-A to fill a rotation spot amid injuries.

  • Schwellenbach, the Braves' No. 3 prospect, has excelled with a 1.80 ERA in eight starts this season.
  • He will start against the Nationals after just two Double-A outings.
  • Drafted in 2021, Schwellenbach has overcome Tommy John surgery to reach the majors quickly.
  • The Braves face a pitching shortage with several starters injured or recovering from surgery.
  • Schwellenbach's debut follows a trend of rapid promotions within the Braves organization.
