Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow, MLB.com reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Per the report, right-hander Hurston Waldrep will undergo a similar procedure on Monday.<\/p>\n

While the Braves did not provide a specific timeline for their expected returns, manager Walt Weiss said that he is hopeful that both hurlers will be able to pitch again this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure,\u201d Weiss said. \u201cWe all hope for that, but you never know how these things go.\u201d<\/p>\n

As it stands, Schwellenbach was placed on the 60-day injured list on Feb. 10. Waldrep likely will follow suit.<\/p>\n

Schwellenbach, 25, quickly became a key member of the Braves\u2019 starting rotation after his major league debut in May 2024.<\/p>\n

In 38 career 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.<\/p>\n

Waldrep, 23, went 6-1 with a 2.88 ERA in 10 games (nine starts) last season.<\/p>\n
