It’s an extremely encouraging update after Schwellenbach landed on the injured list in early July with a fractured right elbow and didn’t return before season’s end. The dynamic 25-year-old righty holds a sparkling 3.23 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 235/41 K/BB ratio across 234 1/3 innings (38 starts) over the past two seasons. He’ll head into next spring as a top-20 fantasy starter.

Schwellenbach hit the injured list back in early July with a fractured right elbow and his odds of making it back prior to the end of the regular season appear microscopic at best. The 25-year-old burgeoning fantasy ace hasn’t been officially ruled out, but he’s running out of time to start ramping up a throwing program.

The procedural move guarantees that Schwellenbach will be on the shelf recovering from a fractured right elbow until at least late-August. The 25-year-old right-hander, who hit the injured list earlier this week after imaging revealed the fracture, has expressed optimism that he’ll pitch again this season, but there won’t be an official return timeline until the fracture heals to the point that he’s cleared to resume a throwing program. There’s a strong chance he doesn’t make it back until some point in September, if at all.

It’s a concerning development that fantasy managers should keep in mind when evaluating pitchers that show up to future spring training’s with significant velocity upticks. The 25-year-old has been diagnosed with a fractured right elbow and won’t be able to resume throwing until it heals completely. He’s hoping to pitch again this season, but that sounds like an extreme long shot.

According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Schwellenbach felt soreness in his right elbow after his 12-strikeout effort against the Phillies on Saturday, and the scan revealed the fracture. The 25-year-old will obviously be out for longer than the minimum two-week stint, and it’s possible — if not likely — that he threw his last pitch in 2025. There should be an update on his status and his rehab program in the coming days. This is a bummer.

Impressive. Schwellenbach allowed just three hits in the contest while issuing one free pass, and only one of his hits allowed went for extra bases. He generated a whopping 19 swings-and-misses over 90 pitches. That makes four starts in a row that Schwellenbach has gone at least seven innings, and he’s forged a 35/4 K/BB ratio over those outings. He’s obviously someone who should be in fantasy lineups for Friday’s scheduled bout against the Orioles.

Schwellenbach got just five missed swings tonight, with three of those coming on the seven splitters he threw. Still, it all worked out fine. The only damage came on Juan Soto’s homer in the sixth. Schwellenbach completed seven innings for the eighth time this season. He’s gone at least six in all but two of his 16 starts. He’s slated to face the Phillies next.

Schwellenbach had great swing-and-miss stuff tonight, generating 22 whiffs, but he gave up solo homers in the first and fifth and a two-run double in between. Over his last five starts, he has a 2.80 ERA and an exceptional 43/4 K/BB in 35 1/3 innings. He’ll face the Marlins on Sunday.

The Braves had relievers up in the eighth and ninth innings, but Schwellenbach was allowed to continue and retired Jackson Chourio, William Contreras and Jake Bauers on 11 pitches during the final frame. In all, he threw 105 pitches, and he went without a walk for the fifth time in 14 starts this year. Schwellenbach has gone 4-1 in his last six starts to improve to 5-4 with a 3.11 ERA for the season. His next start will likely come a week from today against the Mets.

Schwellenbach walked two over those six innings, and he struck out four while allowing six hits. It was a far cry from the impressive 11 strikeouts he procured against the Red Sox last week, but his struggles still resulted in a quality start while seeing his ERA bump up to a still-good 3.24. He’ll be back on the bump against the Brewers on Wednesday if there’s no change to the rotation order.

The Red Sox were the only team that hadn’t been shut out this season, but that’s over now. Schwellenbach and Walker Buehler were both about 1.5 mph over their typical velocities in this one, which had us wondering if there was some sort of calibration issue. However, the relievers that followed in the contest were at their norms or below. Schwellenbach was recorded hitting 100 mph twice and averaged 98.1 mph with his 49 fastballs. It’s the second straight outing in which he’s tied his career high of 11 strikeouts, and he went without allowing a run for the first time since doing so in each of his first two outings of the year. Schwellenbach will take a 4-4 record and a 3.13 ERA into his next start against the Giants.

The 24-year-old right-hander amassed 11 strikeouts on the day and didn’t walk a batter. The Padres scratched out a single run against him in the opening inning, then Schwellenbach kept the Padres off the board until Gavin Sheets blasted a two-out, two-run homer in the sixth after an error by Austin Riley had extended the inning. He also allowed a solo shot to Jake Cronenworth in the seventh. Schwellenbach generated a whopping 20 swings and misses on 101 pitches on the afternoon — 11 of them on his fastball which averaged 97.5 mph — while posting an outstanding CSW of 37 percent. He’ll carry a 3.42 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 60/12 K/BB ratio (68 1/3 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Red Sox.

All of the runs against Schwellenbach came on a grand slam off the bat of Rafael Devers. However, Schwellenbach failed to miss bats all game, posting just a 14 percent whiff rate while striking out three and walking one. The 24-year-old has been solid this season and has a deep arsenal of pitches, but he has also only posted 52 strikeouts in 68 1/3 innings this season. The lack of swing-and-miss puts a bit of a cap on his fantasy upside, and he has a tough matchup against the Padres next week.

The only run allowed came in the fifth inning when he gave up a double to Jose Trevino. Outside of that, he was rarely in trouble, as he struck out six with two walks while scattering five hits allowed. It was against a decidedly weaker lineup, but it’s encouraging to see Schwellenbach rebound from allowing six runs over 3 2/3 against the Dodgers in his last outing. Schwellenbach should be in fantasy lineups Tuesday for his scheduled start against the Nationals.

Schwellenbach gave up one in the second, four in the third, and another two in the fourth in a lackluster effort. At least the first inning was ok. Schwellenbach needed a whopping 92 pitches to get his 11 outs, and saw his ERA jump up to 3.92 from the 2.87 mark he had before the start. The Dodgers are going to do this to a lot of good pitchers. The 24-year-old will get a chance to rebound at home against the Reds next week.

Schwellenbach got 16 missed swings in a six-strikeout day, but he also gave up 10 hard-hit balls, including a Geraldo Perdomo homer. Schwellenbach’s last three starts haven’t been nearly as impressive as his first three. He’s still a fine bet going forward, but he might not be a true fantasy ace just yet. He’ll take on the Dodgers next.

Schwellenbach generated just nine swings and misses over seven innings, but after allowing two RBI singles in the second, the 24-year-old right-hander kept the Cards off the board. It’s a vast improvement over his struggles against the Blue Jays last time out, and it lowers his ERA to a very strong 2.56 for the campaign. He’s back on the bump against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, and he’s quickly become a starter who needs to be in fantasy lineups regardless of the opponent.

The right-hander also issued a pair of walks in the ballgame while striking out three. He had limited the Jays to just one run through the first four innings, but the wheels fell off for him in the fifth as Alan Roden crushed a two-run homer and Anthony Santander added a three-run shot. Schwellenbach got 11 swings and misses on 86 pitches in the ballgame, registering a CSW of 18 percent. He’ll look to get back on track as he brings a 2.55 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and a 22/5 K/BB ratio (24 2/3 innings) into Monday’s matchup against the Cardinals.
