Spencer Schwellenbach

Spencer Schwellenbach told reporters he thinks that his recent increased velocity might’ve caused the fracture in his elbow.

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.
