2026 Fantasy Outlook
Schwellenbach made modest improvements to his ERA (3.09), WHIP (0.97) and walk rate (4.1 percent) in 2025, but he was limited to just 17 starts due to a season-ending elbow fracture he sustained in late June. The right-hander was back to throwing before the end of the season and should be healthy to open 2026, but the injury derailed a campaign with high expectations coming off a breakout rookie season in 2024. The encouraging news going forward is that Schwellenbach dealt with a fracture rather than a ligament issue, especially considering that the right-hander already underwent Tommy John surgery a few years ago. He has yet to establish himself with a full season in a big-league rotation, but Schwellenbach has about as much upside as any pitcher with a 3.23 ERA through 38 career starts. If he can stay healthy in 2026, he should be a top-end starter in Atlanta's rotation. Read Past Outlooks
