May 29 - The Atlanta Braves have recalled one of their top prospects from Double-A to open the third contest of their four-game home series against the Washington Nationals.
The teams have split the first two games, with Washington posting an 8-4 victory on Monday and the Braves winning 2-0 on Tuesday.
Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach will make his major league debut Wednesday night. He will be opposed by Washington left-hander MacKenzie Gore (3-4, 3.04 ERA).
Schwellenbach, 23, was the team's second-round draft pick in 2021, out of Nebraska, and had Tommy John surgery immediately after the draft.
