Mark Bowman of mlb.com provided several updates on the Atlanta Braves ahead of Friday’s contest at Truist Park. Most notably, Spencer Schwellenbach is in Atlanta and will throw a couple bullpens. Though just now ramping up baseball activities, he is hopeful for a return this September.
Bowman also provided updates on Ha-Seong Kim and Hurston Waldrep. Kim’s rehab assignment has expired, and Waldrep continues to be evaluated after experiencing arm discomfort.

Schwellenbach’s return to baseball activities is an encouraging step in his recovery, even if there’s still work to be done before he’s back on the mound. The Braves will continue monitoring his progress, as well as the statuses of Kim and Waldrep, in the coming weeks.
