Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow, MLB.com reported on Wednesday.

Per the report, right-hander Hurston Waldrep will undergo a similar procedure on Monday.

While the Braves did not provide a specific timeline for their expected returns, manager Walt Weiss said that he is hopeful that both hurlers will be able to pitch again this year.

"I'm not sure," Weiss said. "We all hope for that, but you never know how these things go."

As it stands, Schwellenbach was placed on the 60-day injured list on Feb. 10. Waldrep likely will follow suit.

Schwellenbach, 25, quickly became a key member of the Braves' starting rotation after his major league debut in May 2024.

In 38 career starts, he has posted a 15-11 record, 3.23 ERA and 1.007 WHIP, striking out 235 batters and issuing 41 walks over 234 1/3 innings.

Waldrep, 23, went 6-1 with a 2.88 ERA in 10 games (nine starts) last season.
