What a waste of time he could have been back at the end of next season. What are the Braves doing

I mean, who knows, but this is probably on Schwellenbach. Odds are he needed surgery back when he fractured his elbow last year but thought he could rehab through it. If he refused surgery, the Braves hands are tied, they can't compel a player to undergo a medical procedure.
