Roster %
Eligibility

Spencer Schwellenbach took the loss Monday, allowing four earned runs on eight hits while striking out six over five innings against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
This outing nudged his ERA up to 5.40 and his WHIP to 1.28 for the season, reflecting a trend of inconsistency in his performance. Despite a solid 8.4 K/9 rate and a promising 3.57 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Schwellenbach's high ERA and susceptibility to hits, as indicated by a .329 BABIP, continue to be areas of concern. Fantasy managers should view him as a risky play, potentially valuable in strikeout categories but a liability in ERA and WHIP until he shows more consistent command and control.
Spencer Schwellenbach turned in a solid performance on Tuesday, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings in the Braves' 2-1 win over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
This was the second quality start in a row for Schwellenbach and should stabilize his position in the Braves' rotation. His improved command, evidenced by a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio in this game, suggests that he could be turning a corner to more consistent performances. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on him for potential spot starts, especially in favorable matchups.
Spencer Schwellenbach turned in a decent performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
Despite this being only his third start of the season, Schwellenbach showed some improvement, lowering his bloated ERA from 8.38 to a slightly less alarming figure. His WHIP also saw a slight improvement, but it's clear that he still has issues to iron out, particularly in controlling the game and limiting base runners. His 6.9 K/9 indicates potential for strikeouts, but fantasy managers should remain cautious. Schwellenbach's performance today was a step in the right direction, but he'll need to build on this outing to become a reliable fantasy option.
Spencer Schwellenbach is listed as the starter for the Braves Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Schwellenbach will match up against fellow rookie, Cade Povich. He draws a tough matchup against an Orioles’ offense that appears to be heating up.
