What is the story about?
Not to fear, Braves fans, the starting rotation’s depth is soon to get stronger.
While we are waiting for the return of some more helpful hands like Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep, Smith-Shawver is another young dominant
arm that is expected to make an impact in Atlanta’s rotation.
After suffering a torn UCL that cut his strong stint (3.86 ERA) short last May, he’s making significant progress in his high-intensity bullpen sessions and looking to take the final step in facing live hitters before he’s assigned to rehab and find his way back in Atlanta’s clubhouse.
Waldrep started his rehab stint this past Monday, so the two are not far behind in each other in terms of progression.
