Braves confirm Foltynewicz will not be ready by Opening Day

Those who follow the Braves have been well aware that the injury bug has bitten the Braves to start spring training. None of the injuries, at least for the moment, appear to be overly serious. However, the Braves have still seen guys like AJ Minter, Mike Soroka, Max Fried, Kevin Gausman, and others getting dinged up and having their pre-season work altered.

The biggest name on this front has been Mike Foltynewicz who has been dealing with discomfort in his elbow from bone spurs. Folty hadn’t felt right this spring, in particular throwing his breaking ball, and has had to basically restart his spring throwing program as a result.
