‘Folty’ nearing return, could make 2 starts before All-Star break
If things go as planned, Mike Foltynewicz will be back in the Braves rotation in less than two weeks and make a pair of starts before the All-Star break.
The hard-throwing right-hander, on the 15-day disabled list with bone spurs in his pitching elbow, is scheduled to pitch five innings in a rehab start Saturday for Triple-A Gwinnett, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said, then make one more minor league start before rejoining the Braves rotation.
That could put him on schedule to return to the Braves rotation July 5 against Philadelphia, and start July 10 against the White Sox in the last game before the All-Star break.
