Braves pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach has been placed on the 15-day injured list after breaking his right elbow during a start last weekend.

With Jurickson Profar wrapping up his suspension for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drug policy, the Braves have decided to cut ties with Alex Verdugo.

Verdugo, 29, is now out of a job after signing a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Atlanta in late March, which followed a long offseason of searching for his next team. After spending the first few weeks in the minors, Verdugo was called up in mid-April, hitting .341/.396/.455 in 48 plate appearances through the first month.

The Los Angeles Angels battle the Atlanta Braves in the second game of their 3-game series Wednesday at Truist Park.
