Wentz’s Potential Downtime Clouds Braves’ Spring Depth, Fulton and Miller Update NL East
Joey Wentz left a spring game with a possible right-leg injury, but early tests suggest it isn’t serious; if he’s sidelined, Bryce Elder or Martin Perez could grab the Braves’ fifth starter slot as rotation depth is tested after elbow surgeries for Schwellenbach and Waldrep. Dax Fulton was optioned to the Marlins’ minor league camp but could be recalled later as a bullpen option, while Phillies top prospect Aidan Miller is sidelined by a lower-back issue and likely to start the season in Triple-A, with a 2026 MLB debut still anticipated.
