The Atlanta Braves are in striking distance of getting Spencer Strider back in the rotation. However, this situation still isn't clear yet. According to The Athletic's David O'Brien, Strider said ...

In 2024, Strider threw just nine innings before being shut down and undergoing Tommy John surgery. He was one of MLB's best pitchers in 2023, racking up 20 wins and striking out a league-high 281 ...

The Braves' pitching staff would surely welcome Strider's return. While Spencer Schwellenbach has been able to build on an impressive 2024 season, the same cannot be said for the rest of the rotation.

Strider’s four-seamer averaged 95.2 mph on Tuesday, 0.1 mph higher than it did exactly a week earlier in Philadelphia. The D-backs whiffed with eight of 14 (57 percent) swings against the slider.

The Braves said they were still discussing who would replace Strider in Tuesday’s game, and said that could depend in part on how Monday night’s series opener went. They called up right-hander ...

I expect Strider to be awesome, to be clear. I'm just not 100% certain he's going to be the same dominant force he was prior to the injury. And I would imagine the Braves are going to have to find ...
