Summary
Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a strained hamstring suffered while playing catch, marking a setback after his season debut on April 16 following a year-long recovery from elbow surgery. Despite a strong minor league performance before his call-up, Strider struggled against the Toronto Blue Jays, contributing to the Braves’ disappointing start to the 2025 season, where they remain in last place in the NL East. The Braves, facing challenges with the fourth-worst starter ERA, must now navigate the next two weeks without him.
