Braves Place Spencer Strider on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
The Atlanta Braves announced on Saturday that they placed right-hander Spencer Strider (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with right-elbow inflammation and recalled right-hander Anthony Molina from the minors in a corresponding move. Strider was pulled from his outing on Friday against the division-rival New York Mets after his velocity took a dip. The Braves initially called it arm soreness. The Braves and fantasy managers have to be a bit worried after the 27-year-old only made two starts in 2024 before needing an internal-brace surgery on his right elbow. In his eight starts in 2026, Strider has gone 4-2 with a 5.31 ERA (5.37 FIP) and 1.36 WHIP with 46 strikeouts and 20 walks in 39 innings pitched. At the very least, Strider will miss a couple turns through the rotation, but this could end up being a much lengthier absence, depending on the results of his testing. If Strider has a serious injury, the Braves could turn to young right-hander Hurston Waldrep.
