Spencer Strider Could Rejoin The Rotation In Late April
Spencer Strider (elbow) to rejoin the starting rotation sometime in late April, sources tell MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. Strider, who won 20 games for Atlanta in 2023, underwent an internal-brace surgery to fix his right UCL last April. He could throw in a Grapefruit League game before the end of spring training and then is likely to start a 30-day minor-league rehab assignment when the regular season opens. The 26-year-old was fourth in the National League Cy Young voting in 2023, when he went 20-5 with a 3.86 ERA in 186 2/3 innings. Strider's arrow is pointing up for sure, but fantasy managers will have to expect the Braves to slow-play the talented right-hander when he's back in the rotation after he made only two starts a year ago. But because of his upside, he's in play as a No. 3/4 fantasy starting pitcher in upcoming drafts.
