Spencer Strider Scheduled to Start Friday
Spencer Strider is expected to start the second half opener on Friday against the Yankees, reports David O'Brien of The Athletic. This move doesn't come as a surprise, as Chris Sale and Spencer Schwellenbach are both on the injured list. Strider will be followed by Joey Wentz on Saturday and Grant Holmes on Sunday. The 26-year-old isn't quite as dominant as he was before his 2024 surgery, but he did end the first half with a strong eleven-strikeout performance against the Athletics. Through 11 games and 61 ⅔ innings, he has posted a 3.94 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 74 strikeouts and 24 walks.
