Spencer Strider returns, strikes out six for Braves

cbssports.com —

Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider made his return to the mound on Monday after recovering from UCL surgery. In his first game since April 2024, he struck out six batters in 2 2/3 innings against the Boston Red Sox. Strider opted for an internal-brace repair instead of Tommy John surgery, allowing for a quicker recovery. His performance in spring training suggests he could rejoin the Braves' rotation by late April or early May. Strider previously had a successful 2023 season, finishing fourth in the National League Cy Young voting. His return is crucial for the Braves as they compete in a challenging NL East division.
