Overview

  • Spencer Strider has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list following a right hamstring strain sustained on April 21.
  • Strider is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Washington Nationals, marking his return to the rotation.
  • The 26-year-old right-hander missed most of the 2024 season recovering from Tommy John surgery but impressed in his 2023 All-Star campaign with a league-leading 281 strikeouts.
  • The Braves' rotation has struggled in 2025, ranking 11th in ERA and producing the third-fewest starter innings in MLB, heightening the importance of Strider's return.
  • In his lone appearance this season before injury, Strider allowed two runs over five innings with five strikeouts, though his fastball velocity was slightly diminished compared to 2023.
