"Spencer Strider will begin the season on the injured list after being diagnosed with an oblique strain. The Braves haven't issued a timeline for Strider's return, but the hope is that he can return in a few weeks."
"Strider, 27, missed most of the first six weeks of last season and then delivered the worst year of his career, going 7-14 with a 4.45 ERA and 131 strikeouts."
"The injury is the latest setback for an Atlanta starting rotation that has already seen both Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep put on the 60-day injured list after undergoing elbow surgery."
"On the offensive side, shortstop Ha-Seong Kim will miss more than a month with a hand injury, while Jurickson Profar was suspended for the entire season after a positive PED test."
Spencer Strider has been diagnosed with an oblique strain and will begin the season on the injured list. The Braves have not provided a timeline for his return, but there is hope for a recovery in a few weeks. Strider's previous season was challenging, with a record of 7-14 and a 4.45 ERA. The Braves' rotation faces additional challenges with other players like Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep on the 60-day injured list and Joey Wentz out for the season. Offensively, Ha-Seong Kim will miss over a month due to a hand injury, and Jurickson Profar is suspended for the season due to a positive PED test.
