"Obliques are often talked about as lingering, but that tends to be in the context of hitters - the Braves did feel comfortable giving Strider about two weeks off in 2022 with a similarly-described issue."
"The runway just keeps widening for Didier Fuentes to make some noise. Or, the Braves may pick up some roster cut for additional depth."
Spencer Strider has been placed on the Injured List, raising concerns about his availability and effectiveness for the Braves. This situation mirrors his previous oblique injury late in the 2022 season. While this may simplify roster decisions for the Braves, the uncertainty surrounding Strider's recovery is troubling. The team may need to consider additional depth options, including Didier Fuentes or Martin Perez, as they prepare for the Opening Day rotation, which currently includes multiple pitchers.
