The starting pitcher is currently going through rehab for the injury and hopes to return at some point this season. On Friday, Strider was seen participating in a drill with the Atlanta Braves that will surely excite the fanbase.The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher was participating in infield simulations in Pittsburgh before the start of the Braves&#8217; game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to David O&#8217;Brien of The Athletic. He appeared to be moving well, fielding the ball and throwing it to first base.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Atlanta Braves NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Spencer Strider played just one game for the Braves this season before sustaining the hamstring injury. His first and only start this season was a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on April 16. However, he looked solid, for the most part, considering he hadn&#8217;t pitched in a game since the 2024 campaign. The one-time All-Star ended that contest with a 3.60 ERA and 1.600 WHIP while recording five strikeouts through five innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves expect to have Strider back in the rotation in the second half of May. If that&#8217;s the case, he&#8217;ll have a week or two before summer hits and should have plenty of time to get into a groove before the postseason. Assuming Atlanta makes a push for a playoff spot.<\/p>\n<p>Having him back on the roster will be huge for the Braves, as the team owns an 18-19 record heading into Friday&#8217;s contest. Until Spencer Strider is healthy on the mound again, Atlanta is relying on Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, Grant Holmes, Aj Smith-Shawver, and Bryce Elder. The team will either incorporate Strider into the group and utilize a six-man rotation, or they could move one of the starting pitchers to the bullpen.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Benedetto Vitale has nearly a decade of experience in sports journalism, with expertise in covering the NFL, NCAA Football, NBA, and UFC.
