Injuries and inconsistent play have cost the Braves, but they have clawed their way back to a 19-20 record and are a win away from being back to .500.<\/p>\n<p>They have done that for most of the season without their best pitcher, Spencer Strider. The Atlanta ace missed the start of the season after recovering from Tommy John surgery to repair an elbow injury, but he made just one start before going back on the injured list. Shortly after an April 16 outing against the Toronto Blue Jays, Strider strained his hamstring and went on the 15-day injured list.<\/p>\n<p>Strider can be activated this week, but the Braves are still deciding whether to have him come back or whether to have him test it out in the minor leagues.<\/p>\n<p>Strider still thinks that he can go out there and make an impact right now, via Mark Bowman of MLB.com.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Atlanta Braves NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI feel good to go, but admittedly, I haven\u2019t pitched in three weeks,\u201d Strider said, per Bowman. \u201cSo, I won\u2019t be shocked if they don\u2019t feel comfortable running me out there. I\u2019ve made my availability known. Beyond that, it\u2019s up to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strider looked solid, though understandably rusty, in his first start against Toronto. He went five innings in that one, giving up just a pair of earned runs on five hits while throwing 97 pitches.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a talent like Strider back into the Atlanta rotation will make them very formidable, even in a very good National League East that includes a pair of World Series contenders in the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. While the Braves start to find their footing as they get into the heart of their season, they are also getting healthier and will have one of the most talented rosters in the league the rest of the way if healthy.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Braves are close to getting pitcher Spencer Strider back on the mound as he recovers from a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":54586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[71,44,694,741],"class_list":["post-54585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-injury","tag-spencer-strider"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
