US EditionWith Strider Returning Next Week, Braves Make Anticipated Roster Decision
- The Atlanta Braves will reinstate right-hander Spencer Strider to their starting rotation when they play at Washington next week.
- Strider’s return comes after a hamstring strain interrupted his recovery process, which began following a procedure involving an internal brace to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, completed on April 12, 2024.
- Since his April 29 recall, 22-year-old right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver has excelled with a 3-2 record, a 2.33 ERA, and one earned run allowed over 19 2/3 innings.
- Manager Brian Snitker praised Smith-Shawver’s recent start with six strikeouts and said, “Those decisions are always tough” regarding rotation management.
- With Strider returning and Smith-Shawver stepping up, the Braves now have more starting pitchers than available rotation spots, creating uncertainty about how the team will adjust as players recover from injuries.
