Spencer Strider Expected To Throw 90 Pitches In Thursday's Start
4 days agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider (elbow) is expected to get his pitch count up to around 90 in Thursday's rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett. The 26-year-old has looked dominant in two rehab starts to this point, racking up 14 strikeouts and yielding just two hits in eight and one-third innings pitched. Thursday's start is anticipated to be the final tune-up before the Braves activate him off the injured list for his 2025 MLB debut. Seemingly fully recovered from the internal brace procedure he underwent last year, fantasy managers should have confidence slotting the 2023 All-Star into their lineups. Assuming all goes well, his first start for the Braves could come against the Blue Jays in Toronto next week.
