Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider delivers in the first inning of baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday, April 5, 2024, in Atlanta. MIAMI — Atlanta Braves ace Spencer Strider will miss the rest of the season after having surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, the team said Saturday.
“You never expect these things to be good or just a blip on the screen,” manager Brian Snitker said last week.The club’s first attempt at finding someone to fill Strider’s spot in the rotation went poorly. Right-hander Allan Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett last Sunday after Strider went on the 15-day injured list.
The 25-year-old Strider joins a list of big-named pitchers who have suffered significant injuries this season. “I hate it. I want to see the stars, the best players play,” Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. “I think just as a baseball fan, I’ll always be a baseball fan. My son is 16 and is a baseball fan. My daughter is 14, and she’s a baseball fan. She comes to the games to watch the best players compete against each other. So we have to figure this out as an industry, as an organization, the whole deal.
