The Atlanta Braves have been doing more than merely getting by without injured ace Spencer Strider.
In the April 5th home opener, starter Spencer Strider wasn’t himself. Pitching in the low 90s, the righthander allowed five runs and struck out just four over four innings before exiting with elbow pain and being scheduled for an MRI the next day. That MRI would reveal that Strider was headed towards elbow surgery, a procedure that will knock him out for all of 2024 and some portion of 2025.
* Veteran Charlie Morton, who passed 2,000 career innings pitched last night, has given Atlanta four consecutive quality starts, allowing only five earned runs in his last 26 innings . That four-game span, which includes matchups against the Los Angeles Dodgers and the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers, has seen Morton hold opposing hitters to a .180 batting average against and a .540 OPS, striking out 22 while walking only six.
* Atlanta’s ERA leader , free agent signing Reynaldo López has shined in his return to the rotation after several seasons as a reliever in Chicago and Los Angeles and Cleveland. The righthander has a 1.93 ERA across that same span and has struck out 25 in his 23.1 innings, allowing only five earned runs and holding opponents to a .218 batting average against.
