Spencer Strider On Track to Be Fully Ready for Spring Training

Atlanta Braves starter Spencer Strider is on track to be fully ready for the start of spring training and the regular season, according to president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos. Strider was limited to just eight outings in 2026 before being shelved in mid-June with right elbow inflammation. The right-hander previously posted a 4.45 ERA over his 2025 campaign following recovery from internal brace surgery.
