Spencer Strider Dominates in High-A Rehab Start

Spencer Strider (oblique) looked sharp during his rehab start for High-A Rome on Thursday. He tossed 3.1 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out three. Reports indicate he appeared far too advanced for the level, effectively utilizing his slider to baffle hitters. The Braves are encouraged by his progress as he works his way back to the major league roster.
