Spencer Strider Ordered to Four-Week Throwing Shutdown

Braves pitcher Spencer Strider has been ordered to a four-week throwing shutdown after an MRI confirmed elbow inflammation but no structural ligament damage. Strider, who previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019 and an internal brace procedure in 2024, remains on the 15-day injured list. If a follow-up scan is clear after four weeks, he will be permitted to resume throwing.
