Braves Spencer Strider Impresses in Rehab Start, Boosting Hopes for Return

Spencer Strider, a Braves pitcher on rehab, showcased his dominance in a minor league game, averaging 95.9 mph on his fastball and touching 98.1 mph. His slider was equally impressive, with ten whiffs on fifteen swings. This performance has sparked hope for his return after elbow surgery, as he previously led the majors in strikeouts from 2022 to 2023. Strider aims to throw about 80 pitches in his next outing, potentially this Sunday. Meanwhile, catcher Sean Murphy, also on rehab, went hitless in three at-bats but is nearing recovery from hip surgery and could rejoin the team within a week, providing much-needed depth to the Braves pitching staff.
