Summary
- Spencer Strider placed on 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation.
- Strider exited Friday's game with soreness after surrendering seven runs.
- This is another setback following prior elbow surgery and oblique strain.
Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday, June 14, 2026, due to elbow inflammation. The 27-year-old pitcher had exited Friday's game against the New York Mets in the fourth inning, reporting soreness in his elbow.
During his outing, Strider allowed seven runs on six hits, including three home runs, over three-plus innings. He is now 4-2 with a 5.31 ERA this season, having recorded 46 strikeouts against 20 walks and nine home runs in 39 innings pitched.
This latest injury adds to Strider's recent struggles, which include missing significant time in 2024 due to season-ending elbow surgery and starting the current season on the injured list with a left oblique strain. In a corresponding move, the Braves recalled pitcher Anthony Molina from Triple-A Gwinnett.
