The Atlanta Braves<\/a> placed starting pitcher Spencer Strider<\/a> on the 15-day injured list on Saturday after imaging revealed inflammation in his right elbow.<\/p>\n

Strider departed midway through Friday night\u2019s game against the New York Mets<\/a> with right shoulder and elbow soreness. He left one batter into the fourth after allowing six hits and a season-worst seven earned runs in three innings, including three home runs in the loss, and a noticeable drop in his velocity later in his outing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alarm bells went off when we started seeing the upper 80s with his fastball,\u201d Braves manager Walt Weiss said after Friday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Atlanta recalled righty Anthony Molina<\/a> to take Strider\u2019s place on the roster.<\/p>\n

Strider had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2019 and had the UCL in his right elbow repaired with an internal brace in April 2024.<\/p>\n

Weiss said Strider let them know of the elbow and shoulder discomfort and that he wasn\u2019t aware of the reduced velocity. Strider walked off the mound after a short consultation.<\/p>\n

Strider was making his eighth start of the season for the MLB-leading Braves after missing the first 34 games recovering from a strained left oblique. He is 4-2 with a 5.31 ERA this season and 11-16 with a 4.66 ERA since returning from the elbow surgery last year.<\/p>\n

Strider was 32-10 with a 3.47 ERA in his first 67 big league appearances prior to the internal brace procedure. He became baseball\u2019s most recent 20-game winner in 2023, when he went 20-5 while reaching 200 strikeouts in 130 innings — the fastest any pitcher has ever gotten to 200 whiffs in season.<\/p>\n
