Spencer Strider to Open on IL After Braves Lose Ace to Oblique Strain

Strider will open the season on the injured list with an oblique strain, giving Atlanta an early blow in the rotation. The Braves hope he misses only a couple weeks, though such injuries can be unpredictable. In 2025, Strider went 7-14 with a 4.45 ERA, 131 strikeouts and a 1.40 WHIP across 125.1 innings for Atlanta.
