Overview

  • The right-hander logged 3 1/3 scoreless innings for High-A Rome on Thursday, striking out three on 50 pitches with a 95–97 mph fastball.
  • Atlanta has not set a return date and plans to build his workload through short, pitch-limited outings.
  • Strider said his goal in these starts is to reach the assigned pitch count and rebuild stamina.
  • The Braves also adjusted the roster by selecting Ian Hamilton, designating Osvaldo Bido for assignment, and optioning Hayden Harris to Triple-A.
  • The measured approach follows an oblique injury and recent stop-start seasons, and it aligns with a first-place club that can wait for a fully ready ace.
