Strider appears to be getting closer and closer to making his return to the Braves Earlier this week, the Atlanta Braves moved Spencer Strider to the 15-day IL, with the move being purely procedural as it was already known that he wouldn’t be starting the season on the Opening Day roster. This is despite the fact that Strider ended up making two starts at the tail end of spring training, both with varying amounts of success.
We now know when Spencer Strider will be making his next start and it’ll be part of a rehab assignment with the Gwinnett Stripers. The Stripers announced this afternoon that Strider will be starting on Saturday on the road against the Charlotte Knights.
Obviously, this is great news for the Braves since we have further tangible evidence that we’re not too far away from Spencer Strider returning to Atlanta’s rotation. With that being said, this is actually unfamiliar territory for the flamethrowing hurler out of Clemson as this rehab start will one be the second Triple-A appearance for him. With that being said, I’d imagine that there won’t be too many pregame jitters once Strider takes the mound in Charlotte.
The game will take place this Saturday at 6:05 p.m. ET, which will be around an hour before first pitch of the third game of the Braves-Padres series in San Diego. They’ll be carrying the game on Bally Sports Live (yes, that’s still a thing, apparently) and you can listen on MyCountry993.com if you want to go the old-school route, as well. This seems like a very convenient chance to get a look at Strider before you see his teammates in Atlanta take the field at Petco Park. Still, the most important part is that Spencer Strider is starting to get really close to coming back and I know we’re all very excited to see what he’s got in store upon making his return.
