The Braves, fresh off a three-game winning streak over the weekend, have some adversity to deal with.

Their ace, Spencer Strider, was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. The injury occured while Strider was plaing catch prior to Monday’s series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals at Truist Park.

The injury designation is retroactive to April 18.

Strider was slated to start on Tuesday night but that spot in the rotation is to be determined.

Strider, who tore his right UCL early last season was activated from the injured list, made his 2025 debut on April 16 at Toronto. He allowed two runs on five hits and tallied one walk with five strikeouts over five innings.

In a corresponding move, the team recalled right-handed pitcher Michael Petersen to fill the spot on the roster.
