Spencer Strider is back on the mound for the Atlanta Braves and already looks as dominant as he was before his injury.
After making just two starts in the 2024 season before having to miss the remainder of the campaign with a damaged ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, Strider is back on the mound. The 26-year-old hurler opted to undergo internal brace surgery rather than the usual Tommy John surgery that often comes with injured UCLs, and it seems to have been the right decision for him with a return to the mound less than a year later.
