The Atlanta Braves have placed right-hander Spencer Strider on the 15-day injured list with a strained right hamstring.
The team said Strider was injured while playing catch on Monday. The move is backdated to April 18.
Strider is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA and five strikeouts in one start this season. He's coming back from a lost 2024 in which he made just two starts before injuring the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and undergoing season-ending internal brace surgery.
He went 20-5 with a 3.86 ERA in 2023, finishing with a major league-best 281 strikeouts in 186u2154 innings and placing fourth in NL Cy Young Award voting.
