Anthopoulos stated previously that Strider may not be able to make his season debut until June. The Braves will likely be able to provide a clearer timeline at the start of spring training.

Spencer Strider said he is hoping to return early on next season.

Strider did not have to undergo Tommy John surgery. He said his elbow ligament was in “surprisingly good” shape during the procedure.

Spencer Strider will miss the remainder of the 2024 season after undergoing surgery to repair his UCL in his right elbow with internal brace.

Fantasy Impact

This is a massive blow for the Braves and fantasy managers. The good news for Strider is he avoided another Tommy John surgery, but will still miss the remainder of the season. Strider will now turn his focus towards rehab and being ready for the 2025 season.

Spencer Strider underwent an MRI Saturday that revealed damage to his UCL.

Strider is set to be further evaluated, but no date has been determined yet. Fantasy managers should expect Strider to definitely miss some time and potentially the rest of the season if he requires Tommy John surgery.
