Atlanta's star pitcher, Spencer Strider, who led the major leagues in wins and strikeouts last season, is set to undergo tests on his right elbow following complaints of discomfort during Friday night's game. Strider's performance was subpar as he only lasted four innings, giving up five runs on seven hits while struggling with control, recording four strikeouts and issuing three walks in the Braves' 6-5 victory over Arizona in 10 innings.
Braves manager revealed that Strider had expressed concerns about his elbow during the game, indicating that he was uncomfortable with the way it felt. The discomfort seemed to persist throughout the game, with Strider informing the team after his departure from the mound.
