Braves activate pitcher Spencer Strider from IL, scheduled to pitch Tuesday vs. Nationals

Spencer Strider will rejoin the Atlanta Braves' starting rotation during the team's three-game series versus the Washington Nationals, which begins Tuesday. The team announced on Monday that he has been activated from the injured list and is scheduled to start the series opener, according to The Athletic's David O'Brien.

Strider, 26, is returning from a strained right hamstring sustained while throwing catch in mid-April. The right-hander had just returned from the injured list following his recovery from surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow a year ago.
