May 23—It seems like every year the Atlanta Braves have some disastrous injury to one of their star pitchers. In 2024, it's Spencer Strider.
Strider suffered a season-ending injury and recently underwent surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, his throwing elbow.
This leaves a superstar-sized hole in the Braves' rotation.
Many experts are pointing to external options for the Braves, but many are also looking toward the minors, specifically a young man from Thomasville who is currently lighting it up in Pearl, Mississippi, with the Braves' AA affiliate.
