The Braves will be represented well at the All Star Game this upcoming week, but don’t expect Spencer Strider or Bryce Elder to pitch.
According to manager Brian Snitker, who met with the media prior to Saturday’s game in Tampa Bay, neither guy will pitch on Tuesday night. They will be in Seattle for all of the festivities, however.
Brian Snitker said definitively that Spencer Strider and Bryce Elder will not pitch in the All-Star Game.

Strider is starting Saturday night’s contest against the Rays and Elder is scheduled for Sunday, so both would have been on short rest.
