Spencer Strider will begin the 2026 season on the injured list due to an oblique strain, marking another setback in his career, as confirmed by Braves manager Walt Weiss. Despite a strong start to spring training with two wins and a 3.24 ERA, Strider’s injury adds to the Braves’ rotation woes, with other pitchers also sidelined. Weiss hopes Strider can return in weeks, but the team’s early season hopes are dimmed by multiple injuries, including those to key players like Ha-Seong Kim and Jurickson Profar. The Braves, who recently hired Weiss after a disappointing 2025 season, are already facing challenges in their quest to rebound.
