Transferred to 60-day IL
Atlanta transferred Strider (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Análisis
Strider landed on the 15-day IL on June 13 with right elbow inflammation, and it was later deemed that he would be shut down for at least four weeks. Although the 27-year-old avoided any structural damage to his elbow, Atlanta made the decision to transfer him to the 60-day IL in order to make room on the 40-man roster for Carlos Carrasco. Strider has only appeared in eight games this season for Atlanta after having the start of his campaign delayed due to an oblique injury that sidelined him until May 3.

Facing four-week shutdown period
Atlanta announced that Strider (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for four weeks following a consultation Monday with Dr. Keith Meister.
Análisis
After he was forced out of his start Friday against the Mets, Strider was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation and landed on the injured list a day later. While an MRI cleared him of any structural damage, he'll still need a prolonged period of rest for the inflammation to calm down. Strider will be scheduled to undergo a follow-up MRI in mid-July, and if his scan is clear at that time, he'll be able to begin a throwing progression around the All-Star break. Even if his recovery from the elbow injury goes smoothly, Strider looks unlikely to join the Atlanta rotation until late August in a best-case scenario, which could make it tough to justify holding him in most redraft leagues.

Avoids ligament damage to elbow
An MRI on Strider's right elbow revealed no ligament damage, and he'll meet with Dr. Keith Meister later Monday before a timeline for his return from the 15-day injured list is established, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Análisis
The MRI result comes as welcome news, as Strider looks set to avoid another operation on his elbow after requiring Tommy John surgery while in college in 2019 and an internal brace surgery in April 2024. Dr. Meister -- who performed the latter procedure -- will review the MRI results before providing Strider with a road map for his next steps in his recovery from elbow inflammation. Atlanta is expected to have another update on the right-hander's status Tuesday, and a potential timetable for his return from the 15-day injured list could also be provided at that point.

Still being evaluated
Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that there's "nothing definitive" on Strider's inflamed right elbow, adding that the 27-year-old is scheduled to be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister at some point this week, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Análisis
Strider has familiarity with Dr. Meister, who performed his UCL brace procedure in 2024, per Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal. With that in mind, Strider's upcoming appointment is noteworthy, even though Atlanta has yet to provide any specifics beyond the initial diagnosis. The right-hander landed on the injured list Saturday after exiting his start Friday against the Mets, and his outlook will remain up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.

Lands on IL
Atlanta placed Strider on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation.
Análisis
Strider was forced to make an early exit from his start Friday due to arm soreness, and although he's now been confirmed to be dealing with an elbow injury, it remains unknown whether his inflammation is the result of a structural issue. He'll sit out for at least a couple of weeks, and a more accurate return timeline should come out once the team determines the severity of his injury. In the meantime, Anthony Molina will come up from Triple-A Gwinnett to give Atlanta some extra bullpen depth until a fifth starter is needed.

Exits with trainer
Strider was removed from Friday's game against the Mets due to right arm soreness.
Análisis
Strider gave up six runs across the first two innings of the game and was displaying diminished velocity at the start of the fourth, prompting Atlanta's training staff to take him out of the game. It remains unknown what exactly the 27-year-old righty is dealing with, but the team should provide some clarity in the near future.
