Braves: The Braves reinstated right-handed pitcher Spencer Strider from the injured list on Monday. Strider, a former strikeouts leader in 2023, has made only one start this season because of a right hamstring injury that occurred during a warm-up session in mid-April. Strider’s next start will be just his fourth since the beginning of the 2024 season. He was limited to two starts in 2024 by elbow surgery to repair a UCL injury. He made his first start in a year on April 16, a 3-1 road loss against the Blue Jays, before hurting his hamstring. He pitched a simulated game last week, after which he said he felt ready to return. The Braves were off on Monday and next play on Tuesday against the Nationals in Washington. ...
