Zack Wheeler's Comeback Looms as Brent Rooker's Injury Raises New Questions for MLB Teams

Spencer Strider (oblique)

Strider, rehabbing from an oblique strain, threw three innings against live hitters during a batting practice session on Saturday and reportedly reached 95 mph on the radar gun. The next step would be a rehab assignment starting later this week. Strider will need to get fully ramped up before joining the Braves, likely sometime in early May. The velocity would be right in line with where he was last season, but still much lower than the 97 mph he averaged at his best. Despite prospects Didier Fuentes and J.R. Ritchie pitching well in Triple-A, the team doesn’t seem rushed to bring them up, instead opting for a four-man rotation for at least the next week.
