Mandatory Credit: Jordan Godfree-Imagn Images The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Spencer Strider on the 15-day injured list Saturday with elbow inflammation.
Strider, 27, exited in the fourth inning of Friday's 7-5 loss to the host New York Mets after experiencing soreness.
The former All-Star and 20-game winner surrendered seven runs on six hits (three homers) in three-plus innings.
Strider is 4-2 with a 5.31 ERA through eight starts this season. He has struck out 46 batters, walked 20 and given up nine home runs in 39 innings.
It is the latest setback for Strider since his All-Star campaign in 2023. He made only two starts in 2024 before season-ending elbow surgery, and he began this season on the injured list with a left oblique strain.
The Braves recalled right-hander Anthony Molina from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Molina, 24, made one appearance earlier this season with Atlanta, tossing two hitless innings in an 8-6 win at Colorado on May 1.
