The Atlanta Braves pitchers and catchers officially report for spring training on Thursday, February 15. The position players will report on Tuesday, February 20.

Very excited to see what Jared Kelenic can do. Former top prospect who has struggled in his early career. He wont be asked to do much for us but still has lots of potential.

I trust Seitzer to help Jared cut down on the Ks. If he does that, it's a win for the Bravos.

Ronald Acuña Jr. was examined last night. They recommend an MRI. It showed irritation in the right meniscus. Plan now is to see a doctor in LA. Braves expect him to be ready for opening day.

Ronald Acuña Jr. approached us today leaning on his bat as if it were a cane and then cracked a big smile and started walking normally. He feels fine and wishes he could play today. pic.twitter.com/e5H3vs9S8V

Good to hear on Acuna. Was holding my breath a bit there.

With presumably 1 start left, Spencer Strider has thrown 18 2/3 innings this spring + has yet to allow a run

only 2 pitchers since at least 2006 have gone an entire spring without allowing a run AND thrown at least that many IP:

2018 Kershaw: 21 1/3 IP

Spencer Strider's ERA this spring: 0.00.

He did not allow a run not even an unearned run over 21 2/3 innings. He struck out 34 batters.

Strider to undergo MRI after abbreviated 4-inning outing

Braves starter exits home opener, informs medical staff of right elbow discomfort

https://www.mlb.com/news/spencer-strider-elbow-mri

Braves announce RHP Spencer Strider underwent an MRI that revealed damage to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

no bueno

Basically, Strider visited Dr. Meister in Dallas yesterday. The Braves aren't revealing what was said before this weekend. So instead of saying today that he's going to have TJ surgery, they might just wait a few more days to confirm he had surgery

Snit said the Braves won't release any Strider info until this weekend. But Snit yesterday's visit with Dr. Meister didn't erase the possibility of Tommy John surgery. Braves might be waiting for the surgery to be completed before providing an update.

Strider to miss rest of 2024 season after UCL procedure

https://www.mlb.com/braves/news/spencer-strider-elbow-injury

Braves should be ok. I think the staff is better this year, even with Strider out. Offense should take off once Acuña gets going. It's a long season.

The Braves look for their eighth win streak of 7+ games since the start of the 2022 season

No other team has more than six such winning streaks during that span (Dodgers)
