So the Braves placed him on the 15 Day IL. A formality more than anything, he will surely be transferred to the 60 day IL. It is officially announced by the team as a UCL sprain. Given that it’s a sprain and not full on tear does this bode well for a possibly return this year or is a sprain just as bad as a full on tear? Sounds to me similar to what Gerrit Cole is going through who’s currently on the 60 Day IL due to elbow inflammation. Strider was still hitting 95-96, so as someone with little insight into the procedure I’m curious if that is typical? Do some guys just gut it out and those that ignore it keep throwing with velo till the UCL pops? I’ll hang up and listen.
Might try to buy him at a discount and stash him in fantasy if he may return this year.
