Let's put everything in regards to Strider ans his elbow in this thread, separate from any game threads. There is an unknown to the extent of the damage, but we know it's not good and TJS seems like it's inevitable. So, there's that.

Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

Hoping for an Ian Anderson or Huascar Ynoa redemption arc, but....starting catcher already hurt and one of our two aces down a week into the season...already feels like it's going to be one of those years.
So who is the best SP available at the deadline? Bieber is out for the year.
Here's something else, looking beyond this season. Charlie Morton is likely retiring and Max Fried is unlikely to return to the Braves. So looking at Opening Day next season, barring injury, the only one certain to be in the rotation from the current staff is Chris Sale.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Braves will win division easily. But worst part of this news is not getting to watch the best pitcher in the game all year

What's current recovery time for TJS?
Just need someone that can beat the Phillies in the playoffs
We should win the division regardless. Then its just about how good we are in October and thats months away. If Fried/Sale are healthy thats still a good top 2. Who knows where we are as a team then. Maybe Lopez steps up. They already seem to think AJSS is going to play a key role late in the year. Maybe he can breakout. I think people are writing off Anderson too early. I think much of his struggles before TJ surgery was because of the impending injury. Hopefully he can come back and be a quality starter.

Strider seems like a guy who could come back within a year, but with the timing he'd likely be delayed a little more without a full spring training. I wouldn't bet on him before next May/June, and that's assuming everything goes well.
