A scheduled mri on a pitcher's elbow is always a serious concern. I don't think that's insider info
What do we think is behind this uptick in injured arms? Sticky stuff ban? Pitch clock? Like that one team physician was talking about in The Athletic with the advent of pitches like the sweeper and power change? Something else?
They will announce he needs a couple of months of rest. But that won't work and will need TJ anyway and be ready at the start of 2026.

They say they’re considering amputation for Strider. Wow.
Acuña rubbing off on him.
Increased velocities as well as the increase in throwing of breaking balls specifically the slider. To throw faster you have to have increased stress on the elbow tendon. Its like a rubber band, if you pull it further its going to break sooner.

Max effort is behind virtually all arm injuries. It’s a violent, unnatural movement for the human body to perform and the current move toward shorter and faster is poison for pitchers.

Combination of things but I think the biggest thing that we've seen over the last decade is that the change in hitters' approach/instruction and the improvement in hitters' physical strength has put increasing reliance on guys to overthrow because just about anything below 95 is going to get tattooed. It's just guys--especially relatively smaller guys of which Strider is one--pushing their limits with high-effort deliveries and putting inordinate amount of stress on their arms.
EDIT: Gov, it looks like we were having basically the same thought at the same time.
How much more than normal throwing in the offseason does it require to add a pitch?
On a positive note how about the start by Arcia. Averaging 0.1 WAR per game through 6 games. Leading the team at 0.6 WAR. Fangraphs showing 1.4 defensie WAR or whatever that would be called. He was at 8.3 for the whole season last year so thats significantly better pace than last year so far. MVP of our season so far imo.

Braves will provide an update on Strider at 4 pm. If they’re announcing a time to meet with the press, that means it’s bad.
I said if we know pregame, it would be good, but yeah, this seems like bad news
Now 4:20

I feel like as America's team, we should open our arms to Trevor Bauer. As the Statue of Liberty says give us your troubled douches with terrible personal lives... esp if they throw really hard. It's time to do the American thing...
Changed it to 4:20, presumably to give Brave fan potheads a chance to inhale when they hear the bad news.
Not expecting good news at all with this. If it's not season ending, i'd consider that a W, but expecting it to be.
Why so he an go on the IL like a month later?
I'll chip in $20 towards his salary
Get off my lawn!
Bauer will probably personally call the Braves. Ha
I don’t see it happening
