Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that there's "nothing definitive" on Strider's inflamed right elbow, and he's scheduled to be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister at some point this week, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Strider has some familiarity with Meister, who performed his UCL brace procedure in 2024, per Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal, so this is a concerning development even though Atlanta has yet to provide any injury specifics beyond the initial diagnosis. The right-hander landed on the injured list Saturday after exiting Friday's start against the Mets, and his outlook will remain up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.
