The Braves are the 2nd worse team in MLB with runners in scoring position, and even though there are signs of power, they will have to start scoring runs if they want to dig themselves out of hole they have created in the early part of the season.

Signs are pointing to Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider making his season debut on Wednesday. That’s the plan, for now, according to Braves manager Brian Snitker. A corresponding move is gonna have to be made.

Right-hander Spencer Strider struck out 13 batters in 5 ⅓ innings in his latest minor-league rehab start with the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers last Thursday. Strider allowed one run and threw 90 pitches in a 6-1 win over the Norfolk Tides (Baltimore Orioles).
