The Atlanta Braves had misfortune with injuries in 2024, losing star players like Spencer Strider, Ronald Acuña Jr., and, what’s more, numerous others at different points in the season. This is a pattern that the club will expect to see reversed in 2025, trusting they can remain good for most of the campaign.

As per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Strider—restricted to two starts in 2024—is supposed to be accessible the majority of the season.

“Strider has been completing bullpen sessions and might be allowed to throw in no less than one game before the end of spring training,” Bowman composed. “In the event that he has no misfortunes in his recovery from elbow surgery, he could rejoin Atlanta’s turn toward April’s ending. His advancement all through camp will make a ton of excitement.”

Since making his debut for the Braves in 2021, Strider has shown up in 67 games, starting 54 of them. He has pitched 329.2 innings, turning in a 3.47 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. He has struck out 495 batters while just walking 109. Sriders’ 2022 campaign was awesome of his career in such a long way as he completed the year 11-5 with a 2.67 ERA.

The Braves will expect to fulfill a healthy 2025 campaign and make one more run at the World Series.

What is the status of Braves Ronald Acuña Jr.?

With things apparently headed in the right direction for the arrival of Spencer Strider, things have not been as brilliant for Ronald Acūna Jr.; however, he is as yet set to return easily in 2025.

MLB.com’s Mark Bowman expounded on Acuña’s status with spring training set to start soon.

“The equivalent can be said about Acuña, who tore his right ACL close to the end of May,” Bowman composed. “There’s an opportunity; he won’t return before the half of May. Does he want an entire year to recover? Indeed, recall that he tore his left ACL in July 2021 and returned toward the end of April 2022. The 2023 NL MVP fought distress all through that season. So it will not be amazing to see the Braves give their right fielder additional opportunity to guarantee he will not have any waiting issues after he returns. Notwithstanding, there will be a ton of consideration put on him as he expects to regain his place as a top MVP candidate.”

The Braves open their spring training slate on Feb. 22, taking on the Minnesota Twins. They open the season on the road, taking on the San Diego Padres on March 27.
