Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider's next rehab start has been scheduled. According to the Braves’ Triple-A affiliate, the Gwinnett Stripers, Strider will be on the mound for Friday’s game against the Nashville Sounds.

If Spencer Strider’s performance in his third rehab start had to be ranked, it would probably land somewhere between the utter dominance of his Grapefruit League debut and the grit of his second outing.

All eyes have been on Strider this spring as he rehabilitates his injured elbow. Last April, he opted to insert a brace into his elbow to stabilize his ulnar collateral ligament instead of having Tommy John surgery. Atlanta hopes to have him back in the Major League rotation in mid-April.
