Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that there's "nothing definitive" on Strider's inflamed right elbow, adding that the 27-year-old is scheduled to be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister at some point this week, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Strider has familiarity with Dr. Meister, who performed his UCL brace procedure in 2024, per Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal. With that in mind, Strider's upcoming appointment is noteworthy, even though Atlanta has yet to provide any specifics beyond the initial diagnosis. The right-hander landed on the injured list Saturday after exiting his start Friday against the Mets, and his outlook will remain up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.
