Braves Hopeful as Strider Near Return and Several Injuries Move Forward

Braves manager Walt Weiss provided a slew of injury updates: Spencer Strider is slated to return this weekend after a successful rehab start with Gwinnett; Sean Murphy needs about 4–5 more rehab days; Ha-Seong Kim should require a couple weeks for a rehab stint before a potential call-up; Raisel Iglesias is throwing again as his shoulder inflammation subsides; Hurston Waldrep is set for a bullpen session with a June timeline for game action; Spencer Schwellenbach remains out with a return after the All-Star Break; overall, the team is getting healthier and Strider’s return should bolster a hot rotation.
