Braves: Tommy John, Ozzie Albies, and Spencer Strider all have serious injuries.
Three All-Stars that the Braves now lack are revealed to have received good news over the weekend.
Despite the possibility that Spencer Strider would miss the full season, they anticipate a speedier recovery from internal brace surgery as opposed to the far more usual Tommy John surgery.
Strider’s ripped UCL’s underlying cause was also identified. Many just want to point the finger at velocity for behaving like a ticking time bomb, but in reality, his UCL was interrupted by a bone fragment, which is what finally caused the ligament to break.
Strider still has a long way to go before fully recovering, but it’s good to know why the injury happened in the first place.
After breaking his right big toe last week, Ozzie Albies is likewise healing well. He’s already performing certain on-field tasks and walking without a boot. It sounds like his comeback might happen within a week or two.
Murphy has started to toss, therefore his activities are also advancing. He is not yet swinging, and oblique injuries are difficult to treat, as I have mentioned. Murphy is probably still a few weeks away, but it’s still progress—the Braves would hate to push him back too soon.
The Braves don’t appear to be rattled by missing three All-Stars this early in the season.With four home runs in two games against the Rangers, Travis d’Arnaud is coming off one of his greatest weekends ever.
In Albies’ stead, Luis Guillorme has also experienced some pivotal moments and has excelled at second base with the glove. That speaks much about the Braves roster’s depth, which is unparalleled.
