Spencer Strider The brave game will begin in the Red Sox spring training game in Monday’s spring training game, an important step for Strider to recover from internal support surgery. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman (multiple links) digital Strider will play at least five games in the spring camp and minor league rehabilitation missions before officially returning to Atlanta’s rotation in the regular season, which could be about mid-April if everything goes well.
Just a few days ago, Feinsand suggested that Strider “maybe” to start a 30-day minor league rehabilitation mission, which seemed to beat MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand’s timeline to surface. Alex Anthopoulos, president of brave baseball business, says he has his ownGeneral ThoughtsAbout when to cross and Ronald Acuna Jr. Will be back from their long-term injuries, but the team has not given any fixed schedule.
“The fact that they are basically very active participants throughout the spring bodes a good sign. There is no date now, we are definitely in a shorter position, with more victory than Ronald,” said Anthopoulos.
If this rough schedule is scheduled, it will be on the shelf of internal support surgery on April 12, while Tommy John’s surgery usually takes 13-15 months to recover, but the internal support surgery schedule is slightly shorter, about 12-13 months. Since stent surgery remains a relatively new way to resolve UCL injuries, there is no standard recovery timeframe yet, and the obvious fact is that each pitcher’s arm is a unique entity that recovers at its own pace.
Still, it’s good news for Strider and his brave, who is working to return to the mound quickly. After making his debut in Major League Baseball (MLB), which debuted later in the 2021 season, Strider almost fully formed a former spinner in 2022 and completed two years of work before he acted with an UCL injury. Strider released a 2.67 ERA in 131 2/3 innings in 2022, and then obtained a 3.86 ERA in 186 2/3 frames in 2023. The latter season, the right hand led the NL in strikeouts (281), strikeouts outs (36.8%) and wins (20), while finishing fourth in the Cy Young Award award.
As Anthopoulos observed, Acuna was able to play baseball in the camp, although he did not expect he would play any actual matches before the end of the Grapefruit League schedule. Acuna should return to the game in a minor league rehabilitation mission in April, with an eye on being activated by the injured roster as early as mid-May. Acuna will start the season at Illinois State, but it seems he will be placed in a 10-day rather than 60-day period, which requires him to be eliminated until the last week of May.
For Acuna, that would make it less than a year, who tore his left ACL on May 26 last year. Acuna also tore his left ACL in mid-July 2021 and resumed operations by the end of April 2022, so it is no surprise that a second major knee injury would require longer recovery. Acuna also struggled with some knee aches throughout the 2022 campaign, which is reflected in performance (.266/.351/.413 and over 533 cricket appearances with 15 homers).
The best part is that Acuna is arguably the best player in baseball, as evidenced by his incredible MVP season in 2023. Backing back from an ACL tear for this yield suggests that Acuna can also recover from the latest damage, although Acuna can reasonably (like in 2022) return to form completely. Just because of the difficulty of ACL tears rebounding on both knees, it can also be speculated whether Acuna can return to the 2023 peak again.
