Braves put several players on the injured list while the opening day appears

Atlanta, GA. (Atlanta News First) – Major League Baseball’s opening day is Thursday, and although the Atlanta Braves will probably be one of the best teams in baseball, they will deal with numerous injuries to the opening of the regular season.

The Braves on Tuesday placed the right-handed spencer Strider (right-wing elbow-easy reconstruction), the Outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (reconstruction of the left knee), the catcher Sean Murphy (broken left chest), infields after alvarez Jr. 15-day hiker-jimenz-jimmenz (left-wing card. List, retrospectively with all moves until March 24th.

All of these steps were expected because Acuna and Strider had recovered from their respective injuries in the spring and some others suffered injuries during the game of the Grapefruit league.

Acuna ends his rehab from an ACL tear in 2024 and is expected to return in the first half of May. He never took measures in the Grapefruit League game this spring, but repetitions in the back fields. He won the 2023 NL MVP Award after publishing the first 40-70 season in the history of Major League. In 2024, Acuna scored a Slash line of .250/.351/.365 with four Home Runs, 15 RBis and 16 stolen bases before rounding the bases on May 27.

On the other hand, Strider actually took part in Spring Ball, started two appearances and performed 10 strikes in four innings. He is not on the opening day and will probably take a place from AJ Smith-Shawver or Grant Holmes when he returns in mid-April. Strider went 20-5 with 281 strikes in 186.2 Innings in 2023 and took fourth place in the NL CY Young race this season. Strider only made two starts in 2024 before missing the rest of the season with his elbow injury.

Murphy went to the IL after suffering a cracked rib during the Grapefruit League game. At some point he was supposed to be back in the first half of April. At the moment the top prospect Drake Baldwin will be behind the court.

Jimenez was subjected to knee surgery at the beginning of the low season and will probably not return this season. In 2024, the right -hander achieved an ERA of 2.62 in 68.2 Innerings.

Alvarez took off early in the Grapefruit League game with a wrist injury and ended a game with his wrist at the end of February. Fast lead a month and he still has his wrist uncomfortable. Alvarez will probably not crack the Major League list when the season starts in the minor when he returns.

The Braves will appear on Thursday in Petco Park against the San Diego Padres at their start to the season. The first pitch is est.

Padres injury report

In San Diego, the Padres have a few remarkable players who will miss the start of the season.

Yu Darvish is the player who drops the most under the pile, since San Diego’s 108 million dollar -is missed the beginning of the 2024 campaign with elbow inflammation.

Darvish was closed on March 13th after his start and has played hooks twice since this start. The Padres did not give a timeline for his return, but manager Mike Shildt noticed: “We feel pretty comfortable that some calm and re -rolled up answer.”

After the signing of a six -year extension, the right -handed man achieved an average of 20 starts for San Diego. He will be 39 this summer.

The rest of the Padre injury report contains:

• RHP JHony Brito (right pain) – The expected return is TBD
• RHP Matt Waldron (sliced ​​trunk on the left) – The expected return is at the end of April or early May
• RHP Sean Reynolds (stress response in the right foot) – expected to return in May
• Hack RhP Bryan (right -school pain) – probably return in April or May
• RHP Joe Musgrove (Tommy John Operation) – out until 2026
