ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider threw a five-inning simulated game prior to Wednesday’s game against the Washington Nationals. Strider threw more than 60 pitches and his fastball was in the mid-to-low 90s -- reaching up to 95 mph -- throughout the outing. But the low velocity (by Strider’s standards) wasn’t a concern, pitching coach Rick Kranitz said. The attention was geared more toward the action and life on the pitches rather than velocity.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and right-hander Spencer Strider are ever-so close to returning from their respective injuries. Acuña is set to begin a rehab assignment at the Florida Complex Rookie League in North Port on Tuesday. Acuña will play outfield and be monitored for a potential transfer to either Double-A Columbus or Triple-A Gwinnett before his return to the big leagues, but there’s no timetable for when that’ll be just yet.
