Strider has been scratched from his start in Saturday's matchup with the Cincinnati at the MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tenn. due to the game being delayed over an hour by inclement weather,
Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
AnalysisStrider had already completed most or all of his warmup before the delay was announced, per
Mark Bowman of MLB.com, so Atlanta is opting to go to a bullpen game rather than risking an injury to the star hurler. Atlanta is off Sunday, so Strider's next start likely won't come until at least Monday against Milwaukee. It's not yet clear which reliever will start Saturday for Atlanta if the game takes place.
