Strider's UCL Injury Dates Back to Clemson Career

The latest injury to a former Clemson star began brewing when he was a Tiger.

Atlanta Braves star Spencer Strider underwent a UCL bracing procedure that ended his 2024 season. It was initally feared that it was going to be a second Tommy John, but that wasn’t the case.

Actually, it was slightly better news because the ligament was intact according to 92,9 The Game’s Grant McAuley. Strider met with media to discuss the injury and detailed discomfort that started back in the spring.

Strider said he stayed away from the “apocalyptic thoughts” that it was going to result in a major procedure.
