Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that there's "nothing definitive" on Strider's inflamed right elbow, and he's scheduled to be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister at some point this week, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Strider has some familiarity with Meister, who performed his UCL brace procedure in 2024, per Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal, so this is a concerning development even though Atlanta has yet to provide any injury specifics beyond the initial diagnosis. The right-hander's outlook will remain up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.

Braves Injury Report
Braves Depth Chart
Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that there's "nothing definitive" on Strider's inflamed right elbow, and he's scheduled to be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister at some point this week, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Strider has some familiarity with Meister, who performed his UCL brace procedure in 2024, per Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal, so this is a concerning development even though Atlanta has yet to provide any injury specifics beyond the initial diagnosis. The right-hander's outlook will remain up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.
Mateo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. With Freddy Peralta on the bump for New York, Mateo will head to the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher after managing just two hits in 14 at-bats with a 1:6 BB:K through the first seven games in June. Atlanta should still be able to find room for the right-handed hitter in the lineup against lefties, but Mauricio Dubon and Ha-Seong Kim look to be prioritized ahead of Mateo at shortstop.
White went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and two total RBI in a 3-1 win against the Mets on Saturday. White produced all three of Atlanta's extra-base hits in the victory and was responsible for all but one of the team's runs. He began the scoring with an RBI double in the second inning and added a solo blast to left field in the fourth. Saturday marked White's second start in four games since Ronald Acuna (hamstring) landed on the IL. Both of those starts have come against left-handed hurlers, while Mike Yastrzemski has started the two games in which Atlanta has faced a righty.
Iglesias notched a save against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out one batter over one scoreless inning. It wasn't exactly an easy outing for Iglesias, who entered in the ninth inning with Atlanta up by two runs. The veteran closer allowed a leadoff double to Juan Soto and then put the tying run on base when he walked Marcus Semien with one out, but Iglesias was able to escape unscathed by getting Francisco Alvarez to ground into a double play. That allowed Iglesias to remain perfect in save chances with a 14-for-14 mark on the season. He's gone 9-for-9 while racking up a 16:4 K:BB over 14.2 frames since returning from a stint on the injured list May 5.
Perez (5-3) earned the win over the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings. Perez got through five scoreless frames before exiting with a runner on second base and one out in the sixth. That runner came around to score following the lefty's departure, but that didn't prevent Perez from finishing with the win. The veteran hurler has completed six innings just once over 14 appearances (10 starts) this season, though he's put together a very solid 2.90 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB through 62 innings. Perez's place in the rotation has become even more important with Spencer Strider (elbow) landing on the injured list Saturday, and the former lines up to next take the mound at home against Milwaukee.
Ritchie gave up two hits and two walks over five scoreless relief innings in Friday's loss to the Mets. He struck out five. The rookie right-hander finished out the game after Spencer Strider (forearm) was pulled following a leadoff walk to MJ Melendez in the bottom of the fourth inning while showing greatly diminished velocity. Strider has already been placed on the IL and is being sent for an MRI on Saturday, and Ritchie's impressive relief performance over 73 pitches (42 strikes) makes him the logical candidate to move into the rotation. Over 30.2 innings in the majors this season, Ritchie has a 3.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 26:18 K:BB.
Olson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Mets. The first baseman took Cionel Perez deep in the fifth inning, Olson's third homer in the last three games and his 20th of the season -- tying him for fourth in MLB behind Yordan Alvarez (24), Kyle Schwarber (24) and Byron Buxton (21). Through nine games to begin June, Olson's batting .333 (12-for-36) with four home runs, six RBI and nine runs.
Atlanta recalled Molina from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. Molina will return to the majors to give Atlanta's bullpen some extra depth as Spencer Strider (elbow) moves to the injured list. Molina pitched two shutout innings during his lone appearance with the big club May 1 but still carries a 6.82 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across his MLB career.
