Strider Scratched; Waldrep Impresses at Speedway Classic
The Atlanta Braves' planned start for Spencer Strider against the Cincinnati Reds at the MLB Speedway Classic was derailed by extended rain delays, leading to Strider being scratched for precautionary reasons, though he is expected to return soon without major restrictions. In his place, Hurston Waldrep was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett and delivered an impressive 5⅔ innings of one-run pitching, earning praise but was optioned back to Gwinnett after the game. The rain delays caused logistical challenges for both teams and required the Reds to consider adjustments for their young starter Chase Burns. Despite the disruptions, the event at Bristol Motor Speedway drew record attendance and was marked by professionalism and resilience from players and coaches. The Braves' rotation remains unsettled, but Waldrep's strong showing and Strider's imminent return provide hope for improvement. Fans experienced a memorable atmosphere despite the weather's impact.
