By Mitch Bannon Verified| MLB Verified TORONTO -- Back like he never left. Spencer Strider hadn’t toed a Major League mound in 376 days, his 2024 season ending after just two starts due to elbow surgery. As Strider finished rehab and a return drew near, anticipation built. Brief spring outings drew eyes and gaudy strikeout totals in Minor League games bred chatter. Finally, with a year away and a repaired ligament, Strider delivered on the hype -- and also his 500th career K -- in his 2025 season debut.
By Mitch Bannon Verified| MLB Verified TORONTO -- De vuelta como si nunca se hubiera ido. Spencer Strider no había subido a un montículo de Grandes Ligas en 376 días. Su temporada del 2024 terminó después de apenas dos aperturas debido a una lesión que derivó en una cirugía en el codo. A medida que se acercaba el regreso del derecho, la anticipación creció. Breves presentaciones primaverales atrajeron miradas y las llamativas cifras de ponches en juegos de rehabilitación generaron comentarios.
