Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that the club will proceed deliberately with Strider's (elbow) rehab and are not setting a timetable for the pitcher yet, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strider underwent an internal brace procedure in mid-April to address UCL damage in his pitching elbow. While the internal brace operation is less invasive than Tommy John surgery (which Strider had previously), the team will still be extra cautious about rushing the right-hander back too quickly. Anthopoulos indicated Friday that it's possible Strider is back by Opening Day, but it could also be as late as early June.
