Strider (7-14) took the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Strider generated 15 whiffs on 85 pitches and entered the sixth inning locked in a pitcher's duel before allowing two runs in the frame. While 2025 was a disappointing campaign overall, the 26-year-old closed on a steadier note, allowing three earned runs or fewer in each of his final six starts. He'll finish the season with a 4.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 131:51 K:BB across 125.1 innings.

Strider (7-13) earned the win Sunday over the Tigers, allowing six hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Strider has won back-to-back starts while posting a 2.10 ERA over his last five outings (30 innings). The right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.45 with a 1.38 WHIP and 126:49 K:BB through 22 starts (119.1 innings) this season. Strider is tentatively lined up to face the Pirates at home his next time out.

Strider (6-13) earned the win Monday at Washington, yielding one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The Atlanta right-hander looked sharp in this 96-pitch outing, generating a solid 15 whiffs. Strider notched his first win since July 27 and pocketed his second consecutive quality start. The only blemish on his line was a solo homer conceded to Daylen Lile in the second. In 114.1 total innings, Strider has pitched to a 4.64 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 120:46 K:BB. He will look to continue his recent success in his next matchup, which currently lines up to come at Detroit this weekend.

Strider (5-13) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over six innings as Atlanta fell 6-1 to the Cubs. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

While he got outdueled by Chicago rookie Cade Horton, Strider looked a little more like his usual dominant self in this one. The Atlanta right-hander's eight Ks were his highest total since July 18, and he racked up 32 called or swinging strikes among his 97 pitches (60 total strikes). Strider's quality start was his ninth in 20 outings this season, and over his last three trips to the mound he sports a 3.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, albeit with a lackluster 12:8 K:BB in 18 innings. He'll look to build on this performance in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Nationals.

Strider isn't starting Sunday's game against the Mariners and will instead take the mound Tuesday against the Cubs, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta indicated that the decision isn't injury related, so it appears the organization is just looking to get Strider some extra rest during the final stretch of the season. It's been an underwhelming campaign for the right-hander, who missed a month early in the year due to a hamstring injury and has a 4.97 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 106:41 K:BB across 101.1 innings. Joey Wentz is moving up in the rotation to start Sunday's series finale versus Seattle.

Strider did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with a strikeout over five-plus innings against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Strider turned in a passable but underwhelming outing Monday, managing just one strikeout -- his lowest mark of the season. The right-hander has shown flashes of effectiveness but hasn't come close to regaining the dominance he displayed prior to injuring his right elbow early in 2024. Through 19 starts this season, the 26-year-old carries a 4.97 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 101.1 innings, with a 9.41 K/9 sitting well below his peak production.

Strider is set to receive an additional day of rest before his next start and isn't expected to return to the hill until Monday's game against the Cubs in Chicago, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After delivering seven innings of one-run ball in Atlanta's 2-1 loss to the Marlins on Monday, Strider had been lined to get his second start of the week this Sunday in Philadelphia. However, Atlanta is opting to have him swap spots in the pitching schedule with rookie Hurston Waldrep, who will take the hill Sunday on four days' rest after starting in Tuesday's 11-2 win over Miami. Strider may not be in line for any two-start weeks for the remainder of the season, as Atlanta plans to bring Chris Sale (ribcage) back from the injured list this weekend and move forward with a six-man rotation, even though the club will have every Thursday off in September.

Strider (5-12) took the loss Monday against the Marlins, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

It was a much-needed bounce-back showing by Strider, who had given up 20 runs over his prior three outings to Monday. It was the first time the hard-throwing right-hander threw at least seven frames since June 29 versus the Phillies, and he yielded fewer than two runs for the first time since July 18 against the Yankees. Strider still has work to do in order to improve his 4.95 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 96.1 innings, and he'll draw a stiff challenge in Philadelphia for his next scheduled outing.

Strider will no longer make a start this weekend against the Mets, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta has reconfigured its rotation and will have Joey Wentz, Cal Quantrill and Bryce Elder as the starting pitchers this weekend versus New York. Strider (5-11) last pitched Monday against the White Sox, and he allowed seven runs on 10 hits and one walk across three innings. Strider struck out just two Chicago hitters and was saddled with his 11th loss of the season. He's been shelled in August in particular, as opposing teams have a 1.442 OPS versus Strider this month. It's unclear if Strider is being pushed back to pitch next week against the Marlins or if his turn in the rotation is being skipped altogether.

Strider (5-11) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and one walk in three innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Strider has been out of sorts since he was scratched from his scheduled Aug. 2 appearance against the Reds due to rain. The right-hander has given up at least eight hits and five runs in all of his last three starts, and he's failed to throw at least five innings in each of those outings. Strider now has a ghastly 6.92 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB over his last 40.1 frames since the beginning of July, and he's shaping up as a risky fantasy option against a formidable Mets lineup this weekend.
