Jeff Francoeur joined The Fan to discuss the latest injury concerns surrounding Spencer Strider and what his recovery timeline could mean for the Braves heading into the postseason. Frenchy explains why Strider’s latest setback is troubling, how Atlanta may need to approach the trade deadline more aggressively, and why easing him back into the rotation won’t be a simple decision. He also weighs in on Austin Riley’s continued struggles at the plate, whether the Braves should keep running him out there every day, and why Atlanta is still in a position to be patient despite needing more production from one of its biggest bats.
