"Strider was spotted at Truist Park on Saturday doing a throwing program ahead of his rehab start on Sunday with Gwinnett. The start went well and now the Braves are planning for Strider to make his return to the roster this weekend in Colorado against the Rockies."
"Murphy has been struggling a bit at the plate during his rehab stint. He did pick up three hits on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, but those were also the first three hits that he's collected so far on rehab after going 7 games and 19 plate appearances without a hit."
"The Braves are anticipating that Kim will need 'a couple of weeks' for a rehab assignment before they start to think about bringing him up. I personally wouldn't anticipate seeing Murphy until early-May and Ha-Seong Kim until mid-May."
"Iggy is reportedly back throwing again and his shoulder inflammation has 'subsided' so this should indeed just be a minimal IL stint for Atlanta's high-leverage reliever."

Murphy has struggled at the plate during his rehab, needing additional time before re-evaluation. Kim will require a couple of weeks for his rehab assignment.
