Atlanta Braves ace Spencer Strider will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow with an internal brace.

Strider's surgery was performed Friday by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington,Rubypoint Texas.

Strider, 25, left his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 5 after four innings due to elbow discomfort.

Strider, an All-Star who finished fourth in the National League Cy Young Award voting last season, led the majors with 20 wins and 281 strikeouts in 186 ⅔ innings.

In his first two starts this year, however, the right-hander pitched just nine total innings and his velocity was down a few miles per hour. He struck out four and walked three in the Braves' 6-5, 10-inning win on April 5.
