Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider was scratched ahead of his scheduled start against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday afternoon.

The Braves announced the move and told reporters that the decision is not injury-related for Strider (5-12, 4.97 ERA), who is expected to pitch in the team's upcoming series opener versus the Chicago Cubs.

Left-hander Joey Wentz (3-4, 3.88 ERA) will take the mound on Sunday.

Wentz, 27, owns an 8.22 ERA and a save in three relief appearances (one start) versus the Mariners.

Strider, 26, has lost four straight decisions and has not won since beating the host Kansas City Royals 10-7 on July 28.
