Bryce Elder

Bryce Elder gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite issuing four free passes, Elder turned in a solid line overall, posting his highest strikeout total of his last 11 starts. Elder, who was struggling going into the All-Star break, has pitched well over his last two starts, allowing only three earned runs on nine hits over 11 innings.

Bryce Elder allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over six-plus innings in Monday's 3-2 win against the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Elder might have been left in Monday's game just one batter too long, as he allowed a solo homer to begin the seventh inning. However, that didn't negate a much needed quality outing for the right-hander, as he exited with the Braves ahead. The bullpen hung on to the 3-3 lead, which evened up Elder's record at 6-6 through 19 starts. He'll go into Saturday's start at Baltimore carrying a 4.06 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 19.7 K% for the season.

Bryce Elder will start Monday's series opener against the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Bryce Elder allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in Thursday's 10-5 win against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Elder only gave up five hits in Thursday afternoon's start, but three of them left the yard. That's been the main issue for Elder lately, as he's surrendered multiple homers in three of his last four starts. During that span, Elder has posted an ugly 11.00 ERA with eight total long balls allowed across 18 innings. He was very good for a stretch out of the gate this season, but Elder is best left on waivers in fantasy leagues now.

Bryce Elder allowed five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Over his first 14 starts of the season, Elder posted an excellent 2.66 ERA and 1.05 WHIP while allowing just seven homers across 84 2/3 innings. Things have turned completely south for the right-hander since. Elder has surrendered at least five earned runs in each of his last three starts, limping to a 12.21 ERA while giving up five long balls in just 14 innings. Elder's GB% has fallen from 45.0 to 32.7 between the two time frames, and his K% has dropped from 20.8 to 16.4. Holding onto Elder in standard fantasy formats is a difficult ask right now.
