Fantasy Impact

Elder underwent surgery that will require him to miss the rest of the regular season. He remains hopeful to return for the postseason.

Bryce Elder (knee) will be out for at least three weeks after undergoing surgery.

It was announced recently that Elder, who has not pitched since August 31, would be temporarily shifted to a bullpen role. However, the righty underwent knee surgery on Tuesday, which will put him on the shelf for at least the remainder of the regular season. Elder has been a workhorse for the Braves' rotation this season, as he's currently second on the team with 149 innings pitched over 26 starts. There's an outside chance he returns during the playoffs.

Grant Holmes will start for the Braves on Monday.

Elder will get a few extra days of rest ahead of his next start.

Bryce Elder was tagged for five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over 5 1/3 innings in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Two of the runs charged to Elder on Monday were scored after he exited the game in the top of the sixth inning, but the inconsistency continues from the Atlanta righty, nevertheless. Elder had a nice four-start run following the All-Star break, but he's not enjoyed the same positive results over his last four outings. In that most recent stretch, Elder has posted a 6.45 ERA and 1.66 WHIP across 22 1/3 innings.
