Bryce Elder Sent Back To Minors
5 months agoThe Atlanta Braves optioned right-hander Bryce Elder to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday after he made a spot start for the team during their doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. In his sixth start of the year for Atlanta on Wednesday in Game 2, Elder was hit with a tough-luck loss (his third of the year) after posting a quality start with two earned runs allowed on four hits, no walks and four striking in six innings pitched. It was definitely a nice bounce-back performance after he allowed seven runs (six earned) on a season-high nine hits in just three innings in his previous start on May 19 against the San Diego Padres. We'll probably see the 25-year-old again in 2024 in Atlanta's rotation. In his six starts in 2024, Elder has gone 1-3 with a bloated 5.76 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 29 2/3 frames.
