Next start getting skipped Atlanta will skip Elder's next turn through the rotation, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Elder was lined up to make his next start Friday against the Mets, but Atlanta will give him extra time to rest after he displayed diminished velocity during his last outing Saturday. Grant Holmes will now take the mound to begin Friday's contest; meanwhile, Elder's next start is likely to come next week in Pittsburgh.

Could get extra rest before ASB Elder's velocity was down about one mph on all his pitches in his most recent start, and Atlanta is likely to look for opportunities to give him extra rest, Mark Bowman of MLB.com...

Impact The right-hander has looked fatigued over his last three starts, coughing up 19 runs in 14 innings on 27 hits, including five homers. Atlanta's rotation is already missing multiple members, however, and depth is an issue. Hurston Waldrep, who was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett this past weekend and threw 55 pitches over two innings of relief behind Reynaldo Lopez on Friday, could be an option to make a spot start and buy Elder an extra day of rest.

Tagged for five runs in loss Elder (5-6) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Giants.

Impact Elder gave up four of the runs via Rafael Devers long balls. This was Elder's third straight loss, and he has allowed 19 runs over 14 innings in that span, largely undoing what was a mostly positive first half of the campaign. The right-hander is now at a 4.01 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 83:30 K:BB through 98.2 innings over 17 starts. He's allowed five homers during his current losing streak compared to just seven homers across his first 14 starts, which explains at least some of the recent struggles.

Impact All of the runs against Elder came in the second inning Sunday -- five of them came with two outs, when the Brewers strung together four hits, capped by a William Contreras three-run homer.

Elder's ERA now sits at 3.15 through 15 starts (88.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 73:27 K:BB. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Bounces back with quality start Elder (5-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six across 6.2 innings.

Impact Elder was looking to bounce back from his last start against the Red Sox on Wednesday, when he allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits across 3.1 innings. He gave up a two-run home run to Kazuma Okamoto in the second frame of Tuesday's outing, but Elder limited the Jays to just one more run for the remainder of his start, finishing with 12 whiffs, seven ground outs and 64 strikes on 103 pitches. Elder is up to nine quality starts this season, which is tied for most in the majors with Chris Sale, Cristopher Sanchez and Michael Wacha. Elder will take a 2.63 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 78.2 innings into his next start, which is slated for this weekend at home against the Pirates.

Rare dud in third loss Elder (4-3) took the loss Wednesday against Boston, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and one walk in 3.1 innings. He struck out one.

Impact Elder danced around constant trouble throughout the evening but couldn't escape the fourth inning, when the Red Sox shelled him for six runs. The 27-year-old right-hander gave up a season-worst nine hits and five earned runs in his shortest outing of the year, also fanning a season-low one. Elder will be hoping to flush Wednesday's dud in his next scheduled appearance against the Blue Jays, still holding a strong 2.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 61:22 K:BB over 72 frames.
