Tallies fourth win Elder (4-6) allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings and picked up the win Monday against San Francisco. He struck out one.

Impact Elder was not sharp in this 108-pitch outing but benefitted from facing off against Giants starter Hayden Birdsong, who failed to record an out, allowing the Atlanta lineup to plate five runs in the first. Since a magnificent 12-strikeout performance at San Francisco on June 7, Elder has struggled with a 8.89 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 21:15 K:BB over 27.1 innings. Across 84.2 total innings, the former All-Star sports a 5.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 70:31 K:BB, making him difficult to roster in any fantasy league. The Atlanta right-hander currently lines up to make his next start at Texas this weekend.

Fans seven in victory Elder (3-6) earned the win over the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 6.2 innings.

Impact Elder logged his second-longest outing of the season, trailing only his eight-inning, 12-strikeout performance against San Francisco on June 7. The right-hander racked up an outstanding 24 whiffs Wednesday, setting a new career-high mark in that category. Elder was in dire need of a positive performance, as he had logged a 12.64 ERA, 2.81 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB over his previous four starts spanning 15.2 frames.

Another poor showing in sixth loss Elder (2-6) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Angels, giving up four runs on eight hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.

Impact Elder's rough stretch dragged into Thursday's start, as he allowed at least four runs and seven hits in his fourth straight outing. His ERA once stood at a palatable 4.08 for the season following a brilliant 12-strikeout performance in his June 7 start, but that figure has since ballooned to 5.92 for the year. The right-hander has a disastrous 12.64 ERA, 2.81 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB over his last four appearances (15.2 frames), so he doesn't shape up as a particularly appealing fantasy option against the Athletics at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park his next time out.

Rain delay leads to disaster Elder (2-5) took the loss Friday, surrendering 10 runs (nine earned) on eight hits and four walks over two-plus innings in a 13-0 loss to the Phillies. He struck out two.

Impact The right-hander has already warmed up when the first pitch was delayed over two hours by rain, and while the Phillies elected not to send their scheduled starter Mick Abel to the mound and went with a bullpen game instead, Atlanta stuck with Elder to disastrous results. While this was the worst outing of his big-league career, the 26-year-old had been struggling coming into Friday, getting tagged for nine runs in 8.2 innings over his prior two trips to the mound. The three-start collapse has sent his ERA soaring from 4.08 to 5.82, but Atlanta's lack of healthy rotation options will likely provide him with more job security than his recent performances warrant. Elder will try to get back on track in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Angels.

Falls to Miami Elder (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins, allowing five runs on 10 hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Stumbles vs. Rockies on Friday Elder took a no-decision Friday against the Rockies, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact On the heels of fanning a career-high 12 in his last start, Elder floundered in a favorable spot at home versus the woeful Rockies. The 26-year-old right-hander's two punchouts matched a season low, and he tossed a season-low 3.1 frames. Elder holds a serviceable 4.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 60.2 innings in 2025, but he may not be as appealing a streamer his next time out versus a Mets team that's slugging a robust .471 against righties over their last 34 games.
