On Atlanta's wild-card roster Atlanta recalled Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact There's a decent chance Atlanta will need Elder to either start or eat some innings in relief in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series versus the Padres on Tuesday, as its pitching staff is short-handed following the doubleheader Monday and Chris Sale's (back) injury. Elder has collected a 6.52 ERA over 10 starts in the majors in 2024.

Could make Game 1 start Elder is a candidate to start Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Padres on Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Elder, AJ Smith-Shawver and Ian Anderson have all been named as options for Tuesday's game, and the club doesn't appear to be in a hurry to name a starter. Elder struggled to find his footing in the big leagues during the regular season, accruing a 6.52 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 46 strikeouts across 49.2 innings (10 starts).

Headed back to Gwinnett Atlanta will option Elder to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Elder had a tough time keeping the Brewers off the scoreboard during his spot start Tuesday, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six batters in 3.2 innings. He now owns a 6.52 ERA and 1.63 WHIP through 49.2 innings in the majors this year, and his demotion to Triple-A could allow Grant Holmes to stick around in Atlanta's rotation until Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) is able to return from the injured list.

Impact He'll join Atlanta's 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (forearm), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. According to Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Elder will also take over Lopez's spot in the rotation, as he's scheduled to start Tuesday in the first game of Atlanta's home series versus Milwaukee. Elder has previously made nine starts for the big club this season, delivering a 5.67 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 46 innings.

Strong against Milwaukee Elder (2-4) earned the win over the Brewers on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.1 innings.

Impact Elder did much better in this outing than he did in a July 20 spot start versus the Cardinals, in which he allowed six runs over five innings. The right-hander has been inconsistent at the major-league level, allowing six or more runs in three of his nine starts this season. He has a 5.67 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB through 46 innings. The chances of Elder getting another start during this stint in the majors will likely depend on if Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) is able to pitch versus the Marlins this weekend.

Recalled ahead of start Atlanta recalled Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact Elder will draw the start for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. The right-hander has struggled mightily in his eight outings with the big club this season, putting up a 6.35 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 39.2 innings. With Max Fried (forearm) out and Reynaldo Lopez's (forearm) status iffy, Elder could be needed for an additional start this weekend versus the Marlins.

Confirmed for start Tuesday Atlanta will recall Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Tuesday against the Brewers.

Impact Elder already joined Atlanta's taxi squad in Milwaukee on Monday, so it comes as little surprise that he'll get the starting nod for the second game of the series. If Elder fares well Tuesday in his return to the big club and if Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) is forced to miss his next turn through the rotation, Atlanta could have both Grant Holmes and Elder make starts against the Marlins over the weekend. The outlooks for both Elder and Holmes beyond this week are murkier, however, especially if both Lopez and Max Fried (forearm) are able to move past their current injuries. Elder has previously made eight starts for Atlanta this season, going 1-4 with a 6.35 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 39.2 innings.

Expected to start Tuesday Elder is likely to start Tuesday in Milwaukee, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact While Atlanta has not yet announced a starter for Tuesday's contest, Elder was spotted in the team's clubhouse prior to Monday's game. With Max Fried (forearm) not eligible to return until next week and Reynaldo Lopez's (forearm) situation up in the air, Elder could be needed for additional starts with the big club.

Moves back to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Elder to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact Elder served as the 27th man for Atlanta in Saturday's doubleheader with the Cardinals and started the second game of the twin bill, taking a loss while serving up six earned runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings. Though he'll head back to the minors, Elder could garner consideration for a return to the Atlanta rotation as a replacement for Max Fried (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. However, since Elder would only be on three days' rest when Fried's next turn in the rotation is scheduled to come up Wednesday, expect Atlanta to have another pitcher start that game.

JULY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard in spot start Elder (1-4) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, coughing up six runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out nine.

Impact The nine strikeouts were a season high for Elder, and his highest total since he fanned nine Pirates on Sept. 8 of last season, but Elder also served up homers to Nolan Gorman and Brendan Donovan in a 9-5 victory for the Cardinals. Elder is saddled with a 6.35 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB through 39.2 innings over his eight big-league starts in 2024, and he's likely headed back to Triple-A Gwinnett following this outing.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Added as 27th man Atlanta added Elder to its roster ahead of his start in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

Impact Elder hasn't enjoyed the same success in the majors this season (5.71 ERA) as he had last year (3.81 ERA), but he'll be called upon nonetheless to get Atlanta through the final game of Saturday's twin bill. The 25-year-old right-hander already faced St. Louis earlier this season, taking a loss after allowing two runs in six innings while striking out four batters. He'll likely be sent back to Triple-A Gwinnett following the end of the game.

Headed to majors Atlanta will recall Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact With Friday's game against St. Louis being pushed back to Saturday due to rain, Elder will join Atlanta for a spot start in the nightcap. The 25-year-old righty owns a 5.71 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 34.2 innings in the majors this season, though he allowed just two runs in six frames when he started against the Cardinals on June 26.
