However, he lost that momentum in the sixth, allowing four straight batters to reach base (on two singles and two walks) to surrender a run before getting the hook.

Bryce Elder gets the nod for Braves in Game 3 of NLDS vs Phillies

The Atlanta Braves have picked Bryce Elder to start Game 3 of the NL Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies

OCTOBER 11, 2023 • Associated Press

Named NLDS Game 3 starter Elder will start Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLDS in Philadelphia, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The decision came down to Elder and AJ Smith-Shawver and Atlanta has opted for the more experienced hurler. Elder posted a 3.81 ERA over 31 starts this season, but he held a 5.11 ERA in the second half and allowed 13 runs over 12.1 innings covering his last three regular season outings. There will be a short leash for Elder in this one, with Smith-Shawver looming as an alternative if a quick hook is required.

Impact Spencer Strider and Max Fried (finger) are pretty much locked into Games 1 and 2 at Truist Park in Atlanta, and the NL East champs will probably then turn to Elder to handle Game 3 at Citizens Bank Park. The young right-hander struggled over his final three regular-season starts, yielding 13 earned runs in 12.1 innings, but he delivered a solid 3.81 ERA across 174.2 total frames for the year and earned his first NL All-Star nod.

Won't start Sunday Elder won't start as originally scheduled Sunday against Washington, sDavid O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Elder already well past his career-high innings total (180.2), Atlanta will skip his next turn in the rotation heading into the postseason. The 24-year-old has given up 13 runs in 12.1 innings over his last three starts, so perhaps the extended rest period will help him return to form in the NLDS. The team has not yet named a replacement starter for the final game of the season.

Hit hard again Tuesday Elder did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out two.

Impact Elder's rough stretch continued against the Cubs -- he's now allowed 13 runs in his last three starts (12.1 innings) while failing to make it through four innings in his last two outings, issuing nine walks in that span (7.1 innings). Overall, Elder's ERA is up to 3.81 with a 1.28 WHIP and 128:63 K:BB across 31 starts (174.2) innings this season. He'll look to bounce back and end his year on a high note as Elder's currently lined up to face the Nationals in Atlanta's final regular season game this weekend.

The right-hander would then surrender two home runs to Nick Castellanos on the day, with the first one coming in the leadoff at-bat to begin the second inning. Elder has now allowed four runs in back-to-back starts, though it marked the first time since July 18 that he failed to make it through at least four frames.
