Elder's Effort Not Enough in Braves' Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Braves Correspondent | Thu, Jun 27th 8:00am EDT
Bryce Elder pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits with no walks and four strikeouts in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a solid outing that saw Elder minimize walks and scatter hits effectively, his season-long struggles continue to overshadow his occasional bursts of efficiency. With a 5.76 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP over his starts this year, Elder's fantasy reliability remains shaky at best. His 7.0 K/9 and 4.77 FIP suggest some underlying skills, but the high BABIP of .368 indicates he's been somewhat unlucky. Fantasy managers should view Elder as a risky play, primarily in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when matchups are favorable.
