Bryce Elder struggles again, Braves fall to Cardinals 9-5

Bryce Elder had a rough outing, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out nine over five innings in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a decent strikeout count, Elder's performance was marred by the Cardinals' aggressive hitting, pushing his ERA to an unsettling 6.35 for the season. His WHIP also remains high at 1.64, reflecting ongoing struggles with allowing base runners. The high BABIP (.360) suggests some bad luck, but consistent issues with hits and runs allowed are concerning for fantasy managers. Elder's ability to miss bats at a decent rate (7.5 K/9) offers some silver linings, but his overall effectiveness is questionable. Fantasy managers should consider these factors heavily before slotting him into their starting lineup.
