Elder will head back to the minors after making a spot start on Tuesday. This is likely a good sign that Reynaldo Lopez should be ready to rejoin the rotation soon.

Bryce Elder delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over 6.1 innings in Tuesday's 5-1 win against the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a refreshing change of pace for Elder, whose season had been marred by a high 5.67 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across his first nine starts. The significant improvement in this game could hint at a potential turnaround, especially considering his solid 7.8 K/9 and decent 2.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Elder's next few starts to see if this performance is a sign of adjustments taking hold or merely a good day at the office against a manageable Brewers lineup.

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.
