Elder (8-11) took the loss Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on six hits over seven innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

While Elder was stuck with the loss, the right-hander made it through seven innings for the fourth time in his last six starts -- he's posted a 2.79 ERA in that span (38.2 innings). Elder will likely wrap up an up-and-down campaign with a 5.30 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 131:51 K:BB across 28 outings (156.1 innings).

Elder (8-10) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on five hits over seven innings in a 10-1 rout of the Tigers. He struck out six without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander continued a strong finish to the campaign, serving up just a solo shot to Spencer Torkelson en route to his 13th quality start of the season. Elder has given up two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six outings, posting a 2.63 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:8 K:BB through 37.2 innings over that stretch. He's scheduled to wrap up his 2025 with a home start next week against the Nationals.

Elder (7-10) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing six runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out seven across 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Elder managed to generate 17 whiffs on 89 pitches (58 strikes), but he gave up three runs in both the second and third innings, with the Astros' scoring barrage capped off by a two-run homer by Christian Walker in the third. Saturday ended Elder's streak of quality starts at four, and the 10 hits he yielded match a season high. He now sits at a 5.56 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 142.1 innings this season. Elder will look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up for next weekend on the road against the Tigers.

Elder (7-9) notched the win Monday against the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Since being torched for eight runs in his Aug. 19 start against the White Sox, Elder has gotten himself into quite the groove on the hill. The right-hander has thrown at least six innings while yielding two runs or fewer in four consecutive outings, improving his ERA from 6.29 following that Aug. 19 appearance to 5.35 for the season during that span. Elder will be trying to keep the good times rolling this weekend at home against the Astros. Through 138 innings, he has a 1.41 WHIP and 111:48 K:BB to go with the aforementioned 5.35 ERA.

Elder (6-9) notched the win Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing one unearned run on four hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first start of the season with zero earned runs allowed for Elder, who issued no walks for the first time since his June 7 outing in San Francisco. The right-hander has been quite a boom-or-bust fantasy option over his last eight starts, during which he's permitted two runs or fewer in five outings and conceded five runs or greater in his three other appearances. Elder will be searching for some consistency in a scheduled rematch with the Cubs next week, and he carries a 5.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 105:43 K:BB across 131.2 innings.

Elder came away with a no-decision Friday as Atlanta fell 2-1 to the Phillies, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander held a very dangerous offense in check over 96 pitches (58 strikes), with only a leadoff walk to Kyle Schwarber in the fourth inning coming back to bite him. The quality start was Elder's fourth in six August starts, but he wraps up the month with a 4.82 ERA and 26:12 K:BB in 37.1 innings despite a 1.15 WHIP. He lines up to make his next trip to the mound at home next weekend against the Mariners.

Elder did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Mets, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Elder surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning but bounced back with four scoreless frames to close out his outing. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent in August, logging three quality starts while giving up 13 runs across his other two appearances. He'll take a 6.12 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 96:45 K:BB over 117.2 innings into a road matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

Elder didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

While Elder did toss three clean innings during Tuesday's outing, the White Sox tagged the hurler for three runs in the third frame and five runs in the fifth. It was the third time this season that the right-hander yielded at least eight runs, and each of those instances have come in his last nine starts. Elder has a 7.45 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 57:30 K:BB over 67.2 innings since the beginning of June, so he doesn't project as the most enticing streaming option for next week's scheduled appearance in Miami.

Elder (5-9) picked up the win Thursday against the Mets, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks across seven innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Elder snapped a streak of three consecutive losses Thursday, delivering a quality start and completing seven innings for the first time in 10 appearances. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent in his last eight starts, allowing five or more earned runs three times and fewer than three earned runs three times during that stretch. On the year, Elder has a 5.89 ERA and an 87:41 K:BB across 107 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the White Sox next time out.

Elder (4-9) took the loss against Miami on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Elder was under pressure for most of the outing, frequently working with runners on base, and Miami took advantage by scoring in three straight frames, highlighted by Heriberto Hernandez launching a two-run homer in the fifth inning. The right-hander has struggled mightily since the All-Star break, posting an 8.69 ERA with six losses and eight home runs allowed over 39.1 innings in eight starts. He's lined up to face the Mets on the road in his next outing.
