Elder didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 16-13 loss to the Diamondbacks, surrendering seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and a walk over 2.2 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

His defense did him no favors, but Elder also wasn't sharp and need 76 pitches (49 strikes) to record just eight outs. The 24-year-old right-hander has been tagged for 12 earned runs in six innings during his two starts bracketing the All-Star break, pushing his ratios up to a 3.31 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, likely to come this weekend in Milwaukee.

Elder (7-2) was charged with the loss Sunday in Tampa Bay after he gave up seven runs on six hits and four walks across 3.1 innings. He did not record any strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie right-hander generated just four swinging strikes on 69 pitches as the Rays struck for four runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth. It's the first time in 18 starts this season Elder failed to pitch at least five frames, and the seven runs allowed are also a season worst. Even with Sunday's poor showing, the 24-year-old still finished the first half of the campaign with a 2.97 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 80:34 K:BB in 106 innings.

Elder (7-1) earned the win over Cleveland on Monday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 6.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Elder retired the side in order in just one of the innings during which he pitched, but the Guardians failed to score through six frames. They finally broke through with a pair of runs off the right-hander in the seventh, which ended his outing after 92 pitches. Nonetheless, Elder pitched well enough to notch his seventh win and record his fourth straight quality start. He's posted an uninspiring 15:8 K:BB over 25.2 innings during that stretch but has still managed an excellent 1.75 ERA and 1.01 WHIP.

Elder (6-1) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks over six innings in a 6-2 victory over the Twins. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander also hit a batter and tossed a wild pitch as he threw only 59 of 98 pitches for strikes, and his defense committed four errors on the night. Fortunately for Elder, Atlanta's offense out-slugged the mistakes, backing him with five homers in the first two innings. The quality start was his third straight and 10th of the season in 16 outings, and the 24-year-old rookie will take a 2.44 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 79:28 K:BB through 96 innings into his next start, likely to come early next week in Cleveland.

Elder took a no-decision in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Phillies after he allowed three hits and two walks across seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The young right-hander generated just 11 swinging strikes on 99 pitches but consistently worked from ahead in the count and held Philadelphia without an extra-base hit. Elder struggled in his first two starts of June with nine runs allowed, but he's now given up just one run on seven hits over his past two outings. The rookie has taken advantage of the injuries to Atlanta's starting rotation and has a 2.40 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 75:24 K:BB over 90 innings this year.

Elder (5-1) earned the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta staked Elder to a 9-0 lead through three innings, so it was a relatively stress-free outing for the rookie. He surrendered a solo homer to Mike Moustakas in the fifth but otherwise cruised to his fifth win and eighth quality start. Elder had hit a rough patch in his previous two outings, surrendering nine runs over 11.1 frames, so this was a promising bounce-back performance. The right-hander has established himself as a key part of Atlanta's rotation, posting a 2.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 69:22 K:BB over 83 innings on the campaign.

Elder (4-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Nationals. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Elder couldn't get through the sixth inning, snapping a four-game streak, and surrendered a season-high five runs during his first loss. The right-hander has allowed three home runs over his past two starts after giving up just four long balls across his first 11 appearances. Overall, the 24-year-old still boasts solid numbers (2.69 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 65:22 K:BB) through 13 starts (77 innings), but he's currently on a two-game slide. Elder will look to get back on track his next time out, which is tentatively scheduled during a four-game set versus the Rockies.

Elder (4-0) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up four runs on four hits and two walks over six innings as Atlanta downed the Mets 6-4. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

A pair of two-run homers in the third inning by Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso accounted for all the Mets' offense, but Elder settled down after that and gave his team a chance to come back. The eight Ks were a season high for the 24-year-old righty, and Elder will take a sharp 2.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB through 71.2 innings into his next outing, likely to come at home this weekend against the Nationals.

Elder allowed a run on five hits and three walks while striking out five over 7.1 innings in a no-decision versus Oakland on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Elder continues to be a victim of a lack of run support -- Atlanta has scored a total of 16 runs over his last five starts, all of which have been no-decisions. He's done his part in that span by allowing just seven runs over 29.2 innings. The 24-year-old right-hander trimmed his ERA to 1.92 with a 1.16 WHIP and 56:19 K:BB through 65.2 innings overall. Elder will look to keep his strong pitching going at home versus the Mets next week.

Elder tossed six innings against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Elder allowed six batters to reach base through his first three frames but prevented Los Angeles from notching any runs. The Dodgers finally got to him in the fifth on a Mookie Betts solo homer, though that was all the run production they managed against the rookie over six innings. An eighth-inning LA rally kept Elder winless for the fourth straight outing despite the fact that he hasn't yielded more than two runs in any appearance during that stretch. The 24-year-old has been a revelation for both Atlanta and fantasy managers this season, as he's registered a 2.01 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB through 10 starts covering 58.1 frames.
