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.

Elder allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over six-plus innings during Friday's win over the Mariners. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Elder was dominant for most of Friday's outing, tossing six shutout frames while just one baserunner reached scoring position. He was then charged with two runs after putting three straight batters on base without recording an out in the seventh. Elder forced a career-high 14 whiffs, his first time hitting the double-digit mark in that category since April 26. The second-year righty now owns a 2.06 ERA and a 45:15 K:BB through nine starts. Elder is lined up for a home outing against the Dodgers next week.

Elder didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The young right-hander continues to give Atlanta some stability at the back of its injury-wracked rotation. Elder has allowed two runs or less in four of his last five starts, and through 46.1 innings this season he sports a 1.94 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 39:14 K:BB. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, likely to come at home next weekend against the Mariners.

Elder did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over 5.1 innings against Baltimore. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't Elder's sharpest outing of the season, allowing four hits and four walks over 5.1 innings, but he was able to navigate through traffic, holding the Orioles to just one run. The 24-year-old Elder has now allowed just one run over his last two starts (12.1 innings). He's 3-0 this season with an excellent 1.74 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB through seven starts. While he's due for some regression, Edler's been able to limit damage throughout the year thanks to a 57.6 percent ground ball rate.

Elder (3-0) earned the win Tuesday, allowing no runs on three hits over seven innings against the Marlins. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins had no answer for Elder on Tuesday. The 23-year-old right-hander held Miami to just three hits (all singles) in a season-high seven scoreless innings. Elder lowered his ERA to 1.75 with a 1.06 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB through 36 innings. While an 88.4 percent strand rate indicates that Edler is likely due for some regression, he's been able to limit damage thanks to a 55 percent ground-ball rate.

Elder did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Marlins. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Elder was plagued by the long ball Wednesday, giving up solo homers to Jesus Sanchez, Jazz Chisholm and Avisail Garcia in his time on the mound. Leading up to the outing, Elder hadn't allowed a home run through 23.2 innings and hadn't allowed a run in three of his four starts. The 24-year-old boasts a 2-0 record to pair with a 2.17 ERA and 8.07 K/9.
