Bryce Elder

Bryce Elder pitched 5.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits, striking out six, and walking none in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a decent strikeout count and avoiding walks, Elder's performance was marred by the volume of hits allowed, which contributed to his inability to go deeper into the game. His season ERA now sits at 4.79 with a WHIP of 1.65, numbers that hardly inspire confidence for fantasy managers. The high BABIP (.365) suggests some bad luck, but it's clear Elder needs to make adjustments to become a more reliable option. His moderate strikeout rate (7.0 K/9) combined with a high FIP (5.05) indicates potential ongoing struggles, making him a risky play in most fantasy formats.

Bryce Elder had a rough outing, allowing seven earned runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four over 3 1/3 innings in Saturday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

This performance has certainly inflated his ERA to 5.28 and WHIP to 1.76 for the season, which are troubling indicators for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains low at 5.9 K/9, and a high BABIP of .348 suggests some bad luck, though not enough to ignore the underlying issues. Elder's control has been a concern, as evidenced by his 1.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio and today's four walks. Moving forward, fantasy managers should be wary of starting him in their lineups, especially against high-scoring teams.

Fantasy Impact

This outing, his first of the season, is a positive step for Elder, who posted 12 wins last season. Elder’s fantasy managers should monitor his ability to maintain such performance levels against more challenging lineups.
