## Resource

Atlanta’s pitching rotation just got a major shake-up as Bryce Elder, sidelined by a nagging knee issue, moves to the bullpen for at least a week. After four rough starts that saw him surrender runs and homers, the Braves are wisely managing his workload without putting him on the IL—keeping him available for the stretch run. Manager confirms Elder’s knee still hurts, so this break gives him time to heal while opening the door for Reynaldo Lopez to return to the rotation. The upcoming series against Tampa Bay will feature AJ Smith-Shawver, Lopez, and Martín Pérez, with Chris Sale and Tyler Mahle rounding out the schedule. If Elder’s knee responds well, he could be back in the rotation soon—maybe even during the Cubs series. For now, the Braves are prioritizing health and depth.
