Braves’ Bryce Elder Out for 3-4 Weeks | Atlanta Braves News

Braves’ ace Bryce Elder goes under the knife for a knee procedure, sidelining him 3-4 weeks — a necessary move to protect his health ahead of the playoffs. With eight wins and a 4.11 ERA this season, his absence hits hard, but Reynaldo López steps in as the new rotation anchor. López, recovering from his own knee woes, brings a solid 3.64 ERA and recent rehab starts. The team’s making a tough but smart call: prioritize long-term performance over short-term stability. Depth is being tested, but they’re ready — and the goal? As many healthy arms as possible when it matters most. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
