He had a 6.56 career ERA coming into this season

What a start by Bryce Elder tonite. CGSO, 6 H, 1 B, 6 K. In his last 4 starts: 27.7 IP, 2 ER, 15 H, 8 BB, 1 HBP, 28 K. That's a 0.65 ERA and 1.083 WHIP. Atlanta has some nice young SPs.

Bryce Elder, apparently NOT a great guy...

Braves sign Spencer Strider for 6 years/$75 million plus a $22 million team option for the 2029 season with a $5 million buyout.

[madducks]

Braves sign RP Nick Anderson for 1 year/$875,000.

Anderson has had elbow problems the last few years and the deal is contingent upon him making the major league team.

[madducks]

Braves hitting coach Kevin Seitzer, who is entering his ninth season, is the longest-tenured hitting coach in MLB. I wonder if he knows that there is another Kevin Seitzer in the organization lol.

Vaughn Grissom sent to AAA

Vaughn Grissom sent to AAA

And surprisingly Shewmake as well leaving OD SS to Orlando Arcia.

The Braves place Collin McHugh on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation.

Jared Shuster has been called up to take his place.

Ian Anderson needs TJ surgery, so see ya in '25

Can Michael Harris be the first reigning Rookie of the Year winner to be demoted the following year? He's been absolutely abysmal -- .163/.242/.244 -- and they might be better off letting him right the ship in AAA for awhile.

Willie McCovey was the NL Rookie of the Year in 1959, but after a slump the next summer, he spent 17 games in the minors in 1960.

Harris seems like a buy low, he's walking more than '22, striking out less, hitting the ball just as hard. He was hurt which I assume had a negative effect and his babip is way down. I dont see any reason to expect less than what we expected coming into the year at this point?
