Rotoworld Player News

Bryce Elder

ATL Starting Pitcher #55

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bryce Elder received a no-decision on Sunday against the Pirates, tossing six innings of two-run ball while striking out four.

Elder allowed two hits and two walks in the quality start, lowering his ERA to 2.66 on the year. The right-hander has now given up more than three earned runs in a start just once all season. Elder has been using three fastballs in 2026, adding a cutter while increasing the usage of his four-seamer at the expense of his sinker. Additionally, he’s leading with his slider for the first time in his career. The package is helping him outperform what the pitching models indicate, and he’ll look to keep rolling next time out against the Mets.
Didier Fuentes

ATL Starting Pitcher #72

Didier Fuentes earned his first career save in the Braves’ 3-2 win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Veteran closer Raisel Iglesias had already earned saves on Friday and Saturday, so Fuentes came in as the fresh option. Still just 20 years old, he’s been used as a traditional reliever lately. Fuentes hasn’t recorded more than four outs in an appearance since May 12. The Braves will likely be flexible with his role moving forward, and saves will be few and far between with Iglesias and Robert Suárez also in this bullpen. This is still a big developmental win for Atlanta, as he’s succeeding despite the unexpected usage.
Michael Harris II

ATL Center Fielder #23

Michael Harris II came off the bench to deliver a three-run, go-ahead double that propelled the Braves to a 3-2 win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Harris has been battling a back issue and wasn’t healthy enough to start on Sunday, but he still delivered the game-winning hit. He’s in the midst of a career-best campaign. While his walk rate remains uninspiring, Harris’ bat-to-ball metrics have erupted in his age-25 season. His quality of contact is not only the best of his career but some of the best in the sport. Atlanta is off on Monday before a six-game road trip to face the White Sox and Mets.
Michael Harris II

ATL Center Fielder #23

Michael Harris II (back) remains out of the Braves’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates.

The dynamic 25-year-old was pulled from Friday’s game due to tightness in his back. The Braves still believe that it’s a minor issue and that Harris won’t require a trip to the injured list. Mauricio Dubon will once again take his place in center field and will bat second for the Braves against Mason Montgomery and the Pirates on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta.
Chadwick Tromp

ATL Catcher #41

Braves sent C Chadwick Tromp outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The 31-year-old backstop had been designated for assignment on Thursday, but he passed through waivers unclaimed. As expected, he’ll continue to serve as extra catching depth for the Braves at the Triple-A level.
Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

Spencer Strider allowed five hits and three runs with two walks and three strikeouts across five innings to earn the win in a 6-3 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.

It wasn’t pretty, but Strider got the job done. There were not many clean innings as the command of his secondaries were not sharp. That’s a problem because Strider’s fastball remains an issue. Without the elite velocity or shape of yesteryear, that fastball doesn’t miss many bats anymore and forced a grand total of zero swings-and-misses in this one. He’s gotten by with his slider plus curveball and changeup especially against left-handed batters – and the Pirates’ lineup was nearly all lefties in this one – they just weren’t as sharp here. Strider will take a 4.00 ERA, 43 strikeouts, and 19 walks over 36 innings pitched into his next scheduled start against the Mets on the road.
Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Raisel Iglesias allowed one hit and struck out one batter to secure the save on Saturday against the Pirates.

The 36-year-old wonder continues to show no signs of slowing down with another save and scoreless appearance here. He’s only allowed two earned runs all season and they both came in the same appearance. So, 19 of 20 appearances without a run which has helped him to a gorgeous 0.87 ERA on the season along with 24 strikeouts and just four walks in 20 2/3 innings. Right now, he’s performing like one of the best closers in the league.
Dominic Smith

ATL Designated Hitter #8

Dom Smith went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk on Saturday against the Pirates.

Smith came into this game without a hit in more than a week and was stuck in his first slump of the season. It seems like he ended that decisively with his two-run shot in this one that more or less ended Pirates’ starter Braxton Ashcraft’s outing and more or less put this game away. Still starting against all right-handed pitchers the Braves face, Smith has had a magnificent season to this point with six home runs, 28 RBI, a .309 batting average, and an .830 OPS through 52 games.
Hurston Waldrep

ATL Starting Pitcher #30

Hurston Waldrep (elbow) allowed one run over two innings on Saturday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Waldrep struck out four, issued three walks and also uncorked a wild pitch in his second rehab outing in the lower minors. The 24-year-old former top prospect will need a couple additional outings, especially some against higher-level competition, before he’s ready to rejoin Atlanta’s rotation sometime around late June or early July.
Michael Harris II

ATL Center Fielder #23

Michael Harris II (back) is out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Pirates.

Mauricio Dubón’s recent power surge enables Atlanta to give Harris some extra time off after making an early exit from Friday’s series opener with back tightness. The 25-year-old center fielder is day-to-day heading into Sunday’s series finale at Truist Park.
