Braves make shocking Bryce Elder decision that solidifies starting rotation

The Atlanta Braves made some interesting changes to their pitching staff. After their rotation was decimated by injuries last season, they are looking to spice up their starting rotation. The usual suspects are still there, of course: Max Fried, Spencer Strider, and Charlie Morton. However, one player from last season's rotation will be absent from the opening day roster: Bryce Elder.

Bryce Elder emerged last season as a solid option when Kyle Wright and the rest of the rotation went down. Many expected him, along with new addition Chris Sale, to complete the Braves' rotation in 2024.
