Bryce Elder Faces Struggles in Spring Rotation Battle

Bryce Elder continues to compete for a spot in the Braves' starting rotation, though recent outings have been challenging. He surrendered five runs over 3.1 innings against the Rays in a game impacted by wind, and followed up with another difficult performance. Despite these setbacks, the Braves are evaluating their pitching depth, and Elder remains a key candidate as the team weighs the necessity of adding external rotation help before the regular season begins.
