The Atlanta Braves have recalled right-handed pitcher Bryce Elder from Triple-A to take the spot of the injured AJ Smith-Shawver, who will miss the rest of the season. Elder has shown strong form in May with a 3.82 xFIP and consistent outings, including 17 innings pitched with only six earned runs. Dylan Dodd, who has struggled in his limited time, has been sent back to Gwinnett. Elder's impressive performances suggest he has the ability to secure a position in the Braves' rotation throughout the Summer.
