- Reynaldo will replace Elder in the Braves six-man rotation moving forward and is scheduled to start Wednesday after recovering from six weeks on the injured list.
- With under 20 games remaining, Elder will miss the rest of the regular season, though the team maintains hope he could return in time for the postseason.
