Atlanta Braves right-hander Bryce Elder will start Wednesday's clash against the host Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.

The Braves overcame a four-run deficit to post a 5-4 victory on Monday and even the best-of-five series at one win apiece.

Elder, 24, was 12-4 with a 3.81 ERA in 31 appearances (all starts) and made the All-Star team this season. He had a 3.38 ERA without a decision in two meetings with the Phillies in 2023.
