Welcoming in the Athletics, the Braves received a solid performance from right-hander to open the series. The former All-Star (2023) pitched six shutout innings while striking out five and walking one in his first start.

Elder had a 4.73 ERA and allowed seven earned runs in 13.1 innings this spring.

But from a stuff standpoint and the crispness and stuff, yeah, I absolutely do.” Elder is three years removed from his best season — 12-4 with a 3.81 ERA in 2023 — and had back-to-back down seasons. In 2024, Elder had a 6.52 ERA, and in 2025, a 5.30 ERA. Elder started in Triple-A Gwinnett and shuttled back and forth for the remainder of the season.

Elder also increased the vertical drop on his changeup, going from 31.7 inches in 2025 to 33.7 inches, per . Bryce Elder Helps the Braves Win Their First Challenge of the Season If pitching a shutout through six innings wasn’t enough, Elder helped the Braves win their first ABS (Automated Ball/Strike system) challenge.

Javier Baez (SS/3B/OF - DET)
3/31/26 4:09 AM - Michael Soroka throws immaculate 5th inning in Arizona Diamondbacks debut. Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Michael Soroka threw an immaculate fifth inning on Monday night against the Detroit Tigers, becoming the fourth pitcher in franchise history to strike out three straight batters on nine pitches. The 28-year-old Soroka made quick work of Javier Baez, Kerry Carpenter and Gleyber Torres, blowing a 95 mph fastball past Torres for his 10th strikeout of the game, which tied a career high. Soroka was making his first start for the Diamondbacks after signing a $7.5 million, one-year deal during the offseason. Soroka was an All-Star for the Atlanta Braves in 2019 but back-to-back Achilles injuries caused him to miss most of the 2020 season and all of 2021 and 2022.
