Atlanta stranded baserunners and could not convert opportunities, falling 2-1 to Philadelphia as Ranger Suarez delivered five solid innings. Bryce Elder wasn’t blown up and kept the Braves in the game, but the offense again failed to string hits together, resorting to a few small-ball chances that never fully materialized. A late Phillies rally in the eighth sealed it, and the series rolls on with Chris Sale’s return on the horizon.

Fantasy takeaway: Elder’s resilience is a sign of stability for Atlanta’s rotation, while Olson, Harris II, Acuña Jr., Albies, and Profar remain high-upside bets when the offense shows life. The Phillies still carry pop from Harper, Marsh, and Schwarber, but the Braves’ run-scoring volatility persists. Anticipate bullpen tweaks and Sale’s impact as key predictors for the next few games.
