Braves, Phillies, Tigers Option Multiple Pitchers to Triple-A

Several MLB teams have made roster moves involving optioning pitchers to Triple-A amid roster adjustments and injury returns. The Atlanta Braves optioned starting pitcher Bryce Elder to Triple-A despite his recent strong performances, including a six-inning one-run outing, to make room for the expected return of Spencer Strider from a hamstring injury. Elder has shown improvement over the season but is likely to be recalled if needed. Similarly, the Detroit Tigers sent right-handed pitcher Chase Lee to Triple-A Toledo as part of routine roster management; Lee has maintained a solid 1.00 ERA across eight MLB appearances. Other teams, including the Philadelphia Phillies and Baltimore Orioles, have also optioned players to Triple-A to accommodate returning injured players or manage roster spots. These moves reflect typical roster flexibility strategies as teams balance performance, injuries, and player options.
