Bryce Elder, a starting pitcher, underwent surgery on his right knee and will be out for three to four weeks. The procedure was necessary due to discomfort in his knee that he has been experiencing since the All-Star break. Elder has made 26 starts this season and has a record of 8-8 with a 4.11 ERA.

He has 15 quality starts, second on his team behind Chris Sale. The surgery was performed after Elder flew from Philadelphia to Dallas. Further details about his condition and recovery are available.
