The Atlanta Braves scratched All-Star left-hander Chris Sale from his Monday night start against the Arizona Diamondbacks and recalled right-hander Bryce Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the contest.
The Braves announced the promotion of Elder four-plus hours before first pitch. No reason was immediately available for the decision involving Sale.
Sale is now listed to start Tuesday night's game against Arizona ace Zac Gallen.
Sale (11-3, 2.71 ERA) is tied for the major league lead in victories and ranks sixth in strikeouts (127) and eighth in ERA.
