Max Fried injury and Yankees pitching status

Overview

On August 13, New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried pitched five innings in a 1-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Fried allowed one run and described the outing as a ‘grind’ where he did not feel he had his ‘best stuff’.

Following that performance, the Yankees placed Fried on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 14, due to a left elbow bone bruise. This injury is a recurrence of an issue that previously sidelined him from mid-May to late July. By August 17, Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted that an MRI indicated the issue is currently ‘low-level inflammation’ rather than a more severe recurrence. The team maintained a cautious approach, with the possibility of Fried returning by the end of August if he cleared medical requirements.

By August 27, Fried was cleared to return from the injured list for a doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Fried would start one of the two games, while Carlos Rodón was scheduled to start the other. Fried, 32, has maintained a 2.81 ERA over 15 starts this season. The return comes as the Yankees hold a 2.5-game lead over the Red Sox in the race for the top American League wild card and home-field advantage.

In related roster developments, Carlos Rodón returned to the rotation following his own period of elbow inflammation, while outfielder Cody Bellinger was expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to recover from a hamstring strain.
