Yankees activated LHP Max Fried from the 15-day injured list.
Fried returns to New York’s rotation for the nightcap of Wednesday’s twin bill against the Pirates following a 10-week absence due to a bone bruise in his elbow. The 32-year-old fantasy ace posted a strong 3.21 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50/19 K/BB ratio across 61 2/3 innings prior to hitting the shelf in mid-May. He’s likely to be limited to roughly 60 pitches in his return from the injured list since that was the number he was slated to throw in a minor league rehab start before the Yankees decided to bring him back instead. His return should provide a massive lift for fantasy managers heading into the final two months.
