Player Stats

Max Fried pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out seven, earning a no-decision in the Yankees’ 3-2 win over the Braves.

Fried scattered three hits over 6 1/3 innings against his former team on Friday while striking out seven batters. While fantasy managers won’t be disappointed in the production, Fried received no run support while on the mound, exiting in the seventh inning with the game stuck in a scoreless tie. We’re still waiting on Fried’s fifth win of the season, as he hasn’t picked up a win since April 27th against the Rangers. Fried has allowed just four earned runs over his last 19 2/3 innings of work and is next scheduled to start on Wednesday at home against the Mariners.

Max Fried pitched well in a tough-luck loss against the Mariners on Thursday afternoon, allowing just one run on five hits across his five innings of work.

The 32-year-old southpaw struck out four batters on the day while issuing a pair of free passes. The lone tally against him came on a solo blast off the bat of Weston Wilson in the second inning which proved to be the only scoring for either side in the contest. Fried got seven whiffs on 88 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 31 percent. He’ll bring a stellar 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 79/27 K/BB ratio (86 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s tilt against the Orioles in Baltimore.

Max Fried allowed one run and two hits over 5 1/3 innings Saturday against the Cubs.

Fried departed with a one-run lead, but since it didn’t hold up, he’s still winless in three starts since coming off the IL. In fact, he’s gone winless in six straight starts overall. The only other time he went more than four straight starts without a win was in 2024, when he went 0-4 with a 4.89 ERA in a seven-start stretch for Atlanta. That one also took place around an injury; he missed three starts in the middle of it with a forearm issue. Speaking of Atlanta, Fried will face his old team at home next time out, probably on Friday.

Max Fried allowed three runs in three innings and got a no-decision against the White Sox on Monday.

Fried gave up five hits, walked two and struck out four. After throwing five scoreless innings in his return start against the Pirates last week, this start was a bit of a clunker. Fried allowed three runs in the first inning before holding the White Sox scoreless for the next two innings. Having thrown 66 pitches, Fried didn’t even start the fourth inning. He should be able to throw a few more pitches in his next start against the Cubs on the road on Saturday.

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Max Fried pitched five scoreless innings and struck out seven against the Pirates in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

Working on a limit of about 60 pitches in his return from a bone bruise in his elbow, Fried got through five in 57, 37 of which were strikes, and averaged 96.2 mph with his fastball, which was 1.5 mph better than his season average. He left a scoreless game, so there was no win to be had. However, it was an awfully encouraging showing. He’ll get the White Sox next.

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.

Max Fried (elbow) will be activated to start the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Pirates.

He’s back. Fried is likely be limited to roughly 60 pitches in his return after throwing just 52 in his lone minor league outing last week. The 32-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter will rejoin New York’s rotation instead of making another rehab start following a 10-week absence recovering from a bone bruise in his left elbow. He was off to a strong start with a 3.21 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50/19 K/BB ratio across 61 2/3 innings prior to the injury. The Pirates have been unexpectedly hot the last few weeks, but it’s a decent landing spot right out of the gate.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Max Fried (elbow) will return to the Yankees’ rotation week against the White Sox

The plan is for Fried to throw 60 pitches in a rehab appearance Triple-A on Tuesday. Assuming he responds well to that outing, his next start will come with the Yankees. The left-hander has been sidelined with a bone bruise since late May, so the Yankees will be excited to have him back in the fold.

Max Fried (elbow) threw 52 pitches over three innings in his first minor league rehab start at Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

The 32-year-old southpaw allowed two runs on five hits over his three frames while striking out three batters. He threw 32 of his 52 pitches for strikes in the contest and did not walk a batter. He’s likely to require at least one additional rehab start, but if all goes well his next time out he could then be cleared to return to the Yankees’ rotation.

Max Fried (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Fried has been sidelined with a bone bruise on the back of his elbow since the middle of May. We know he threw 35 pitches in his last bullpen session, so he may be on a pitch count of around 40-50 pitches in this first outing. There’s a chance that he may only need two or three starts before returning to the Yankees, which means he could be back in New York before the end of July.

Max Fried (elbow) will face hitters on Saturday in a live batting practice session at Double-A Somerset.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said last weekend that Fried would be cleared for a rehab start after facing hitters one final time. The 32-year-old fantasy ace is working his way back from a bone bruise in his elbow that put him on the injured list back in mid-May. It seems reasonable to anticipate Fried rejoining New York’s rotation mix sometime before the end of July.

While Conine has been a fixture in the middle of the Marlins’ lineup since returning from the injured list, he’ll get a day off in this one with left-hander Nick Lodolo toeing the slab for the Reds. Leo Jimenez will start in his place at the cold corner and will bat sixth for the Marlins.

It’s the second time in the last four games that Semien has found himself left out of the starting lineup, which is at least something to monitor going forward. Brett Baty will cover second base in his absence and will bat seventh against Nationals’ right-hander Jake Irvin.

Diamondbacks selected the contract of RHP Dennis Santana from Triple-A Reno.

Santana was inked to a minor league contract last week after he elected free agency from the Pirates. While he has struggled to a 6.05 ERA over 41 2/3 innings on the season, he has proven to be a viable late-inning option in the past and could work his way into the saves mix with the Diamondbacks if he pitches well out of the gate.

Diamondbacks designated LHP Philip Abner for assignment.

Abner has struggled in eight appearances with the Diamondbacks this season, posting a 6.28 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and a 6/8 K/BB ratio across 14 1/3 innings of work. It feels like there’s a decent chance he may pass through waivers unclaimed. Dennis Santana was added to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the Yankees’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Blue Jays.

Chisholm has really been struggling at the plate recently, hitting just .125/.222/.200 with one home run, three RBI and a 16/5 K/BB ratio in 45 plate appearances since the start of August, so getting a day off to clear his head instead of facing one of the toughest pitchers in the American League makes plenty of sense. Jose Caballero will start in his place at second base and bat ninth for the Bombers on Sunday.

Tyler O’Neill is absent from the Orioles’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Rays.

It’s always mildly concerning when the oft-injured outfielder is absent from the Orioles’ starting lineup, but he has started every other game during the week and it sounds like they just wanted to give him a breather. Expect him to be back in there for Monday’s series finale.

Red Sox placed RHP Justin Slaten on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

As anticipated, Slaten hits the injured list due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. No word yet from the team on how long he’s expected to be sidelined for, but he’ll miss at least a couple of weeks. Raymond Burgos was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move to replace him in the Red Sox’ bullpen.
