New York Yankees left-hander Max Fried starts a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. According to reports from Yahoo Sports, Fried, who has been on the injured list since May 15, pitches his first rehab start Friday at PNC Field. He delivers three innings for the RailRiders, returning to action after being sidelined with a bone bruise in his left pitching elbow. The reports also note that this outing is Fried’s first rehab start since he went on the IL in May.
In the same game coverage, the RailRiders defeat Worcester 7-6. Fried’s appearance is listed as 3.0 innings, consistent across the accounts. The Yankees’ plan centers on using the assignment to build innings and assess Fried’s health and readiness while he works back from the elbow injury.
