The New York Yankees place pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list due to a left elbow bone bruise. Multiple outlets report this is the second time this season that Fried lands on the IL, meaning he is again unavailable for the team’s starting rotation.
The Athletic describes the move as somewhat surprising and notes the Yankees use the 15-day designation rather than the 60-day injured list. That approach can allow a potential return within the shorter window, and the outlet says the team appears to be weighing whether Fried could still come back this year. Other reports focus primarily on the roster impact, stating the Yankees expected to have their rotation close to full strength before Fried is sidelined again.
