New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried is scheduled to start ALDS Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays in the Bronx, even as he and his girlfriend are expecting a baby “any day now.” Multiple reports say Fried confirms he will take the mound regardless of whether the delivery occurs before or after his scheduled start.

The outlets frame the decision in slightly different ways. Fox News and Yahoo Sports focus on Fried’s personal plans and determination not to let impending fatherhood disrupt his approach. Yardbarker and the New York Post emphasize the team context—New York faces elimination after dropping the series to Tampa Bay—and note Aaron Boone’s use of Fried for Game 3 as the Yankees look to force a swing game.
