New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried throws for the first time in a simulated game since injuring his left elbow, as part of his recovery from a bone bruise. Yahoo Sports reports that Fried works in a two-inning simulation session, throwing roughly 30 pitches. This session represents another step in his return process and indicates progress in his ability to pitch after the injury. Yardbarker similarly describes the workout as an encouraging development for the Yankees, noting that Fried’s latest throwing session is tied to his ongoing recovery from the bone bruise in the left elbow. Both outlets present the simulated outing as a positive milestone and do not report any setbacks or additional complications. The news is framed around Fried’s development toward resuming normal pitching workload, with his timeline continuing to depend on how he responds after this stage of throwing and whether he advances to subsequent steps.
