Max Fried Officially Activated From Injured List
1 year agoThe Atlanta Braves officially activated left-hander Max Fried (forearm) from the 60-day injured list on Friday. He will make his return to the starting rotation and face off against the Chicago Cubs on the road at Wrigley Field. Fantasy managers have to be stoked to be getting Fried back, although he'll be dealt a tough hand in his first matchup back against the surging Cubbies. The 29-year-old southpaw has been sidelined since May 9 due to a left-forearm strain, but he threw 79 pitches in his final minor-league rehab outing and should be able to go rather deep in Friday's game. Fried carries more risk as a starting fantasy option in his first start back, but he has the potential to be a fantasy ace the rest of the way.
