Max Fried Throws On Sunday, Feeling Better
4 months agoAtlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried (forearm), who is eligible to come off the 15-day injured list on Friday, said he felt good after ramping up activities on Saturday and threw in the outfield before Sunday's contest against the New York Mets and showed no lingering effects of nerve inflammation. Manager Brian Snitker said he didn't know if Fried would require a minor-league rehab start once he's cleared to pitch. The 30-year-old southpaw went on the IL coming out of the All-Star break after he felt discomfort while warming up for the scoreless inning he pitched in the Midsummer Classic. Fried still has some hurdles to clear before he's back in the Braves' starting rotation, so fantasy managers are going to have to stay patient and keep him stashed in an IL spot. He's been great this year, going 7-5 with a 3.08 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 95 K's in 108 innings over his 18 starts.
