3 months agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left forearm neuritis. In a corresponding move, the Braves promoted left-handed pitcher Dylan Dodd from Triple-A. This transaction was backdated to July 18, which could set up an early August return for Fried. The 30-year-old has posted a strong 3.08 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 34:95 BB:K ratio across 108 frames this season. At Triple-A, Dodd has logged 83 innings to the tune of a 4.99 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. The 26-year-old could contend for the fifth spot in the rotation with Bryce Elder, who has struggled in the majors this season with a hefty 6.35 ERA.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
