Yankees' Fried Nears Return From Injury
8 Jun
Summary
- Max Fried is increasing his throwing to 120 feet this week.
- Imaging will determine if Fried is ready to return to the mound.
- Aaron Judge is out for over a month with a ribcage injury.
New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried is making significant strides in his recovery from a left elbow bone bruise. As of this week, Fried is advancing his throwing program to 120 feet. Further imaging tests are scheduled to evaluate his condition and determine his readiness to resume pitching.
Fried had been performing well for the Yankees prior to his injury last month. His potential return would be a welcome boost for the team, which is currently navigating a challenging period.
The Yankees are also contending with the absence of superstar Aaron Judge. Judge is expected to be out of the lineup for more than a month while recovering from a ribcage injury. The team's strategy moving forward, including potential trade acquisitions, remains uncertain.
The Yankees will conclude their series against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday before facing the Cleveland Guardians on Monday.
