Yankees' Pitching Woes: Fried Injured, Rotation Shaken
18 Aug
Summary
- Max Fried placed on 15-day IL with left elbow bone bruise.
- Fried's exit came after a start where he allowed four strikeouts.
- Carlos Rodón is set to start Tuesday against the Orioles.
The New York Yankees' pitching depth has been further tested with the placement of Max Fried on the 15-day injured list. Fried is sidelined with a left elbow bone bruise, a setback that has undoubtedly concerned the team's fanbase. He exited his most recent outing against Seattle after five innings, and it remains uncertain if the injury occurred during that start or is a lingering issue from a previous IL stint in May.
Despite this latest blow, there are signs of hope for the Yankees' starting rotation. Carlos Rodón is scheduled to make his first appearance since his own return from the injured list. Rodón is expected to take the mound for the series opener against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday, potentially providing a much-needed lift to the team's pitching efforts before Clarke Schmidt is ready to return.
