Max Fried of the New York Yankees just landed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow bone bruise, a rough blow for their rotation, especially after he just pitched against our Seattle Mariners last Thursday. This is exactly the kind of news that sends shivers down a team’s spine, no matter who you are.
Fried’s Last Outing Against Our M’s
This isn’t just some random IL stint, folks. Fried’s last start was exactly that, against our boys in blue and green. He went five innings last Thursday, giving up five hits, two walks, and one earned run while striking out four before he exited the game. The Yankees PR department made it official, placing their lefty on the 15-day IL, retroactive to August 14th. It’s not clear if the injury happened during that game or if it’s a lingering issue from his May IL stint, but either way, it’s a gut punch for New York.
Yankees Scrambling For Pitching Help
With Fried out, the Yankees are definitely feeling the pinch in their rotation. All hope isn’t completely lost for them, though, with Carlos Rodón set to return. He’s making his first start since coming off the IL on Tuesday against the Orioles. Yankees fans gotta be crossing their fingers he can make an immediate impact, especially with Clarke Schmidt still out. Talk about a rotation in flux. For our M’s, we gotta keep our eyes on how these other teams are shaking up their rosters, you know?
It’s always interesting to see what happens when key players go down, especially right after facing our squad. While the Yankees are focused on Rodón’s return against the Orioles on Tuesday to hopefully stabilize things, it’s a reminder that every pitch, every inning, matters. Let’s keep cheering on our M’s!
