Max Fried | Fantasy Outlook

Max Fried looks to build workload as Yankees chase division title

Fried returned from his second injured list stint for an elbow bone bruise on August 29, tossing 3.2 innings of one-run ball with four strikeouts on 63 pitches against Boston. Slotting back into the middle of the rotation, the veteran left-hander provides a major lift for an 80-60 Yankees squad riding a two-game winning streak.

Arm ailments have limited Fried to 87.9 innings over 16 starts this year, but his baseline excellence remains undeniable with a stellar 2.87 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. Those pristine ratios comfortably surpass our season projection of a 3.26 ERA, proving his weak-contact mastery and refined strike-throwing remain in peak midseason form.

Fried takes the ball Friday in San Diego for a single start against Walker Buehler, who enters with an elevated 4.74 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. Even with New York carefully managing his workload, our projections slate him for five quality frames and over five strikeouts in a win-probable spot. Start.
