MAX FRIED NEWS

Not ready for mound work Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that he's unsure when Fried (forearm) will be cleared for mound work, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fried hasn't suffered a setback, but he'll remain limited to flat-ground throwing for a little while longer as he aims to make a setback-free recovery from the left forearm strain that sent him to the 15-day injured list in early May. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, which served as confirmation that the 29-year-old southpaw will be sidelined through at least the early part of July.

Transferred to 60-day IL Fried was transferred to the 60-day injured list by Atlanta on Monday.

Impact The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Luke Williams. Fried is throwing again as he works his way back from a left forearm strain, but it's going to take a while. He's now not eligible for activation until early July.

Begins throwing program Fried (forearm) played catch on flat ground Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fried is basically going to have to build up from scratch after being shut down for more than two weeks with a left forearm strain, but at least that process has begun. The initial expectation was that Fried would miss a couple of months, but he might be ready to return sometime before the end of June if all goes well with this throwing progression. He landed on the injured list May 9, having logged a brilliant 2.08 ERA and 25:6 K:BB through 26 innings (five starts) this season with Atlanta.

Close to resuming throwing Fried (forearm) is close to resuming throwing, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Brien adds of Fried that "it seems realistic to expect him back sometime around the All-Star break," although that's certainly a rough timetable for now. The left-hander landed on the injured list two weeks ago with a strained left forearm and recently was cleared to resume lifting weights. He'll need to go through a full throwing progression and undoubtedly will require a rehab assignment before rejoining Atlanta's rotation.

Begins lifting weights Fried (forearm) has been able to lift weights, but there's been no sign he's close to resuming throwing, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Fried hit the injured list in early May with a strained left forearm, and while he's yet to be placed on the 60-day injured list, initial reports suggested he'd miss at least two months. It's a positive to see him beginning to work his way back, but manager Brian Snitker didn't know when the lefty was set to be re-evaluated, so it doesn't appear as though he's about to be cleared to throw.

Braves pitchers Max Fried, Kyle Wright expected to miss at least two months

Braves left-hander Max Fried landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a strained forearm.

MAY 10, 2023

Out at least two months Fried (forearm) is expected to be sidelined for at least two months, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fried landed on the injured list Tuesday with a strained left forearm and it would appear Atlanta isn't expecting to get their ace back anytime soon. It's not clear how long the southpaw will be shut down, but he'll have to be built back up after that before going out on a rehab assignment. A two-month timetable would put Fried back just ahead of the All-Star break.

Lands on IL with forearm strain Fried was placed on the 15-day injured list by Atlanta on Tuesday with a strained left forearm.

Impact Atlanta had been cagey about whether Fried would be making his next start and now we know what he's been dealing with. The move is retroactive to May 6, which means Fried will be eligible to return May 21. Whether he'll be ready at that point, though, would seem to be very much up in the air. Jared Shuster has been mentioned as a likely rotation replacement for Fried on Wednesday versus the Red Sox.

Impact Fried surrendered seven runs (five earned) across six-plus innings last Friday against the Orioles, but there was no indication after the contest he might be dealing with the injury. Atlanta has scheduled off days Monday and Thursday this week, so the team could simply be weighing whether or not to give their ace some extra rest. There's no injury to report at the moment, but it's worth keeping an eye on Fried until the team provides some more information on his next outing.

Lit up for seven runs Fried (2-1) allowed seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks over six-plus innings Friday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Orioles.

Impact Fried coughed up just one run through three innings before being taken deep by Anthony Santander in the fourth. Baltimore then scored seven runs in the seventh frame, with five of them going on Fried's final line despite him not recording an out in the inning. After the ugly outing, the 29-year-old lefty saw his season ERA jump from 0.45 to 2.08 alongside a 25:6 K:BB. He had turned in three straight scoreless starts entering Friday's contest. Fried's next start is currently scheduled for next week at home against Boston.

Goes distance in rain-shortened win Fried (2-0) picked up the win Friday, allowing three hits and a walk over five scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Mets. He struck out seven.

Impact While it wasn't an official complete game, Fried was the only Atlanta pitcher to take the mound in the rain-shortened affair, and he likely would have been good for at least one more inning had the weather cooperated -- he produced 17 swinging strikes among his 86 pitches. Fried extended his scoreless streak to 16.2 innings since returning from the IL, and the southpaw will look to continue his dominance in his next outing, likely to come next week in Miami.
