Max Fried Sidelined, Adding Strain to Yankees Rotation

New York's most valuable 2024 starter is out, compounding rotation injury concerns alongside Luis Gil's absence.

Max Fried, the Yankees' top pitcher by value in 2024, is currently sidelined with an undisclosed issue. Luis Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, is also out. The Yankees began 2025 already without Cole, Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt due to elbow surgeries. Despite these absences, New York's rotation leads MLB in WAR at 7.5.
