Max Fried returned from a two-month IL stint caused by a left elbow bone bruise and has now posted back-to-back three-inning outings. In his second start back, he allowed three runs on five hits across 66 pitches before being pulled. His season-low-tying performance mirrors his worst start of the year on May 13. The short outings suggest Fried may still be on a pitch or inning limit as he works back to full health.
