Max Fried Sidelined, Adding Strain to Yankees Rotation
New York's top 2024 starter is out, compounding rotation concerns that already included Cole, Rodón, and Schmidt recovering from elbow surgeries.
Max Fried, the Yankees' most valuable pitcher in 2024, is currently sidelined and unavailable to the rotation. The team began 2025 with Cole, Rodón, and Schmidt all returning from elbow surgeries, and now faces additional absences from Fried and 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil. Despite these losses, New York's rotation leads the majors in WAR at 7.5. Fried's absence is a notable concern given his importance to the staff.
