Max Fried Set to Return Saturday in Yankees-Red Sox Doubleheader
Fried is coming off a bone bruise in his pitching elbow but recovered faster than his earlier 2025 absence, which lasted two months.
The Yankees placed Fried on the 15-day IL on Aug. 17 (retroactive to Aug. 14) with a bone bruise in his pitching elbow. He is now cleared to return and will start one game of Saturday's doubleheader against Boston. Fried carries a 2.81 ERA across 15 starts this season, with strong strikeout and ground-ball metrics. His activation comes as the Yankees hold a slim two-game Wild Card lead over the Red Sox.
