Fried Back in Action After Brief Injury | New York Yankees News

Max Fried, the Yankees’ ace pitcher, made a surprise return to the mound just 12 days after being placed on the injured list—tying his elbow issue to a single problematic pitch. In a crucial Saturday night win, he tossed 3⅓ innings, struck out four, and allowed just one earned run, despite a slight dip in velocity (93.8 mph vs. his usual 95). His cutter was slower too, but he kept the Red Sox in check with minimal walks. Fried feels sharp and confident, calling it a minor setback with no need for further rest. Manager Aaron Boone praised his performance, calling it exactly what the team needed. With momentum building, the Yankees are hopeful Fried can reclaim his form—and dominate the rest of the season.
