Fried’s Struggles and Recovery | New York Yankees News

Max Fried battled through a rough outing, lasting just three innings and throwing 80 pitches—48 of them in the strike zone—while striking out seven but allowing one run and one hit. He admitted to throwing some non-competitive pitches, leading to deep counts, and didn’t want to burden the bullpen. Despite the short outing, Fried’s consistency since returning from elbow surgery remains strong, allowing just one run in each of his last three starts. He showed flashes of his Cy Young form, including a four-strikeout streak, but also walked leadoff hitters in his final two innings. Though he’s winless in 11 starts—a stark contrast to his dominant 2023 season—he’s kept runs low, allowing fewer than two in his last five outings. Fried feels confident in his progress and trusts the team’s plan to get him fully healthy for the playoffs, even if he’d like to speed things up.
