Yankees' McMahon Out, Fried on the Mend | New York Yankees News

Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon is headed to the IL with a Grade 2 sprained thumb, likely missing at least ten days after tweaking it in a play against Baltimore. Though he’s grateful no surgery is needed and his swing was compromised, he’s frustrated about missing crucial games. Manager Aaron Boone agrees — rest is better than risking further injury or bad habits. McMahon’s been hitting .218 with 10 homers and 32 RBIs this season. To fill his spot, the Yankees called up Max Schuemann, though Cody Bellinger could return as early as Sunday. Meanwhile, pitcher Max Fried is nearing a comeback, set to throw a side session tomorrow — if all goes well, he could be back next week. He’s dealt with soreness post-start and had a similar issue earlier this season, but this time feels less severe. The team’s optimistic about his recovery and recent strong performance since returning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
