Max Fried won't start this weekend. This is how the Yankees have set the rotation


Atlanta – Max Fried experiences a good, long stay in his old baseball address, but against the Braves is not on the agenda.

The Yankees-All-Star-Lefty still hopes a bubble to his left index finger and instead hopes for the pitching during the upcoming series in Toronto.

“Yes, it was something I was looking forward to,” said Fried that I was facing his ex-braves teammate in Truist Park. “If I hadn't got the bladder, I would probably have started (Friday) night.

“(It is) definitely frustrating,” said Fried, who was also selected for the all-star game, but observed it from the shelter. Nevertheless, we have to do the rest of the season that we have to worry about, and I would like to make sure I'm ready to go. “

Yankees adapt the rotation from the all-star break

When the schedule was resumed from the All-Star break on Friday, the Yankees decided to make Friday a Bullpen game, starting with Ian Hamilton.

According to manager Aaron Boone, the Yanks intended to open with rookie-starter cam Schlittler against Atlanta, but the right-hander experienced the pain in the upper right arm.

An MRI this week came back cleanly and Schlittler should go well in Toronto on Tuesday or Wednesday, said Boone.

Carlos Rodon is fresh from his goalless Inning at the All-Star game here in Truist Park and is said to present the start of series production on Monday against the Al Ost-Trefung of Blue Jays.

Schlittler developed arm pain in the week after his MLB debut starting last Friday.

“We believe that he is doing well,” said Boone, but Schlittler's state “brought the Americans to a difficult place,” said Boone, who did not want to go up the starter Warren on Saturday.

A call in the small league was considered for Friday before the decision for a Bullpen game was made.

After three Innerings in the Yankee Stadium, Fried triggered the Chicago Cubs in the Yankee Stadium last Saturday.

Fried has recovered a lot of experience in the past and said that he was “really satisfied with the progress” that he made and “definitely wants to return as soon as possible”.

Fried hadn't thrown a Bullpen meeting on Friday afternoon, but he had thrown himself out in the outer field this week.

“I would say hopefully to start in Toronto, said Fried, but” I don't want to give any definitions yet. “

The focus is now on the fact that it “looks like a normal finger”, Fried, together with “try to ensure that the skin is a bit confessed” when it heals, and “make sure that this does not reappear.”

In addition to this annoying obstacle, it was a good week for Fried that spent eight seasons in Atlanta, including a World Cup year in 2021.

“It was nice to be able to stay here through the all-star game, to spend a few days here,” said Fried, who signed an eight-year Free Agent Treaty with the Yanks in December.

“It's cool, it is different if it is on this page,” said Fried.
