New York Yankees ace Max Fried has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow bone bruise.

Fried missed time in May due to a similar left elbow bone bruise, causing him to miss around two months of action.

He’s made five starts since returning. In his latest outing last Thursday, went five innings, walking two batters, striking out four and allowing only one earned run on five hits. He threw 88 pitches.

Carlos Rodon, who missed time due to hamstring and elbow injuries, is set to return tomorrow and will slot into the vacated spot in the rotation.
