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.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on Fried’s injury status.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
