Alarm bells went off a couple of days ago when the Atlanta Braves scratched Max Fried from his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox, and now we know why: The NL Cy Young contender has been placed on the 15-day IL with a forearm strain.
The #Braves today recalled LHP Danny Young to Atlanta and placed LHP Max Fried on the 15-day injured list, backdated to May 6, with a strained left forearm.
