After a groin injury on Opening Day set him back a couple of weeks, Max Fried had looked every bit the part of an NL Cy Young candidate for the Atlanta Braves this season, with a 2.08 ERA over his first five starts. But the lefty now finds himself back on the IL, and unfortunately this one looks like it could be a much more extended absence.
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.
