The Atlanta Braves have been dealt a blow to their pitching staff as Max Fried has been placed on the injured list with a blister issue. Fried, who has been a key contributor to the Braves’ success this season, is expected to miss at least two weeks of action.
Fried has been a reliable starter for the Braves this season, posting a 3.25 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 15 starts. He has been a major part of the Braves’ success this season, helping them to the best record in the National League.
The news of Fried’s injury comes at a difficult time for the Braves, as they are currently in the middle of a tight race for the NL East title. The Braves are currently tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the division.
Fried’s injury is not expected to be serious, and he is hopeful that he will be able to return in time for the postseason. The Braves are optimistic that Fried will be able to return to the mound soon, and they are confident that they can make up for his absence in the meantime.
The Braves have a deep pitching staff that should be able to handle Fried’s absence, but it is still a major blow to their chances of winning the NL East title. Fried’s injury also puts a damper on the Braves’ postseason hopes, as they will need him to be at his best if they are to make a deep run in October.
The Braves will be hoping that Fried can make a speedy recovery and return to the mound soon. If he can do so, then the Braves should be in good shape for the remainder of the season and beyond.
