NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees left-hander Max Fried will be sidelined for at least two weeks and perhaps longer because of a bone bruise of his left elbow. The 32-year-old had an MRI and CT scan Thursday, a day after he cut short a start at Baltimore following the third inning. He also was examined by Yankees team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad. New York said Friday that Fried will be placed on the 15-day injured list and the imaging will be reviewed by Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The Yankees said repeat imaging will be taken in a few weeks or when Fried is asymptomatic to determine when he can resume throwing. A more specific return projection will be determined then. Fried is 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 10 starts this season after going 19-5 with a 2.86 ERA and making the All-Star team in his first season after leaving Atlanta to sign a $218 million, eight-year contract with the Yankees. New York appears to have decent starting depth. Carlos Rodón rejoined the Yankees’ rotation last weekend after recovering from surgery last October to remove loose bodies in his left elbow and shave a bone spur. Gerrit Cole is nearing a return from elbow ligament replacement surgery in March 2025. Cole has made five minor league rehab starts, and Boone said the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner will make two or three more. Cole is scheduled to start Saturday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. New York’s rotation also includes , and . , the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, has been in the minors for much of the season and was placed on the injured list last Friday because of right shoulder inflammation. \\_ AP MLB:
