Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (groin) was activated from the 10-day disabled list on Monday and was then optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. Fried has been good for the Braves this year, going 1-4 with a 3.14 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings over 10 appearances (five starts). He'll be an option for spot starts next month and can be utilized in deeper leagues as a streamer if the matchup is right.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (groin) allowed three earned runs on four hits while walking four and striking out five in 4 1/3 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. It's not the cleanest outing for the young left-hander, but he's closer to rejoining the Braves. Fried was 1-4 with a clean 3.14 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings over 10 outings (five starts) in his second season. If he rejoins the rotation, the southpaw has strikeout upside as a streamer in the right matchups in deeper leagues.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (groin) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. Fried just landed on the disabled list on Aug. 7 and is making a very quick recovery from a groin strain. The young left-hander has been great for the Braves this year, going 1-4 with a 3.14 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 36 strikeouts over 10 outings (five starts). He can be useful in deep mixed and NL-only leagues down the stretch if he returns in a starting role.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (groin) could be making a rehab start soon. Fried was placed on the disabled list on August 8, but just five days later he's already shown signs of progress. Due to his quick progression from a left groin strain, he might be in line for a rehab start at Triple-A Gwinnett. The 24-year-old Fried went 1-4 with a 3.14 ERA before going down. He has nasty stuff though, as evidenced by his 36 strikeouts in just five games. Fried's progression will probably mean that pitching prospect Touki Toussaint's days on the major league rotation are numbered (he's set to start against the Miami Marlins on Monday), but both pitchers have great value in dynasty leagues.

Fried (groin) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

The Atlanta Braves placed starting pitcher Max Fried (groin) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a left groin strain. Reliever Shane Carle (shoulder) was also put on the DL with right shoulder inflammation, while pitchers Adam McCreery and Wes Parsons were called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. Fried took a comebacker to his midsection during his start Tuesday and pitched two scoreless innings against the Nationals. Prospects Kolby Allard or Touki Toussaint could be options to replace Fried in the rotation. Toussaint and Allard are the No. 7 and 8 prospects in the organization, respectively.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (groin) is doubtful for his next start after suffering a strained groin during his start on Tuesday. Kolby Allard and Touki Toussaint could both be options for a spot start. Fried tossed two scoreless innings against the Nationals but was forced to leave after being hit by a comebacker. The left-hander has been decent with a 3.38 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings in nine outings (four starts) for the Braves.

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (groin) left his start early on Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader with a left groin strain after pitching just two scoreless innings. He was hit in the midsection by a comebacker and walked toward the dugout under his own power after recording the out. The left-hander was making his first start since July 28 against the Dodgers. He's been decent with a 3.14 ERA and 11.30 K/9 in 28 2/3 innings, but he won't be an option in mixed leagues unless he's a permanent part of the rotation.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried is expected to start against the Marlins on Tuesday, according to manager Brian Snitker. Luiz Gohara, who was initially expected to start Tuesday, showed diminished velocity in his last start with Triple-A Gwinnett. Fried has only tossed 20 2/3 innings at the major league level this year and gave up four runs and four hits in three innings against the Brewers in his last start July 5. The lefty has a great matchup against Miami, but he's still a mediocre streaming option in deeper leagues. Gohara has swing-and-miss upside but has been poor in the majors and minors this year. He could become an option in deeper leagues later this season if he enters the rotation.

Fried (finger) tossed 4.2 scoreless, no-hit innings for Triple-A Gwinnett in his rehab start Wednesday for the affiliate. He struck out six and walked three in the 76-pitch outing.

Fried was put on the 10-day DL on Friday due to a left middle finger blister.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried has been placed on the disabled list with a blister on his left middle finger. Fried left his start early on Thursday and now the reasoning is made clear. Fried has pitched to a 1-3 record with a 3.92 ERA and 25/13 K/BB ratio in 2018, making him a reasonable drop candidate at this time. There has been no word on who will take his place in the rotation.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried wasn't sharp on Thursday. He gave up four runs over the course of his three innings of work. The team later revealed that part of the problem was that he developed a blister on his middle finger, a recurring problem over the course of his career. The team is not certain he's going to need a stint on the disabled list, but they don't know if he can take the ball for his next time on the hill, which would be Wednesday. Stay tuned.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried was originally only supposed to make a spot start on Saturday before relinquishing his rotation role. Fried clearly changed his manager's mind with his 11-strikeout performance through 6 2/3 shutout innings. Fried will be on the mound on Thursday when the Braves take on the Milwaukee Brewers. While it is nice to see him earn another start, the Brewers are a very scary team to stream against. He now has a solid 2.55 ERA on the year, but it is probably best to avoid streaming him Thursday.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried, who was called up on Saturday, had a much better outing than his previous attempts. He struck out eleven St. Louis hitters over the course of his 6 2/3 innings. He did walk three, but that's small potatoes when one is staked an eight-run lead. The outing dropped his ERA all the way down to 2.55 and if manager Brian Snitker decides he deserves another chance he'll likely face Milwaukee on the road. Yeah, those Brewers who sit atop their division. It might be good to wait and see.

Following the trip to the disabled list for Atlanta Braves pitcher Brandon McCarthy (knee), Max Fried is expected to be recalled to start Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Fried has a 4.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 11 innings with the Major League team in 2018. The left-hander would be a very risky start in St. Louis and isn't worth rushing to the waiver wire to pick up.

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Max Fried struck out 11 batters over seven innings on Thursday for Triple-A Gwinnett. Fried also allowed three hits, one run and didn't allow a walk. Fried is now 2-3 with a 4.23 ERA in seven starts with 39 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings. He remains one of the better pitching prospects in a talented Braves farm system. Fried is more of a name for dynasty league owners, as he would need an injury or two to make an impact in 2018.
