From Bryan Hoch:
The Yankees have wondered at times this season about Max Fried’s spotty command, even watching the All-Star ditch his windup in hopes of targeting the strike zone more effectively. They have greater concerns after the left-hander disappeared down the dugout tunnel after three innings on Wednesday.
Initially diagnosed with left elbow posterior soreness, Fried exited after throwing 61 pitches in the Yankees’ 7-0 loss to the Orioles at Camden Yards. He is scheduled to be examined by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and will undergo imaging in New York on Thursday.
Both in his public comments and behind the scenes, Fried indicated that he is not concerned about a lengthy absence.
“I guess you never know, but I’m definitely planning on this being sooner rather than later,” Fried said. “I don’t want to put any timelines or anything like that. I’m not too worried about a super long-term thing. If I can, I would love to be able to make my next start, but we’ll see.”
No offense to the Yankees’ shitty offense, but yesterday’s loss was really all about Fried’s injury. So let’s hope that the imaging looks good!
Giancarlo Stanton’s imaging, on the other hand, has NOT looked good, which is truly nuts. What are this dude’s tendons made out of, string cheese?!

Counting on Stanton was not a good plan.
Never was. Stanton was a big expense by Cashman to fill a non-existent hole.Would have been different if he could play the field, but being relegated to a DH only. Probably would have been better off acquiring Jeter in that trade.
Too early to congratulate the Mets on sweeping the Yankees this weekend?
