The New York Yankees placed left-hander Max Fried on the 15-day injured list Saturday and recalled right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The move involving Fried is retroactive to Thursday and was made after an MRI exam and CT scan revealed a left elbow bone bruise.
After getting off to a brilliant start in 2026, Fried (4-3, 3.21 ERA) struggled in May, allowing 11 earned runs and 17 hits in 14 1/3 innings over three starts. He left Wednesday's start in Baltimore after only three innings while allowing three earned runs on 61 pitches.
Fried, 32, was 4-1 with a 2.09 ERA through seven starts (47 1/3 IP) in March and April.
After spending eight years with the Atlanta Braves (2017-24), Fried signed an eight-year, $218 million contract with the Yankees prior to the 2025 campaign. He made his third All-Star team with New York, posing a 19-5 record with a 2.86 ERA in 32 starts.
Fried is 96-44 in 210 appearances (194 starts) with a 3.04 ERA in 10 major league seasons.
Rodriguez, 22, made his MLB debut on April 29, allowing two runs on four hits with four walks in four innings of a 3-0 setback to the Texas Rangers. He was optioned back to Triple-A on May 6.
Rodriguez is 0-1 with a 5.19 ERA in two games (both starts) with the Yankees this season and owns a 1-2 record with a 1.38 ERA in five appearances (all starts) in Triple-A.
