The New York Yankees have placed left-handed pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his left elbow. The move is retroactive to Friday, following Fried’s start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, when he allowed five hits over five innings. Fried has compiled a 4-4 record with a 2.81 ERA across 15 starts in his second season with the Yankees.

In a corresponding roster adjustment, the team announced that left-hander Carlos Rodón will be activated from the injured list to start against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Initially, the Yankees had planned for Rodón to participate in a minor league rehab start on that day. Rodón, who is in the fourth year of a six-year, $162 million contract, has posted a 4-2 record with a 3.30 ERA over nine starts this season. He missed the first month of the campaign as he recovered from offseason surgery on his elbow.

The move signals the Yankees' intent to bolster their starting rotation as they navigate a critical stretch of the season. With Fried sidelined, the return of Rodón offers additional depth for the pitching staff. The team will monitor Fried’s condition as he embarks on his injury recovery period.
