Braves place Max Fried on 15-day injured list with forearm issue

ATLANTA — Braves All-Star left-hander Max Fried has been placed on the injured list for 15 days with a forearm neuritis. The change is retroactive to Thursday, the Braves announced Sunday.

Fried (7-5, 3.08 ERA) has made 18 starts this season and is a key member of the Braves’ rotation, along with Chris Sale and Reynaldo López. The Braves lost their top pitcher Spencer Strider for the season in April after just two starts.

Fried pitched one inning in Tuesday’s All-Star game, throwing 10 pitches and allowing one hit.

Fried, who made the National League All-Star Team twice in the past three seasons, missed three months last year with a forearm injury.

He last pitched for the Braves on July 11, allowing one run on five hits in six innings during a 1-0 loss to the Diamondbacks in Arizona. He gave up a season-high 11 hits in his previous start, against the Phillies.

The Braves brought back left-hander Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Fried’s roster spot. Dodd made seven starts with the Braves in 2023 and was 2-2 with a 7.60 ERA. He is 2-7 with a 4.99 ERA this season with Gwinnett.
