Max Fried Returns to Injured List with Elbow Bruise, Yankees Adjust Rotation

The New York Yankees have placed pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list due to a left elbow bone bruise, a recurrence of an injury that previously sidelined him for 10 weeks this season. This decision is retroactive to August 14, as Fried had just made his fifth start since returning from the earlier injury.

Fried had shown promising form upon his return, allowing only five runs and striking out 29 batters over 24 2/3 innings. However, the latest setback raises concerns about the remainder of his season, with further updates expected in the coming days. Carlos Rodon is set to take Fried's place in the rotation and will start against the Baltimore Orioles after missing approximately six weeks due to elbow inflammation.

In other injury news, Rockies player Goodman was scratched from the lineup against the Dodgers due to ongoing left shoulder inflammation, marking his fourth consecutive game missed. Manager Warren Schaeffer has labeled Goodman as day-to-day, leaving fantasy managers on alert.

Additionally, Soderstrom has been placed back on the injured list with a left hip impingement, following a previous stint earlier this season for the same issue. Darell Hernaiz has been recalled to fill his spot on the roster, while Carlos Cortes is expected to see more playing time in left field.

Guerrero was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list after a collision at third base during a game against the Yankees, while Cabrera has been sidelined due to a blister on his right middle finger, also landing on the 15-day injured list. Despite these challenges, the team is hopeful for the return of Palencia from the 60-day injured list this week.
