The New York Yankees received a much-needed boost amid their current five-game losing streak.
On Tuesday, three-time MLB All-Star Max Fried threw a live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium before the team’s game against the Detroit Tigers. This marks a significant step forward in his recovery from a left elbow bone bruise.
New York Post Sports reported: “Max Fried was seen throwing live BP at Yankee Stadium today. He’s recovering from a left elbow bone bruise.”
Manager Aaron Boone provided further details, confirming that Fried will throw another live session on Sunday. Fried’s last MLB appearance came on May 13.
Prior to the injury, Fried had been enjoying a strong start to the 2026 season, posting a 4-3 record with a 3.21 ERA across 10 starts. According to MLB.com, he remains on track for a potential return in July.
Fried is in his second season with the Yankees after signing as a free agent following eight years with the Atlanta Braves, where he won the 2021 World Series. His return will be a major addition to New York’s rotation as the team looks to stabilize their performance.
This positive development comes as the Yankees (currently 48-36, second in the AL East) seek to end their recent skid and regain momentum. Fans will be eagerly watching Fried’s progress in the coming days.
