Yankees place Max Fried on injured list as Carlos Rodón returns

The New York Yankees placed pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his elbow, backdating the move to August 14. This follows the team's announcement of Carlos Rodón's imminent return from the injured list. Fried has been effective since returning from an earlier injury, posting a 1.82 ERA in five starts. The timing of this setback poses a challenge as the Yankees rely on their pitching staff amid offensive struggles. Manager Aaron Boone will likely provide more information about Fried on Tuesday.
