Yankees Prepare for Red Sox Series with Max Fried Update
The New York Yankees concluded their series against the Houston Astros on Thursday night, focusing on an upcoming challenge against the Boston Red Sox. This four-game series begins on Friday at Yankee Stadium, where New York currently leads Boston by 2.5 games in the American League standings.
Saturday's schedule includes a doubleheader, with one game being a rescheduled matchup. Cam Schlittler is set to start the opener, while the Yankees have yet to confirm starters for the doubleheader. Max Fried, who has been on the injured list since August 17 due to a bone bruise in his left elbow, may return to pitch in one of the games if his bullpen session on Thursday goes well.
Fried has had a challenging season with injuries but has shown effectiveness when healthy, boasting a 2.81 ERA in 15 starts. His potential return would mark the first time this season that the Yankees have all four of their top starters available. The rivalry with the Red Sox adds intensity to this series, which could significantly impact the division standings.
