he New York Yankees are emerging from the All-Star break with some real urgency to reboot their season.

During a harsh stretch leading into the break, the Yankees gave up their lead in the American League East division and will have to contend with some significant needs in the infield and the bullpen with the trade deadline rapidly approaching. And the Yankees are looking to navigate the second half of the season with a new outlook for staff ace Max Fried as well.

Since joining the team this past offseason and stepping in for the injured Gerrit Cole, Fried has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, with a 2.43 ERA across 20 starts so far. But after exiting his latest start early with a blister issue, the team has announced it will be changing the way it evaluates his health between starts moving forward.

“You’re paying close attention in more ways than one now,” manager Aaron Boone said of monitoring Fried for the remainder of the season, per Pete Caldera of NorthJersey.com.

Despite some extensive history with injuries in Fried’s nine-year career, the Yankees have pushed him to eat up the third-most innings of any player in the majors so far this season. Following his injury, Boone suggested Fried might still eclipse his career innings ceiling by the end of the year but that the team will be more cautious with his totals moving forward.

“He’s in the prime of his career and I think he’s an athlete that can handle it,” Boone said, according to Caldera. “That being said, you’re extremely mindful of it.”

The decision to bring Fried in has looked like a great one, given the injuries to the rest of the Yankees’ rotation. But now, dealing with his own setback, the southpaw will have to dial things back a bit to ensure he’s healthy for the playoffs.
