The good news is that Fried doesn\u2019t believe that the injury is serious, but you also can\u2019t take a player\u2019s word for their own injury.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the Yankees still might be in good shape if Fried has to miss some time, and MLB insider Ken Rosenthal believes that they\u2019re one of the few teams in the league that can withstand this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf all the teams in Major League Baseball, the Yankees are perhaps the best positioned to withstand a temporary loss of Max Fried,\u201d Rosenthal said on Foul Territory TV. \u201cGerrit Cole is close to coming off the IL. Carlos Rodon has come off the IL. They have in their rotation right now, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren and Ryan Weathers. You\u2019re going to have the possibility of Luis Gil coming back, he\u2019s in the minors right now.

The hope is that Fried doesn\u2019t have to miss extended time, and they can keep playing well for however long he\u2019s out.<\/p>\n<p>For now, it will be up to Rodon, Schlittler, Warren and Weathers to step up, and they\u2019ve already shown that they can handle the load when they need to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees didn\u2019t want to see Max Fried leave their game against the Baltimore Orioles with elbow soreness, especially when looking at all the other&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":186858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-186857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8YANKEES CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH: Even With Growing Uncertainty Surrounding Max Fried, MLB insider Ken Rosenthal Still Believes The Yankees\u2019 Rotation Has Everything Needed To Stay Dangerous This Season.
