"Max Fried exited the game with left elbow posterior soreness, the Yankees announced. He will be examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad and undergo imaging tomorrow in New York.- Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) May 13, 2026"
"This scenario does not always lead to a serious diagnosis and surgery, but obviously we have seen this kind of thing play out that way before. Yankees fans are understandably nervous about their 32-year-old ace, who has been a monster since he joined the team before the 2025 season."
"Moreover, like the Cubs, the Yankees have questions about who is coming back to the rotation, when, and how effective they will be. In other words, this is an organization that is very likely to be competing with the Cubs in the same trade market(s) in July *IF* they were to lose Max Fried for a significant period of time."
Max Fried exited his start with left elbow posterior soreness. The Yankees announced he will be examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad and undergo imaging in New York tomorrow. The situation does not always result in a serious diagnosis or surgery, but similar elbow issues have previously led to significant outcomes. Yankees fans are concerned because Fried is a 32-year-old ace and has been highly effective since joining the team before the 2025 season. The Yankees are competing at a high level and want to avoid rotation injuries derailing their season. They also face uncertainty about who will return to the rotation, when, and how effective they will be. If Fried misses significant time, the Yankees could become active in July trade markets, potentially competing with the Cubs.
