Max Fried coming off IL after two months in enormous Yankees boost

Well, well, well, look what the rain brought in. Max Fried will come off the injured list Wednesday to start the second game of a doubleheader against the Pirates at Yankee Stadium, getting activated earlier than planned as the Yankees pivoted after Tuesday’s washout. The lefty will likely be on a pitch count around 60, but instead of throwing them for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, which was originally the plan, the club pivoted and announced Fried as their Game 2 starter after Gerrit Cole starts the opener.
