Yankees to place Max Fried on 15-day IL with bone bruise

The New York Yankees will place pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow bone bruise, the team announced Friday.

Fried had scans Thursday, followed by an examination with Yankees team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad, that revealed a left elbow bone bruise.

The team said more tests in the coming weeks will determine when Fried can resume throwing.

Fried was pulled from Wednesday's 7-0 loss at Baltimore after only three innings because of soreness in his pitching elbow.

"Just a little uncomfortable, tight, especially in between innings," Fried said after the game. "It's hard for me to kind of warm up, loosen up. The first hitter of the inning would be like 88, 90, 91 [mph]. And by the end -- fourth, fifth hitter, 20 pitches in -- I'm able to kind of get things loosened up."br/]
