Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The left-hander was limited to 14 starts due to injuries in 2023, but he stayed mostly healthy last season and finished with a 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 166:57 K:BB over 174.1 innings (29 starts). Fried has made at least 28 starts in four of the last five 162-game seasons, so availability hasn't been a consistent concern since he established himself in Atlanta's rotation. With that said, he's topped 180 innings just once in his big-league career, so he shouldn't exactly be considered a workhorse. Fried's 23.2 percent strikeout rate was on par with his career average as he continues to rely on inducing grounders (58.8 percent groundball rate), so his fantasy ceiling can be a bit limited compared to other marquee starters. That means he's a bit more reliant on the defense behind him than many top-level starters. Fried inked a long-term deal with the Yankees, who ranked 10th in outs above average last year, although it's fair to apply a slight free agent tax on him for his first year in a new pressure-packed situation.

Lined up to start Wednesday
Fried (finger) is in line to start Wednesday's game in Toronto, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Fried developed a blister on his left index finger during his final start before the All-Star break back on July 12 versus the Cubs, but the extended break has seemingly allowed him to move past the issue. After he resumed playing catch shortly after suffering the finger issue, Fried cleared up any lingering concern about his health by tossing a bullpen session in Atlanta over the weekend. The veteran southpaw heads into his start Wednesday having logged an 11-3 record with a 2.43 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 122 innings over his first 20 outings of the season.

Fried was a highly targeted pitcher by fantasy managers during 2023 draft season, and he pitched to expectations when he was out on the mound. The problem for fantasy manager is Fried was only able to make 14 starts while missing more than half the season with hamstring, forearm, and a blister issue to wrap up the regular season. Fried looked fantastic around the injuries winning 8 of those 14 starts with career-best 26% strikeout rate and finally hitting that 20% K-BB% benchmark. The career 53% groundball rate pitcher also posted a career-best 58% groundball rate last season. There is zero performance concerns for Fried in 2024, but the forearm strain from last year happened and the lefty has exceeded 170 innings just once in his career. This season is Fried's last with Atlanta before he is eligible for free agency and the fact the extension-happy Atlanta has not yet signed Fried to a deal appears to speak volumes as to what they think of his future healthwise.
