The Braves announced Friday that ace has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to Travis Mitchell Jersey a blister on his left index finger. Righty has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take his spot on the roster. Frieds placement on the injured list will cause some brief panic for Braves fans, but the 15-day term will expire before the National League Division Series kicks off. As such, the injury isnt likely to impact his postseason availability. Mark Bowman of MLB.com that Fried suggested his regular season might be over last night after the blister i sue flared back up, but his playoff status isnt likely to be in jeopardy. The IL stint will give Fried a couple weeks of rest before he takes the mound again likely in the first or second game of the Division Series. Atlanta has long since clinched a postseason berth, and as the NLs top seed, theyll have a bye for the Wild Card round of play. Their commanding lead in the National League will give them the luxury of skipping a couple starts for Fried and also recalling a fresh arm (Vines) to keep the pitching staff fully stocked. Frieds 2023 season has been shortened by a hamstring strain, a forearm strain and now this blister i sue. Hell finish out the year at just 77 2/3 innings, though hes been characteristically excellent when on the mound. In 14 starts, hes pitched to a pristine 2.55 ERA with a 25.7% strikeout rate, 5.8% walk rate, 57.7% ground-ball rate and 0.81 HR/9. Dating back to 2020, Fried boasts a 2.66 ERA in 484 2/3 big league innings. A suming the blister i sue heals as expected, Fried will step into a playoff rotation alongside veteran and sophomore hurler baseballs strikeout leader. Righty would be next in line, although hes at a career-high workload already and has struggled after a brilliant three-month run to begin the season. Since July 9, Elder has pitched to a 5.40 ERA in 68 1/3 frames. While Frieds absence wont impact the Braves playoff position, his placement on the IL could still impact the postseason picture as a whole. The Cubs are in a tight race with the Marlins and Reds for the final National League Wild Card spot the three teams are separated by just a half game and Chicago wouldve drawn Fried at some point during next weeks penultimate series of the season in Atlanta. Much to the chagrin of Reds and Marlins fans, the Cubs will now dodge that bullet. Marshall Warren Jersey
