Max Fried Has Left Elbow Surgery, Expected Ready for Spring Training

New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried underwent minor surgery recently to remove a bone spur from his left elbow, general manager Brian Cashman announced Tuesday. Fried endured two stints on the injured list in 2026 due to a bone bruise in his pitching elbow, finishing his campaign with a 2.80 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and a 104:33 K:BB over 112.2 regular-season innings. He is expected to begin a throwing program in December and be fully ready for the start of spring training.
