Starts Against Orioles as Pickoff Attempt Injures Teammate

Max Fried started for the New York Yankees on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles, though his performance was marked by uncharacteristic struggles and a teammate's injury. During the game, Fried's pickoff attempt accidentally struck first baseman Ben Rice, resulting in a bruised left hand for the hitter. Despite Fried not being at his best and some defensive lapses behind him, the Yankees managed to continue their winning streak, though the injury to Rice remains a concern for the team.
