Max Fried Begins Minor League Rehab Assignment for Elbow Injury

Yankees left-hander Max Fried has officially begun a minor-league rehab assignment, logging three innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Fried has been on the 15-day injured list since May 15 due to a bone bruise in his left elbow. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Fried will make at least two rehab starts before the team decides on his return. Among all Yankees currently on the injured list, Fried is considered the most likely to return to the active roster first.
