Max Fried Returns from IL to Start Wednesday's Doubleheader

Yankees southpaw Max Fried will return from the 15-day injured list to start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, bypassing his final rehab start. Sidelined since May 16 with an elbow injury and bone bruise, Fried's return provides a significant boost to the New York rotation. The team accelerated his recovery timeline to rejoin the big league club earlier than the initial projections of next week.
