Max Fried Lined Up to Start Game 3 or 4 of ALDS for Yankees

Following a sweep of the Boston Red Sox in the AL wild-card series, Max Fried is set to receive extended rest before taking the mound for the New York Yankees in the ALDS against the Tampa Bay Rays. Manager Aaron Boone plans to utilize Gerrit Cole in Game 1 and Cam Schlittler in Game 2, positioning Fried to start either Game 3 or Game 4 at Yankee Stadium as part of a four-man rotation strategy aimed at advancing to the ALCS.
