Game Preview
Atlanta’s rotation will receive a long-awaited boost on Friday when the Braves begin a three-game road series against the Chicago Cubs.
After missing nearly three months with a strained left forearm, left-hander Max Fried (2-1, 2.08 ERA) is set to return. He began his minor league rehab stint with an outing for Class-A Rome before giving up five runs over nine innings in three games for Triple-A Gwinnett.
“I feel like I’ve been able to get a really good test of how my pitches are working in the zone against guys,” Fried said. “Now, I’m just going to go out there and trust it at Wrigley. I’ll definitely have some butterflies and jitters before I go out there.” Fried, 29, is 4-0 with a stellar 1.57 ERA in four career starts against the Cubs.
