Braves Ace Fried Placed on Injured List With Strained Forearm

Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried was placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained left forearm on Wednesday.
Fried's injury is not expected to require Tommy John surgery, but he is expected to miss extended time.
Left-handed pitcher Danny Young was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Fried's spot on the roster.
The Braves pitching staff has been depleted recently due to injuries, including starter Kyle Wright also being placed on the injured list.
Despite the injuries, the Braves remain in first place in the National League East with a 24-11 record and a seven-game lead.
