ATLANTA – Once a left ankle injury forced Max Fried out after Wednesday night’s 9-4 win over the Marlins, the clear question was whether he was ready to start next week’s Wild Card Series 1 game. “We will look into it tomorrow
Atlanta – Pushing a left ankle injury once
“We’ll check it out tomorrow and get out of there,” said Braves manager Brian Snyder. “I hope everything is fine. Predictors are good, but we’ll learn more tonight. “
Fried was not available to speak to the media as he was taken to a facility away from the stadium for further evaluation.

This is an issue that the Brave will closely monitor as they prepare to enter the postseason with what was already weak circulation. For now, the hope is that Freud’s early exit from his last regular-season start was a precautionary measure to prevent his left ankle from intensifying, which he turned while fielding Starling Martena B field.
Friday initially persuaded to stay in the game. But with just a week to go before the Wild Card series, the Braves looked set to take a cautious approach with their NL Sai Young Award nominee, due to fall to the back of the knee list earlier this month.

“It was like, ‘I’ll give it a try.'” Snyder said. “I said if you don’t know you can go, we won’t check it out or work with it. That is [the last thing] All he needed was to injure his hand while trying to get there. “
If Friday had continued the pitch, he would have been less likely to be in full force when the Wild Card series begins on Wednesday. And if not ready to start Fried Game 1? Well, if you follow the brave, you know there is no answer to this question.

It looks like the Braves will start with Fried, Ian Anderson and Kyle Wright in the best-of-three wild card series. Anderson has been effective in three of the five starts of his career, and Wright’s candidacy in the postseason rotation over the past two weeks has been questionable. Cole Hamels was in the mix before his very short season, in which he made a start, ending this week due to left shoulder fatigue.
So, most of the pressure is on Fried, as he has since when Mike Soroka tore his right Achilles tendon in the third start of his season. Fried has better handled the added responsibility, solid N.L. in the last few months. Sai Young has spent the award resuming.
But these last few weeks have not been so much fun for Fried, who was placed on the list of injured after his momentum sank when he retreated during the start against the civilians on September 5th. The average of his four seamers that night.5..5. m miles, from its previous eight starts.4.4.4. m miles average product.
In the two starts he made after returning from the injured list, Fried’s fastball ball sat at about 92.9 miles per hour. But the latest trip included only 22 pitches, half of which were four seamers.
Immediately after turning the ankle while turning Mart’s Bunt out, Fried allowed Jesus and Brian Enderson to run home from behind. He entered the match against Aguilar after not allowing any of the previous 220 batsmen he faced this year to run home.
Because of those solo homers, the sub-2.00 ERA carried by Fried over the past few months has risen to 2.25. How he didn’t want to end the season, but as long as his left ankle cooperates, he’ll have a chance to finish the year in an even more appropriate fashion.
