Fried (not injury related) was cleared to return to camp Saturday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fried was away from the team for several days after a "potential exposure" to somebody infected with COVID-19. However, he tested negative several times and will now be able to rejoin the team for workouts. The southpaw will likely complete at least one side session prior to making his spring debut, but he's expected to be ready for Opening Day.
