Fried (5-0) earned the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Fried gave up two hits and two walks in the first frame but limited the damage to one run. He settled in over the next five innings and retired the last eight batters he faced (including three strikeouts) to earn his fourth quality start of the season. Fried has a 1.43 ERA and 1.06 WHIP, which ranks third and 14th in the American League, respectively, among qualified starters. He'll look for a sixth-straight win in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Rays.

Fried and the Yankees won't play against the Blue Jays on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday's game will be made up during a doubleheader Sunday, and Fried will start the first of the two contests. The 31-year-old southpaw threw 7.1 shutout frames during his last start against Tampa Bay and will be looking to record a fifth consecutive win Sunday.

Fried (4-0) earned a win after he pitched 7.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch while striking out two in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Fried silenced Tampa Bay for his longest outing of the 2025 campaign, never allowing a baserunner to reach second base Sunday. The left-hander has now logged three consecutive quality starts, producing an 0.85 ERA and 0.76 WHIP with 20 strikeouts over 21.1 innings during that stretch. Fried's next start is tentatively set to come Saturday at home versus Toronto.

Fried (3-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven across 6.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Both of the runs Fried yielded came in the third inning, including a solo homer by MJ Melendez. Fried managed to settle in and did not give up a run for the rest of his outing, coming away with a second-straight quality start. The 31-year-old southpaw ranks third in the majors with 28 strikeouts and has opened his Yankees tenure with a 1.88 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 24 innings. Fried will look to make it three wins in a row in his next start, which is slated for this weekend on the road against the Rays.

Fried (2-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Tigers, scattering five hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out 11 without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

In a battle of high-school teammates between Fried and Detroit right-hander Jack Flaherty, both of whom attended Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles, it was the southpaw who eventually came out on top. Fried fired 66 of 97 pitches for strikes while racking up 36 called or swinging strikes in his best performance yet in pinstripes, and his first quality start of the season. Fried will take a 1.56 ERA and dominant 21:3 K:BB through 17.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Royals.

Fried (1-0) earned the win Friday over the Pirates, allowing one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

The blemish on his line was a Bryan Reynolds solo home run in the third inning. Fried came away with a win after just missing the victory by one out in his season debut last Saturday versus the Brewers. The southpaw instead came up one out short of a quality start Friday. He's giving up a few too many baserunners early in the season, allowing 13 hits and three walks while striking out 10 over his first 10.1 innings. Fried is projected for a road start in Detroit next week.

Fried didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 20-9 win over the Brewers, giving up six runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

While the left-hander got more than enough offense to record a win in his Yankees debut, the New York defense committed five errors on the day, resulting in an elevated pitch count for Fried -- he exited after 94 pitches (56 strikes). Fried failed to last five innings in either of his first two outings of 2024, so slow starts to a season are nothing new for the 31-year-old. He'll try to provide a little more length in his next start, which is scheduled to come next weekend in Pittsburgh.

Fried completed 5.1 innings in a Grapefruit League game against Tampa Bay on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters.

EDGE Analysis

Fried fell behind early when he served up a two-run home run to Junior Caminero in the first inning, but the star hurler allowed just one more run (and no additional extra-base hits) during the remainder of his outing. Fried pitched well during his first spring with the Yankees, compiling a 3.38 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB over 16 innings. The next time he takes the mound in a game, the lefty will be making his regular-season debut for New York. That start is expected to take place Saturday versus Milwaukee.

Fried pitched four innings in a Grapefruit League game against Detroit on Thursday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out three batters.

EDGE Analysis

Fried gave up a solo home run to Gleyber Torres with one out in the first inning, but the Tigers were unable to put any additional runners on base against him. The southpaw threw 35 of his 57 pitches for strikes and sat at 94 mph with his fastball, per Statcast. Fried's role in the Yankees' rotation has taken on added importance with Gerrit Cole (elbow) slated to miss the entire 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery Thursday. Fried figures to slot in as New York's ace pitcher following Cole's injury, though the Yankees may opt to keep Fried on schedule and have another hurler start on Opening Day, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Fried tossed 2.1 innings in a Grapefruit League game against Pittsburgh on Monday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters.

EDGE Analysis

Fried's stat line in his first appearance in a Yankees uniform wasn't spectacular, though both runs that were charged to him crossed the plate after his third-inning exit. The southpaw threw 31 of his 49 pitches for strikes, with 29 of his offerings being four-seam fastballs and sinkers. Fried is penciled in to join Gerrit Cole atop the Yankees' rotation after signing an eight-year contract with New York during the offseason.
