Atlanta has not yet revealed when Fried (forearm/illness) will make his next rehab start, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fried had been scheduled to make his final rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday but was scratched from that outing because he was under the weather. Presumably, the illness will push back the left-hander's return from the 60-day injured list for at least a few days, although a target date for Fried's activation hasn't yet been identified.

Fried (forearm) has been scratched from a scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday due to an illness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rehab start was supposed to be his last before he returned from the 60-day injured list early next week, but his bout with the illness could throw a wrench into those plans. Provided that Fried doesn't need to be pushed back more than a day or two, he should still be able to rejoin Atlanta's rotation at some point next week. The team plans to announce Thursday or Friday when Fried will make his next rehab start. The lefty has allowed three runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 7.2 frames in his first three rehab outings.

Fried (forearm) will make a fourth rehab start at Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fried made his last rehab start Friday and tossed 65 pitches over 3.1 innings with the Triple-A club. His start in the minors Wednesday could be his final tune-up before he's cleared to rejoin the major-league club. The southpaw made five starts with Atlanta before landing on the injured list in early May, and he posted a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 26 innings.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Saturday that Fried (forearm) will likely make one more rehab start, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
There had been some hope that Fried might be able to return to Atlanta's starting rotation next week in Boston, but he only lasted 3.1 innings (65 pitches) in his latest rehab outing Friday with Triple-A Gwinnett. The 29-year-old southpaw has been on the injured list since early May due to a left forearm strain.

Fried (forearm) allowed three earned runs over 3.1 innings in his third rehab start Friday at Triple-A Gwinnett.
EDGE Analysis
Fried surrendered six hits -- including two homers -- but he tallied five strikeouts without issuing a walk and ran his pitch count up to 65. On the shelf since early May because of a left forearm strain, the 29-year-old could potentially return to Atlanta's starting rotation next week at Boston. He had registered a sharp 2.08 ERA and 25:6 K:BB through 26 innings (five starts) for the NL East leaders prior to this lengthy IL stint.

Fried (forearm) will not make his scheduled rehab outing with Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday because the was postponed, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fried was scheduled to work five innings, though the game was postponed due to rain. Gwinnett will play a doubleheader Friday, and it's expected that Fried will start in one of the contests. If everything goes according to plan, he is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation within the next week.

Fried (forearm) is slated to pitch five innings in his next rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Gwinnett, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
If he reaches that goal and all goes smoothly, Fried could return to Atlanta's starting rotation next week in Boston. Sidelined since early May because of a left forearm strain, the 29-year-old southpaw has worked 4.1 scoreless innings with four strikeouts through his first two rehab outings.

Fried (forearm) struck out three over three scoreless frames in a rehab start with High-A Rome on Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander yielded two hits on the evening and didn't issue a walk. Fried needed only 30 pitches to get through his three innings, so he threw some more in the bullpen after the game in order to build up a little more. He certainly needs to get stretched out more, but Fried has looked good in two rehab starts in tossing 4.1 scoreless innings.

Fried (forearm) will make his next rehab start with High-A Rome on Saturday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fried's first rehab start was at Triple-A Gwinnett, but they're on the road this weekend so the lefty will stay closer to home for his second outing. He threw 35 pitches in his first rehab outing, so Fried should be able to get up to around 50 pitches Saturday. The southpaw is tracking toward a return later this month.

Fried (forearm) covered 1.1 scoreless innings and struck out a batter while allowing one hit and two walks in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett.
EDGE Analysis
After estimating that he threw around 30 pitches Tuesday in a live batting practice session, Fried bumped his workload up a bit in his first rehab start, tossing 35 pitches (18 strikes). According to Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fried averaged around 94 miles per hour with his four-seam fastball and topped out at 96 mph, with those readings sitting roughly in line with his velocity before he landed on the injured list May 9 with a left forearm strain. Fried will likely need two more rehab starts to build up his pitch count before potentially slotting back into the Atlanta rotation in the final week of July.
