Fried's next scheduled start will be pushed back from Thursday to Friday at home against the Orioles, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like Atlanta just wants to give the left-hander an extra day of rest. The team has not yet decided who will start Thursday in Miami, as they want to see how they get through Wednesday's game first.

Fried (2-0) picked up the win Friday, allowing three hits and a walk over five scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Mets. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

While it wasn't an official complete game, Fried was the only Atlanta pitcher to take the mound in the rain-shortened affair, and he likely would have been good for at least one more inning had the weather cooperated -- he produced 17 swinging strikes among his 86 pitches. Fried extended his scoreless streak to 16.2 innings since returning from the IL, and the southpaw will look to continue his dominance in his next outing, likely to come next week in Miami.

Fried did not factor into the decision Sunday, tossing 6.2 scoreless innings in which he allowed three hits and three walks during a 5-2 loss to the Astros. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Fried was sharp through 6.2 scoreless innings and was pulled with 107 pitches after walking Kyle Tucker, his second free pass of the inning. The left-hander was in line for the win, but Houston tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth and went on to win after posting a three-run ninth. Since returning from the 15-day injured list, Fried has struck out nine through 11.2 scoreless innings while allowing just seven hits and three walks.

Fried (1-1) earned the win over the Padres on Monday, allowing four hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five scoreless innings in Atlanta's 2-0 victory.

EDGE Analysis

In his first start since Opening Day, Fried was held to 79 pitches but showed no signs of rust. The left-hander allowed just four baserunners, all on singles -- two of which didn't leave the infield. He retired the final 10 batters he faced and looked strong throughout, with his only limitation being a managed pitch count due to a multi-week layoff that was necessitated by a hamstring injury. Fried will likely be allowed to go deeper in his next outing, which is tentatively lined up to come at home against Houston.

Atlanta reinstated Fried (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list in advance of his scheduled start Monday in San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Reliever Lucas Luetge (bicep) was moved to the IL to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Fried, who returns after a near-minimum-length stay on the shelf due to a left hamstring strain. He didn't complete a minor-league rehab assignment while he was sidelined with the injury he picked up in Atlanta's March 30 season opener, but he was able to resume throwing less than a week after straining his hamstring and should be able to offer something approximating a normal workload in his return to the rotation Monday.

Manager Brian Snitker announced Fried (hamstring) will come off the injured list to start Monday against the Padres, Kelly Crull of Bally Sports South reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has been on the shelf since he suffered the hamstring strain during his Opening Day start, and he'll rejoin Atlanta's rotation Monday without making any rehab outings. Given the lack of buildup since suffering the injury, Fried may face some workload limitations in his first couple starts back from the injured list.

Fried (hamstring) took part in fielding drills Tuesday and could return without making a rehab start, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jumping into fielding drills seemed to be one of the final steps for Fried before making a rehab start, but it now seems that Atlanta could get its ace back earlier than expected. The 29-year-old lefty will resume covering first base Wednesday, at which point there could be a clearer picture regarding his return. He's first eligible to come off the injured list Saturday.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Fried (hamstring) has resumed throwing off a mound without issue, but the lefty hasn't yet put full stress on his leg while fielding, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taking part in fielding drills at full speed would seem to be the last step before Fried is cleared for a rehab assignment, though it's unclear when that might happen. Fried is probably looking at a late-April return from the 15-day injured list at this point.

Fried (hamstring) hasn't yet resumed mound work and is likely about two weeks away from returning, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fried has been playing catch recently but hasn't yet progressed to mound work, and there's been no indication that he's resumed running. It's unclear when he'll be able to throw off a mound, but he'll need some time to build back up before he's in consideration to return to game action.

Fried (hamstring) has been playing catch but is still unable to run, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

After straining his hamstring last week, Fried has been playing catch in order to keep his arm warm, but he also has yet to throw off a mound. He still has over a week before he can potentially return from the injured list, but it's still unclear whether or not he'll require an extended absence.
