Fried (9-10) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Fried didn't receive any run support from his offense but generally lacked command, throwing 57 strikes and generating only eight whiffs on 98 pitches. He has yielded three earned runs or fewer in seven of his past 10 outings but has just two wins to show for it. On the season, the southpaw owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 151:54 K:BB across 159.2 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup with the Marlins this weekend.

Fried (9-9) took the loss against Washington on Wednesday, allowing four runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Fried kept the Nationals off the scoreboard through two frames, but he gave up at least one run in each of the following three innings. The 11 hits allowed by the southpaw tied a season-worst mark, and the outing snapped a five-game streak of yielding three or fewer runs. Fried did at least manage to continue to eat up innings, as he's now gone at least six frames in four of his past five starts.

Fried (9-8) earned the win in Friday's 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing one unearned run on five hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

After posting a mediocre 4.96 ERA across 32.2 August innings, Fried returned to ace form in this 104-pitch performance, generating an impressive 16 whiffs en route to his eight punchouts. The Atlanta southpaw picked up his 13th quality start, as he's now pitched to a 3.35 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 138:51 K:BB over 147.2 innings this season. Fried currently projects to make his next start against the Nationals on the road next week.

Fried (8-8) allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over seven innings to take the loss versus Philadelphia on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Fried has walked three or more batters in four of his six starts since returning from a forearm injury. This was his second quality start in that span, though he gave up two solo home runs and an RBI double to account for the scoring plays. The southpaw is now at a 3.52 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 130:50 K:BB over 140.2 innings over 24 starts this season, though he posted a mediocre 4.96 ERA across 32.2 innings in August. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Blue Jays.

Fried (8-7) yielded three runs (one earned) on four hits over five innings Monday, striking out seven and earning a win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Fried gave up a run in the first inning and held the Twins in check until they plated two unearned runs in the fifth. It was Fried's first win since June 23, snapping an 0-4 skid over his previous seven appearances. He's produced a 5.26 ERA across five starts this month since returning from the injured list. While Fried has been shaky throughout the year and hasn't quite looked like his usual self, he still owns a solid 3.50 ERA with a 126:46 K:BB through 133.2 innings. His next start is projected to be in Philadelphia this weekend.

Fried allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus Philadelphia on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Fried's longest and most effective outing since he returned from a forearm injury in early August. Still, his winless skid is up to seven starts, a span in which he's gone 0-4 with three no-decisions. Fried has allowed 15 runs (14 earned) across 20.2 innings in August. For the year, he's pitched to a 3.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:46 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 22 starts. His next start is projected to be at Minnesota.

Fried (7-7) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings in a loss to San Francisco on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Fried gave up two runs in the second inning and another in the sixth, which was more than enough for San Francisco to hand him a defeat on a day when Atlanta's offense was shut out. The southpaw did at least manage his longest outing over his three starts since returning from the IL on Aug. 4, and this was the first time he's given up fewer than four earned runs during that span. It's unclear if the forearm issue that landed him on the injured list is still bothering him, but Fried has a 7.90 ERA over the three starts since his activation.

Fried did not factor into the decision in a win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks over five innings while striking out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Fried struggled out of the gate, allowing at least three baserunners in each of the first three innings, leading to five runs coming across for Colorado -- though only four would be charged to the lefty due to one of the runners advancing on a passed ball. Fried did generate 12 whiffs on the night en route to recording his highest strikeout total since June 4 against the Red Sox. However, he's now allowed four or more runs in back-to-back starts since returning from the injured list and has issued at least three walks in five of his last seven outings (dating back to June 17).

Fried (7-6) took the loss Sunday against Miami, allowing five earned runs on four hits and five walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Fried (elbow) made his first start since July 11 and showed clear signs of rust, issuing five free passes and yielding five earned runs to a mediocre Marlins offense. The 30-year-old still owns a strong 3.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 101:39 K:BB across 111 innings this season, but it could take him a few outings to find his groove, especially with a road start in Coors Field looming next weekend.

Atlanta activated Fried (forearm) from the 15-day injured list for his start against the Marlins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander landed on the shelf July 21 due to forearm neuritis just before he was scheduled to make his first start of the second half, but it ended up being a brief absence. Fried is rejoining the rotation without a rehab assignment, so he could have some minor workload limitations in his first start since July 11 in Arizona.
