Fried is dealing with a bone bruise on his throwing (left) elbow, which will sideline him for at least a few more weeks as he ramps up baseball activities. Before going on the IL, Fried was in the middle of a stellar sophomore season in pinstripes, tossing a total of 61 2\/3 innings (10 starts) with 50 strikeouts, a 3.21 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.005.
