Braves' Max Fried lands on IL with left forearm strain.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried has been placed on the injured list with a left forearm strain, which will require him to be shut down from throwing for at least a couple of weeks. The Braves will need at least a month to build him back up after he is cleared to begin throwing again. The team is already without Kyle Wright due to right shoulder inflammation, leaving the starting rotation in question. The Braves currently have Spencer Strider, Charlie Morton, and Bryce Elder in their starting rotation, and Jared Shuster, Dylan Dodd, and Michael Soroka are candidates to be brought up from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the rotation's two vacancies.
