Braves Notes: Tonkin, Fried, Ritchie
The Braves placed right-hander Michael Tonkin on the 15-day injured list today due to a neck strain, with Dylan Dodd called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move. Tonkin’s IL placement is retroactive to May 24. Tonkin has a 3.42 ERA over 26 1/3 innings out of Atlanta’s bullpen this season, with a solid 5.8%…
May 26 · MLB Trade Rumors Atlanta Braves Max Fried Michael TonkinMax Fried Plays Catch Thursday
Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried (forearm) played catch on flat ground on Thursday. Once Fried begins building up his arm again, he'll start throwing bullpen sessions, live batting practice and making minor-league rehab starts like he's going through another spring training, so he won't be back in the big leagues for some time. Still, fantasy managers should be encouraged that the 29-year-old southpaw has been cleared to begin his throwing program. Fried has been shut down for over two weeks with a left-forearm strain. If everything goes well with no setbacks, there's a chance he could rejoin Atlanta's starting rotation before the end of June. Fried was pitching like an ace before his injury and should remain stashed in all fantasy formats.

Atlanta Braves Max FriedMax Fried Close To Resuming Throwing
Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried (forearm) is close to resuming throwing, so it seems realistic to expect him back sometime around the All-Star break in early July. Fried was placed on the injured list with a strained left forearm two weeks ago, and he was recently cleared to resume lifting weights. Fantasy managers are going to need to remain patient with the 29-year-old southpaw, and he should remain stashed in all formats. Once he begins throwing bullpen sessions again, he'll eventually need to go on a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment as well. Getting Fried back at any point in July might be a best-case scenario for the Braves and fantasy managers. Before the injury, he had gone 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA (3.06 FIP), 1.08 WHIP, six walks and 25 strikeouts in 26 innings over just five starts.

According to Braves manager Brian Snitker, starting pitcher Max Fried (forearm) has been lifting weights. The left-hander has been on the 15-day injured list after suffering a strained forearm. There was talk he'd miss a few months. However, the fact he's at least doing something is a positive sign. Fried had played well before going down with the injury, compiling a 2-1 record (five starts) with a 2.08 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 26 innings. Without a doubt, plenty of fantasy managers are waiting for the 29-year-old to return, so he's worth a stash until that happens.

Atlanta Braves Max Fried (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained left forearm on Tuesday. It was unclear how long he would be on the shelf in the initial reports, but according to Fox Sports: MLB, the left-hander will miss at least two months with the ailment. That's a huge blow to the Braves and fantasy managers, as Fried has developed into a fantasy ace over the past couple of seasons. This year, the 29-year-old owns a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and six walks over five starts and already missed time in April with an injury. Fantasy managers should be stashing Fried in every league, hoping that he'll come back at the two-month mark.
