Atlanta placed Fried on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left forearm.
Atlanta had been cagey about whether Fried would be making his next start and now we know what he's been dealing with. The move is retroactive to Saturday, which means Fried will be eligible to return May 21. He's not going to be ready by then, though, with Mark Bowman of MLB.com saying "this won't be a short-term IL." Jared Shuster projects as the rotation replacement for Fried on Wednesday versus the Red Sox.
