Fried isn't listed among the Braves' probable starters for their three-game weekend series with the Mets, suggesting he may have been dropped from the rotation, MLB.com reports.
After being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sept. 1, Fried was immediately inserted into the rotation as part of a six-man setup, making two starts with the big club. Though he performed respectably in the two outings, the Braves may be aiming to limit Fried's workload as the season winds down since he's already accumulated 108 innings across three levels, which represents his largest workload in any campaign since undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2014. It's unclear if the Braves will replace Fried in the rotation next week or simply go with five starters from here on out.
