Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried (3-1) allowed three walks while striking out five over seven scoreless and hitless innings in Saturday's 4-1 win over the New York Mets. The 30-year-old was removed after 109 pitches. Braves manager Brian Snitker pulled Fried from continuing to pursue the individual no-hitter and turned to the bullpen to close it out. The team's no-hitter was broken when Raisel Iglesias surrendered a solo shot to J.D. Martinez during the ninth inning. Fried has been dealing lately and has not allowed a run in three of his last four starts. Overall, he owns a 3.57 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and a 37:17 K: BB across 45 1/13 innings in 2024. Fried has been pitching well recently and should remain in all fantasy lineups for his next start Friday against the San Diego Padres.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried continued to impress in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners. Coming off a complete-game shutout, Fried pitched six no-hit innings, allowing two walks and seven strikeouts. The 30-year-old got off to an extremely rough start to the season but is now 2-0 with a 4.02 ERA, a 7.18 K/9 rate, and a 3.16 BB/9 rate in six starts and 31 1/3 IP. He will be tested in his next projected start at the Dodgers. While it is a tough matchup, Fried's recent success may convince fantasy managers to roll with him.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried looked like his old self in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Marlins. Fried made the most of a favorable matchup, pitching a complete-game shutout with three hits, no walks, and six strikeouts on just 92 pitches. It was a great outing for the 30-year-old, who has struggled out of the gate this season. He is now 2-0 with a 4.97 ERA in his first five starts. He will look to build on his success in his next projected start, which will be at a middling Mariners lineup.

Hamstring and forearm injuries limited Max Fried to just 14 starts in 2023. When on the mound, Fried was still excellent with an 8-1 W-L record, 2.55 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 80ks (77.2 IP). Fried had remained relatively healthy in recent seasons as his 572.2 IP between 2019 and 2022 were the 19th most in baseball. He put up a 3.06 ERA in that period so has been consistently brilliant. Despite the injuries, Fried improved his strikeout numbers and his 25.7% K% was a career-high as a full-time starter. That also ranked in the 67th percentile so he shouldn't be overlooked for the pitchers with elite strikeout rates. His underlying numbers support another low ERA season in 2024. Fried had a 3.10 xFIP and 3.38 SIERA last season and now has a 3.23 xFIP and 3.50 SIERA over the last three years. The downside to drafting Fried is he's only reached 166.0 IP once in the Majors (185.1 IP in 2022). However, Fried did have 193.1 IP in 2021 including the postseason. Assuming he can stay healthy, Fried can be a top-five starting pitcher. Taking him as an SP1 comes with risk but it could pay off significantly.
