New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried was extremely sharp on the mound during Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Fried was nearly untouchable in this game outside of a Michael Toglia triple to score a run in the fourth inning. The left-hander would throw 7 1/3 innings, allowing one earned run on six hits, while striking out seven hitters in the win. Fried improves to an unbelievable 7-0 with a 1.29 ERA as he threw his seventh quality start in his last eight appearances. He's slated to take the ball against the Los Angeles Dodgers next week.

New York Yankees left-hander continued his 2025 dominance on Sunday evening against the New York Mets. Although he walked away with a no-decision, he threw six innings, allowed two earned runs, three hits, two walks, and tallied eight strikeouts. Fried has made ten starts on the season and has yet to allow more than two earned runs in any of his starts. He now owns a 1.29 ERA in 62 innings pitched, a 23.9 strikeout percentage, and has firmly positioned himself to be in the running for the 2025 AL Cy Young Award winner, something the 31-year-old has not achieved in his career. Next up for Fried is an outing in Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried continued his dominant start to the season on Wednesday, tossing seven one-run innings in a tough luck no-decision against the San Diego Padres. The Yankees did end up winning the game 4-3, but it took extra innings. Fried was electric in this one, allowing just five hits while striking out eight and walking none. He has been nothing short of brilliant in his first season in New York, going 6-0 with a 1.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts in 51 IP so far. The lefty has also rattled off seven straight starts where he has allowed two runs or less, and six straight quality starts. Fried has become a top-tier pitcher in fantasy and is an absolute must-start every time he is out there. His next start is likely to come on the road on Monday in a tough matchup against the Seattle Mariners.
