Braves ace Max Fried placed on IL with strained left forearm

The Atlanta Braves placed ace pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list with a strained left forearm.

The roster move, announced Tuesday, marks the second IL trip this season for Fried, who also missed two weeks in April after suffering a hamstring injury on Opening Day. The Braves have not disclosed how long the All-Star left-hander will be sidelined or whether he will undergo further testing.

The Braves said the 15-day IL stint is retroactive to May 6, one day after Fried's most recent start Friday against the Baltimore Orioles.
