Atlanta Braves placed star pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list for a blister on his left index finger. The move means that Fried’s regular season is over.
Fried pitched for six innings in the Braves’ 10-3 win over the Nationals on Thursday night. He gave up only three hits and one home run and struck out seven.

“Outing felt great. Toward the end, the finger filled up with a little bit of fluid. Drained it. Kind of take it day-by-day,” Fried told reporters after Thursday night’s game.
