Max Fried, who last pitched for the Braves a month ago before injuring his groin, was recalled by the club Thursday afternoon and will be active against Arizona tonight.
It’s unclear what kind of role Fried will have moving forward as he has experience pitching out of the rotation and the bullpen. A variety of injuries have plagued his big league career thus far, although he’s been impressive when his body cooperates.
Fried could be an option to start for the Braves on Sunday, where they will likely utilize one of their young pitching prospects to give everyone an extra day of rest.
