The Yankees placed Max Fried on the 15-day injured list due to an elbow bone bruise, but manager Aaron Boone expects a short absence, citing low-level inflammation. With a Wild Card spot likely secured, the team can afford caution, especially with Carlos Rodón as a replacement. Cody Bellinger is set to start a rehab assignment and may return to the MLB lineup this weekend, while Aaron Judge will begin a hitting progression this week, although no timeline for his return has been established.
