Fried threw 61 pitches in three innings and was followed into the tunnel leading into the clubhouse.<\/p>\n

Yankees<\/a> pitching coach Matt Blake immediately phoned the bullpen to get right-hander Paul Blackburn<\/a> warming up.<\/p>\n

“Max Fried is done for the day after three innings and 61 pitches,” MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch wrote<\/a> on X. “His command was shaky, which makes you wonder if it was a blister issue, something he’s dealt with in the past. More info to come.”<\/p>\n

Three runs came across to score in Fried’s three innings. Coby Mayo<\/a> lined a double past the diving Ryan McMahon<\/a> at third base in the bottom of the second.<\/p>\n
