4 years agoAtlanta Braves left-handed pitcher Max Fried (ankle) was a tenuous pick to start Game 1 of the club’s wild-card series versus Cincinnati after sustaining a sprained ankle in his final regular season start. Manager Brian Snitker revealed Tuesday that he’d be thrilled if Fried pitched “five innings, that’d be great,” indicating that the southpaw is far from 100 percent. With a cap of around five innings hanging over his head, DFS owners with multiple starting options Wednesday can likely look elsewhere despite Cincinnati’s low batting average during the regular season.--Jesse Borek
