Entering the game on Tuesday against the Nationals, Max Fried was probably on the outside of the top five for the Atlanta Braves starting rotation.
I haven’t done a great job of talking about Fried enough this Spring Training, but after his performance on Tuesday, he now looks like a lock for the rotation.
Part of the reason I haven’t given him serious consideration is because he’s come out of the bullpen in his last two appearances in Spring Training.
But he got the start on Tuesday against the Nationals — his third appearance against the division rival this Spring — and he put together a great line.
