Sept. 22 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Braves placed ace left-handed pitcher Max Fried on the 15-day injured list, ending his regular season just ahead of the playoffs, the team announced Friday.
The Braves said Fried has a blister on his left index finger. Atlanta called up right-handed pitcher Darius Vines from the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers to fill his place.
Fried allowed three hits and one run over six innings in a win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday in Washington, D.C. He told reporters after the game that the blister became bothersome toward the end of his appearance.
