The Atlanta Braves will be without ace Max Fried for a short while after he was placed on the 7-day Concussion IL on Thursday. Fried’s IL stint will be retroactive to August 8, so the left-hander could return to action one week from that date, lining him up to potentially pitch again on August 15. In a corresponding roster move, the Braves promoted Jay Jackson from Triple-A Gwinnett to replace Fried on the active roster, according to Dave O’Brien of The Athletic.
