DL Placements: Fried, Carle, Albers

By Kyle Downing | August 7, 2018 at 6:51pm CDT

A trio of pitchers have hit the disabled list this afternoon… here are the details.

  • The Braves have placed Max Fried on the DL with a left groin strain, the club announced. It’s a notable loss for a pennant-chasing Atlanta club, as Fried’s been excellent in four starts (nine total appearances) so far this season. Despite walking a whopping 16 batters in just 26 2/3 innings, Fried’s managed to post a tidy 3.38 ERA thanks in part to 34 strikeouts and a 50.8% ground ball rate. He’s benefitted from an 80.5% strand rate, but his whopping 23.1% HR/FB rate suggests a bit of bad luck in that department. Fried’s injury suggest that Atlanta will likely return to a traditional five-man rotation for the time being, utilizing Julio Teheran, Mike Foltynewicz, Sean Newcomb, Anibal Sanchez and the newly-acquired Kevin Gausman.
  • Simultaneously, the Braves have lost a valuable righty reliever to the DL in the form of Shane Carle (shoulder inflammation). Carle’s been fantastic out of the bullpen this season, posting a 2.53 ERA across 53 1/3 innings. The righty’s been used for four or more outs a whopping 14 times in 2018, so the club will surely miss his ability to eat late innings for the time being. In the absence of Fried and Carle, the Braves have recalled lefty Adam McCreery and righty Wes Parsons from Triple-A Gwinett.
  • The Brewers have unsurprisingly added righty reliever Matt Albers to their disabled list, owing to a left hamstring issue. It’s been clear that something isn’t right with the 35-year-old veteran, as he’s allowed a cataclysmic 18 earned runs across his past eight appearances spanning 5 1/3 innings dating back to the start of June. In the season’s first two months, though, Albers had allowed just three earned runs across 25 innings; the club will hope to get him right in time for him to make an impact out of their ’pen down the stretch. Recently-acquired right-hander Jordan Lyles will take Albers’ place on the active roster for the time being.

    I thought I saw Albers pull his hammy when he turned around too quickly to watch the ball fly out of the ballpark. Tough break…

        Yeah, “whopping” doesn’t seem to cut it for 18 earned runs allowed in 5..1 IP, but cataclysmic seems more appropriate.

    I’m wondering whether Shane Carle’s surprising run of success will make the return from his preseason trade more enticing. The Braves got Carle from the Pirates in January for a player to be named later or cash, and as far as I can tell, the return to the Bucs has not been decided upon yet.

      I could be wrong, but I believe, at the time of the trade’s completion, the Pirates were given a list of players to choose from or they were given the choice of cash…So, I don’t think his solid production since, will have any impact on what the Pirates eventually acquire..

    Fried has been performing well, but the kid can’t catch a break. It may be called a groin strain, but it resulted from getting hit by a line drive up the middle.

      Very true, he was just starting to overcome his battles fighting reoccurring blisters, and now this…

      When Fried is on and healthy, he’s a solid weapon for the Braves, but it just seems like he cannot stay healthy for whatever reason.

      He has an absolutely filthy curveball, his FB has great run to it, and he’s been developing his change-up to the point it’s become an above average pitch for Fried..

      With Fried taking his next steps, Newcomb coming on strong, Foltynewicz finally putting it all together, and Soroka showing a ton of promise and poise the Braves’ future rotation is looking excellent!!

      Beyond those 4, they still have Gausman for next season, and then they still have Gohara, Allard, Touki, AND Wright ALL waiting in the wings ALREADY at AAA NOW!! Not to mention Weigel, who should be coming back from TJ..Even though everyone has forgotten about Weigel, when he returns, it won’t be long before his nasty 98-100 MPH FB and nasty breaking ball make fans pay attention

      Anyways, a team can never have enough SP depth, and with how often injuries occur, their depth will be much needed moving forward..

      Either way though, it’s an exciting time to be a Braves’ fan right now!! Not to mention, with their incredible farm system, things are looking good for the foreseeable future!!

        The only “depth” I consider Kolby Allard a part of is BP. Dude is cruising 87mph straight down the middle consistently.

    Fried is starting to develop a reputation as being injury prone. When he’s healthy, he’s a great pitcher, but he’s already been on the DL more than once this season, and he’s young. It makes me wonder if these young pitchers are being mismanaged or overused in the minors.

      Fried’s injury history mainly started when he was with the Padres organization and had tommy john surgery. The injuries he’s had haven’t really been recurring issues just different situations arising. As such they are less of a concern than a chronic injury that happens repetitively in my,opinion.

    By the way Phillies got better. Wilson Ramos.Couldn’t we have claimed him on waivers just to keep him from them?
