Fantasy Impact:

Despite the Braves pulling off a victory, Fried's performance was less than stellar, marking a slight hiccup in what has been a solid season. His ERA ticked up to 3.56, and while his nine strikeouts were impressive, the hits and walks he allowed this game could be concerning for fantasy managers relying on his usually steadier hand. Moving forward, Fried's ability to bounce back in his next starts will be crucial for those counting on him as a reliable starter in their fantasy rotations. His season-long metrics like a 1.24 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 still suggest he has the tools to overcome this blip, but consistency will be key.
