Max Fried was already playing catch Tuesday in the Bronx, one hopeful sign that the Yankees' veteran lefty might return sooner than later.
Placed on the 15-day injured list due to another left elbow bone bruise, Fried's Monday MRI showed a low level of inflammation, per Yankees manager Aaron Boone.
"In a lot of ways,'' Fried is "close to being able to make his next start,'' Boone told reporters, including the YES Network on Tuesday, before the Yanks' three-game series opener against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Fried was sidelined earlier this year for 10 weeks due to an elbow bone bruise, returning to the Yanks' rotation on July 22.
That same timeframe would take Fried's recovery into the AL Championship Series, but Boone said it's "not like that'' previous injury.
