Yankees Activate Max Fried for Wednesday Doubleheader vs. Pirates

The New York Yankees have announced that right‑hander Max Fried will start the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After Gerrit Cole opens the first matchup, Fried will take the mound to provide a fresh arm for the night.

The move adds depth to the Yankees’ rotation and aims to keep the team’s winning momentum alive. It also gives manager Aaron Boone more flexibility as the club pushes toward the postseason.
