Max Fried
It’s unclear why Max Fried has a bone bruise in his left elbow, and I’ll explain the most likely reason below.
What’s important to understand is that this could be due to injury to the UCL, but usually they would announce that. Hopefully his UCL is intact.
The most common reason to have a bone bruise in the pitching elbow is due to Valgus Stress Overload, where the throwing motion creates massive valgus force at the elbow.
This then causes a combination of Medial tension + lateral compression simultaneously.
Two bones, the radial head and capitellum get compressed together on the lateral side. Essentially the bones are being driven into each other repetitively, causing the bone bruise (see an example below).
I wouldn’t be surprised if they shut him down for 1-2 weeks then get new imaging (MRI) and if ok start ramping him back up.
I expect him to probably miss at less 3-4 weeks, but if there is no damage to the UCL then overall great news.

Hey @ReedTimmerUSA while you wait on the storms in northeast Arkansas, come catch some baseball at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. We’ve got Philly cheesesteak on the grill for you and your crew.
Props to Lindsey for having the guts to go out and compete. Her and her team understood the risk of competing without an ACL. I don’t think a torn ACL is the only reason she crashed but it’s hard to think it didn’t play a role especially with a reported left tibia fracture.
Lindsey Vonn underwent surgery Sunday on a left leg fracture she suffered at the outset of her run in the women's downhill final.
Vonn, 41, was competing just nine days after suffering an ACL tear.
Anatomy w/ sport injuries 2
Nick Chubb: hyperextension injury to L knee in college. PCL, MCL, LCL tears due to excessive posterior translation of the tibia on the femur with a planted foot. 8 years later ACL/MCL tear due to valgus and anterior tibia translation on femur.
