Left-hander Max Fried will return from the injured list Saturday to face the Boston Red Sox, per MLB Trade Rumors. Fried was placed on the 15-day IL on Aug. 17 (retroactive to Aug. 14) with a bone bruise in his pitching elbow. The same injury cost him two months earlier in the season, but his recovery this time has been considerably shorter.

Deadspin reported that Fried will start one of Saturday's two games against Boston at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees and Red Sox are beginning a four-game series, with the opener scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
