  "account": "Max Fried is set to leave the injured list and take the mound for the New York Yankees in Saturday's day-night doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox. The team has yet to determine which game Fried will start, with left-hander Carlos Rodón slated to pitch in the other affair. This marks Max Fried's second stint on the 15-day injured list this season, which was placed on Aug. 17, retroactive to Aug. 14, due to a left elbow bone bruise. He had previously been sidelined from May 14 until July 22 with the same injury. The three-time All-Star has been a standout pitcher this season, going 4-4 with a 2.81 ERA across 15 starts. This season is Fried's second with the Yankees, following his signing of an eight-year, $218 million contract. The Yankees were gearing up for a pivotal four-game series against the Red Sox, who currently trail by two games in the battle for the top American League wild card spot and home-field advantage in a potential best-of-three playoff series between the historic rivals. Aaron Judge, the Yankees' star outfielder, is still sidelined recovering from a broken rib, and the team is still without him. New York finds themselves four games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East standings.",
