Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried will not start today due to possible COVID-19 exposure. The left-hander has been scratched from his scheduled outing against the Minnesota Twins. Manager Brian Snitker says Fried has not tested positive, but they’re being cautious. Fried went 7-and-0 with a 2.25 ERA during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He won 17 games in 2019.
