This performance marked a noticeable dip in effectiveness for Fried, whose season had been relatively solid with a 3.81 ERA and 1.19. The increase in hits allowed and the low strikeout total from this outing could raise concerns about his consistency, especially given his modest 7.1 K/9 rate this season. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of rebound or further regression, as his ability to limit walks and maintain a decent ERA will be crucial for his value.
