Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried won his salary arbitration case against the Braves on Wednesday, and he will receive $6.85 million this season instead of the $6.6 million that the team proposed back in March. Fried has been really good for Atlanta and his fantasy managers this year with a 2.77 ERA and 1.05 WHIP while striking out 83 and walking 15 in 87 2/3 innings over his 14 starts. The 28-year-old left-hander has been even better in his last five starts, posting a 1.93 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 32 2/3 frames. Fried has a tough matchup upcoming this weekend against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he's earned must-start status in 2022 in fantasy.
