Max Fried Leads AL Cy Young Chase

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal’s surgery opened the door for Yankees’ Max Fried to top the AL Cy Young race, while Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani leads the NL.

Tarik Skubal’s indefinite elbow surgery has removed a key rival, propelling Max Fried to the forefront of the American League Cy Young conversation. In the National League, Shohei Ohtani continues to dominate as the Dodgers’ prime candidate. Fried’s strong 2025 season, highlighted by leading MLB in innings pitched and a high quality‑start percentage, positions him as the most viable AL contender now that Skubal, Garrett Crochet and Hunter Brown are injured. milkshakeslot.lat
