Max Fried, pitcher for the New York Yankees, will start in ALDS Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays regardless of whether his girlfriend gives birth soon. Despite being due any day now, Fried said over a Zoom call from Yankee Stadium that he has a supportive family and understands this is his job priority. He emphasized that personal matters won't impact his performance on Wednesday during an interview where he avoided discussing the "personal stuff." Yankees need to win Game 3 as it's critical for their season continuation, with some players already working out at the stadium ahead of the game.
