Morning Java - 07/22: Fried Skips Rehab to Start Game 2, Witt Out with Back Spasm, Flaherty Hits the IL

Max Fried is being activated to start Game 2 of today's doubleheader against Pittsburgh, skipping his final rehab tune-up and leaving the Yankees to use Gerrit Cole in Game 1. Bobby Witt Jr. was scratched again with a lower back spasm and remains day-to-day without an IL move, while Jack Flaherty landed on the 15-day IL with right flexor inflammation that Detroit hopes is brief. Boston is still weighing Ranger Suárez's activation after holding him back as a precaution, and Fernando Tatis Jr. hit the longest home run of the MLB season in a reminder that his injury questions are behind him.
