Fried will start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, David O'Brien of The Athletic Atlanta reports.
Fried was expected to receive another turn in the rotation for one of the two contests, but his spot appears tenuous after the Braves acquired Kevin Gausman on Tuesday. Following Fried's next outing, a move to the bullpen or a demotion to Triple-A appear to be the scenarios on the table.
