• Guardians' David Fry: Undergoes UCL surgery on elbow

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Fry underwent surgery Monday to repair the UCL in his right elbow, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. Fry initially injured his elbow in June but played through it for the rest of the season, although he was limited to designated hitter duty almost exclusively. He is expected to be ready to DH again in 6-to-8 months, but it will be 12 months before he's able to play the field again. Fry batted .263/.356/.448 with 14 homers during the regular season for the Guardians.

• Guardians' David Fry: Getting elbow checked out

  10/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fry will have his right elbow examined by Dr. Keith Meister in Texas next week, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. Fry had to exit a game back in late June due to right elbow inflammation. While he didn't require any additional time off, he made just one start at catcher and zero starts in the outfield after the injury. It's not yet clear whether he might need surgery, but more information on his status should be available following next week's exam. Fry slashed .263/.356/.448 with 14 home runs over 122 games during the regular season before adding an .869 OPS and two more homers during the playoffs for the Guardians.

• Guardians' David Fry: Lifts homer Monday

  09/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fry went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox. Fry has slipped into a part-time role in September, going 2-for-10 over four games this month. He made an impact with an increasingly rare start, giving the Guardians a 3-0 lead with a third-inning homer Monday. While it's been a solid year for Fry overall -- he's at a .260/.358/.448 slash line through 372 plate appearances -- he hasn't been able to hang onto an everyday role for a division-leading club.

  Fry went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rangers. Fry's power has picked up in August -- he's hit five homers this month, giving him 13 for the year. That's about the only thing trending in the right direction for the 28-year-old, who has been losing playing time since he's hitting just .175 (10-for-57) across 19 games this month. Overall, Fry has a .265/.364/.454 slash line with 46 RBI, 40 runs scored, 14 doubles and four stolen bases over 102 contests.

• Guardians' David Fry: Losing work against righties

  08/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fry is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees. Fry is on the bench for a fourth straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher (Gerrit Cole) and seems to have moved into a short-side platoon role while his bat has cooled down since the All-Star break. Jhonkensy Noel will occupy the designated-hitter spot Thursday, and he and Will Brennan should continue to get playing time against right-handers at Fry's expense.
