Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried exited his Opening Day start against the Washington Nationals on Thursday with left hamstring discomfort, the team announced.
Fried was removed after 3 1/3 innings and 43 pitches. He gave up one run on four hits while striking out two batters. It was his third consecutive start on Opening Day for the reigning NL East champions.
Braves manager Brian Snitker and a team trainer went out to the mound to check on the left-hander, who threw one pitch to test his leg before heading toward the visiting dugout at Nationals Park.
Fried was replaced by Lucas Luetge with the Braves holding a 4-1 lead.
Fried, 29, is coming off an All-Star campaign in 2022, when he went 14-7 with a 2.48 ERA in 30 starts. He was the runner-up in voting for the NL Cy Young Award behind Miami's Sandy Alcantara.
He didn't allow a run in four spring training starts, striking out 19 in 14 1/3 innings.
