September 13, 2024
Fitts allowed two hits and three walks over five shutout innings in a no-decision in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees. He struck out two.
ANALYSIS
After making his MLB debut this past Sunday against the White Sox, Fitts was needed to make a second turn through the rotation after Tanner Houck (shoulder) was scratched from his scheduled start Friday. Fitts walked three straight batters in the first inning but escaped the threat. Only one other Yankee would reach scoring position against him. Fitts has not allowed an earned run through 10.2 innings to begin his MLB career, but whether or not he gets another turn in the rotation may depend on Houck's status.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
MLB debut incoming?
PBoston Red Sox
August 21, 2024
Red Sox GM indicated Sunday that Fitts will be considered for major-league starts during the final six weeks of the season, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com.
ANALYSIS
Breslow cited the right-hander's strong performance in August, as he has a 2.12 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB across 17 innings through three starts. Fitts' 4.42 ERA and 3.2 BB/9 for the season are a bit less encouraging, but the improved results this month have put his big-league debut within reach.
