Optioned to Triple-A The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Fitts recorded just three outs in Monday's loss to the Angels. He had not been fully stretched out after recovering from a pectoral strain, so he'll be given time to rebuild stamina at Worcester. Hunter Dobbins will enter Boston's rotation.

Records just three outs Fitts (0-3) took the loss after surrendering six runs, five of them earned, on four hits and one walk, making it through just one inning during Monday's 7-6 loss to the Angels. He...
Impact It went wrong almost immediately for Fitts. He allowed a home run to Zach Neto, the first batter of the game, then a three-run home run to Mike Trout and then another to Jo Adell all in the first inning. By the time he recorded his first out, the Angels had put up four runs, and they would add two more before the right-hander finished the inning. The 25-year-old entered the game having allowed just six runs in his 20 innings, but now his ERA is up to 4.71. Whether or not he'll stick in the rotation remains to be seen, but for now, he's scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Yankees.

Staying in rotation Fitts will start Monday's game against the Angels in Boston.
Impact With the Red Sox moving Hunter Dobbins to the bullpen last week, Fitts appears poised to hold down a spot in the rotation, at least until Boston gets Kutter Crawford (knee) and/or Tanner Houck (elbow) back from the injured list. After missing nearly six weeks due to a pectoral strain, Fitts returned from the IL last Tuesday. He started in the Red Sox's loss to the Brewers that day, but because he didn't get fully stretched out on his rehab assignment prior to being activated, Fitts was lifted after tossing three innings and 44 pitches. Fitts will likely be operating under a limited pitch count once again Monday in the first of what's expected to be two starts this week. The right-hander lines up for a second start this weekend against the Yankees on the road.

Goes three innings as starter Fitts tossed three scoreless innings Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out two.
Impact Fitts tossed just 44 pitches over three innings, as it was expected to be a short outing for the 25-year-old in his return from a pectoral strain. Even in a small sample, Fitts looked back to full health with an increased velocity on all his pitches, topping out at 97.1 MPH with his fastball. Over eight career starts, Fitts now owns a 2.21 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. Despite his success, it's likely Fitts is sent back down to Triple-A Worcester to continue to build up his pitch count unless the Red Sox decide to roll with a six-man rotation.

Activated, starting in Milwaukee The Red Sox reinstated Fitts (pectoral) from the 15-day injured list, and he will start Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Impact The right-hander was originally expected to make his second minor-league rehab start Tuesday, but he'll instead re-enter Boston's rotation after a six-week absence due to a pectoral strain. Fitts threw 38 pitches across three innings during his lone rehab appearance, so he'll likely have some workload limitations in his first couple outings back in the majors. He made three starts prior to the injury and had a 3.18 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB over 17 innings.

Set for second rehab start Fitts (pectoral) is expected to make a rehab start for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christoper Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Fitts made his first rehab start last Thursday, tossing three scoreless innings while allowing four hits with zero walks and two strikeouts for Double-A Portland. He threw 38 pitches (31 strikes). After a doubleheader Saturday, the Red Sox don't have an existing starter on regular rest for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, and the possibility exists that Fitts could be used. If so, that would likely be an abbreviated start given Fitts' current pitch count.

Rehab start on tap Fitts (pectoral) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact The right-hander has been sidelined over a month due to a pectoral strain, but he's now been cleared for game action. Fitts will likely need at least a couple rehab starts in the minors before rejoining the Red Sox. He pitched well in his three outings prior to the injury with a 3.18 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across 17 innings
