All 17 of Fitts' appearances between the majors and minors this season have been as a starting pitcher, but the Red Sox plan to deploy him as a reliever during this stint. The big righty posted a 3.00 ERA and 16:7 K:BB over 15 frames covering his last three starts with Worcester.

Demoted after another rough start The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Fitts lasted only four innings in Monday's loss to the Twins and has consistently struggled to pitch deep into games for Boston. The Red Sox have not revealed who will take Fitts' spot in the rotation, but it seems likely that it will be someone they acquire before Thursday's trade deadline.

Struggles with control Monday Fitts didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Twins, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out two.
Impact Despite allowing seven players to reach base, Fitts was at least able to limit the damage Monday. The right-hander's three walks were one short of a season high, and he's hurled at least five innings just one time over his last seven starts. Fitts holds a shaky 4.83 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB over 41 innings, and his next turn in Boston's rotation projects for a tough home matchup versus the Astros this weekend.

Twins top Red Sox 5-4 on 2-run single in 9th by Brooks Lee after 90-minute rain delay

Brooks Lee hit a two-run single off Jordan Hicks in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Minnesota Twins a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox after a 90-minute rain delay

Getting another start Fitts is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Twins at Target Field.
Impact Despite getting roughed up for four earned runs over just 3.1 innings in a loss to the Phillies in his return to the Boston rotation last week, Fitts will get at least one more start for the big club. Though injuries to Tanner Houck (elbow) and Hunter Dobbins (knee) may have extended Fitts' leash in the rotation, the Red Sox could call up Cooper Criswell or Kyle Harrison from Triple-A Worcester to replace him as the team's No. 5 starter if Fitts turns in another subpar performance Monday.

Alex Bregman hits 2-run HR, Red Sox take series vs. Dodgers with 4-3 win

Alex Bregman hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth inning and the Boston Red Sox hung on to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 Sunday for a series win
JULY 27, 2025 • Associated Press
Chased early Tuesday Fitts (1-4) took the loss Tuesday as the Red Sox fell 4-1 to the Phillies, surrendering four runs on six hits over 3.1 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
Impact Solo homers by Max Kepler and Kyle Schwarber in the second inning put the game out of reach for Boston, as Cristopher Sanchez was busy tossing a 12-K complete game for Philly. Fitts has served up seven long balls in 17 innings over his five big-league appearances and 17 innings since the beginning of June, fueling a 7.41 ERA, but with Tanner Houck (elbow) shut back down indefinitely and Hunter Dobbins (knee) lost for the season, there's no obvious internal replacement for Fitts in the Red Sox rotation. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road early next week in Minnesota.

In line to start Tuesday Fitts is scheduled to start Tuesday against Philadelphia, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact After Hunter Dobbins was ruled out for the season due to a torn ACL, Fitts was called up from Triple-A Worchester to fill his spot on the roster. Fitts will also claim Dobbins' spot in the rotation, at least in the short term. Tanner Houck (elbow) seems to be nearing a return from the injured list and could also be a rotation option at some point after he's ready for game action.

Back in Boston The Red Sox recalled Fitts from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.
Impact With Hunter Dobbins set to miss the rest of the season with a torn right ACL, Fitts will come up from the minors to fill the void in the big-league rotation. The 25-year-old has already made eight starts for Boston this season, posting a 4.28 ERA and 1.22 WHIP to go with a 28:10 K:BB through 33.2 innings.

Back in Boston The Red Sox recalled Fitts from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.
Impact With Hunter Dobbins set to miss the rest of the season with a torn right ACL, Fitts will come up from the minors to fill the void in the big-league pitching staff. The 25-year-old has already made eight starts for Boston this season, during which he's accumulated a 4.28 ERA and 1.22 WHIP to go with a 28:10 K:BB through 33.2 innings. It's unclear if he'll get a chance to make a start for the Red Sox with Tanner Houck (elbow) looking to return from the IL shortly after the All-Star break, but Fitts could also act as a long-relief option.

JULY 8, 2025 • BOSTONHERALD.COM
Sent back to minors The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact With Hunter Dobbins (elbow) likely to return later this week and the All-Star break looming, Fitts will head to Worcester where he can remain on a regular starter's schedule. He could rejoin the rotation after the break, although it's not a guarantee since Tanner Houck (elbow) is nearing a return.
