2025 Fantasy Outlook
Once the dust settles this offseason, Fitts may not project to crack Boston's Opening Day rotation, but he appears ready to step up when a need arises. The 24-year-old righty struggled to miss bats in his four-start run in the majors (6.4 SwStr%, nine Ks in 20.2 IP), but he also limited hard contact (1.4 Barrel%) en route to a 1.74 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. The ERA estimators were split on his work (xERA, FIP in favor, xFIP, SIERRA against), but his pitches popped on the Stuff+ model, particularly his mid-80s slider (121 Stuff+), while Location+ (104) and Pitching+ (106) were also bullish on Fitts. He logged a 4.17 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 15.0 K-BB% in 116.2 innings over 24 appearances at Triple-A. Fitts has logged over 135 innings in back-to-back seasons and could make double-digit starts in the majors this year with a slight chance at a breakout. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox in March of 2025.
Sent back to minors
The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
MLB debut incoming?
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.
