Richard Fitts was charged with six runs — five earned — over one inning on Monday in a loss to the Angels.
Holy schnikes. Fitts coughed up a staggering three homers, including a gargantuan 454-foot blast to Mike Trout, and was lifted after just 39 pitches (24 strikes) in his second start back from the injured list. It’s a bit perplexing why the Red Sox didn’t give him a couple additional rehab starts, especially with Hunter Dobbins holding his own at the highest level. We’re optimistic on Fitts from a long-term perspective, but he’s simply not ready to help fantasy managers right now.
