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.
Demoted after another rough start
The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
Fitts lasted only four innings in Monday's loss to the Twins and has consistently struggled to pitch deep into games for the Red Sox. 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.

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.
