Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox in September of 2025.
Strikes out 11 in debut
Early (1-0) allowed five hits and one walk while striking out 11 over five shutout innings to earn the win Tuesday in the Red Sox's 6-0 victory over the Athletics.
Analysis
Summoned from Triple-A Worcester earlier Tuesday, Early stepped into the Boston rotation and spotted 61 of 90 pitches for strikes in his MLB debut. He got plenty of run support en route to scooping up the win, with the Red Sox scoring five of their six runs over the first two innings. Early posted a strong 132:40 K:BB across 100.1 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A prior to his promotion, so his ability to rack up 19 swinging strikes in his first outing in the majors perhaps isn't too surprising. Heading into Tuesday, Early wasn't expected to be guaranteed any further turns through the rotation, but he likely pitched well enough against the Athletics to earn himself at least one more start.
