Struggles in abbreviated start
Tolle allowed two runs on three hits and struck out two over two innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.
Analysis
The plan was for Tolle to make an abbreviated start -- one time through the order -- after he threw three troubled innings (77 pitches) in his previous start Friday. Working on four days' rest. Tolle was touched for a home run in both innings, and the rookie has allowed four long balls in his last five innings. Teams appear to be sitting on Tolle's fastball, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. He's thrown fastballs 55.7 percent of the time, and cutters (a fastball variant) 24.7 percent of the time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line to see major-league action?
Tolle is a candidate to make his major-league debut for the Red Sox in 2025, per Sam Dykstra and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com.
Analysis
Tolle, who started the season in High-A Greenville, was promoted to Triple-A Worcester in early August after a brief stint in Double-A Portland. The 22-year-old southpaw has tossed 86.2 innings across all three levels while posting a 12.9 K/9 over that span. As of right now, there hasn't been any discussion between Tolle and the Worcester coaching staff about a move to the bullpen ahead of a potential MLB call-up. However, it's worth noting that Walker Buehler has been moved from the Red Sox's rotation to the bullpen for the rest of the season, so there could be a fit in the rotation.
