Red Sox Face Challenges After Fitts' Injury Exit

Boston Red Sox pitcher Richard Fitts exited Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox with a right shoulder injury after pitching five scoreless innings. Despite his strong performance, Fitts was forced to leave after experiencing pain during the sixth inning, prompting manager Alex Cora to call for an MRI to assess the damage. Fitts, who has been crucial in the rotation due to injuries to Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito, lowered his ERA to 3.18 yet has not recorded a win this season. The Red Sox have struggled recently, losing five of their last six games, and could face further challenges if Fitts's injury requires a lengthy recovery. The team might consider utilizing pitchers from Triple-A Worcester, such as Hunter Dobbins or Cooper Criswell, to fill the potential gap in their rotation. The Red Sox's offensive struggles continue, highlighted by their lack of home runs and poor performance with runners in scoring position.
