He\u2019s pretty sore today,\u201d manager Alex Cora said. \u201cNo fracture but he wasn\u2019t going to be available for a while so he\u2019s on the IL.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"TYXWF2POMVGBLNKRU32K4THSJQ\">Criswell pitched well at Worcester, posting a 1.52 ERA in seven outings (six starts).

He took the loss against the Angels. It was Fitts\u2019 second start back from the IL.<\/p>\n<p id=\"U3QJUUYXHRGVLCYFAWLRDPS6VI\">He went three innings and 44 pitches last week in his first start back in Milwaukee. The plan was for him to go 75-80 pitches Monday. But the Red Sox removed him at 39 pitches after he was hit hard.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4OLOEJIOYRD3XAWYOSA4MQSWUQ\">\u201cWe were in the middle of extending him and to do that at this level after yesterday, it was going to be hard,\u201d Cora said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4ZZGKH3SBFHABJF5MMFUJ3YTXA\">Hunter Dobbins \u2014 who relieved Fitts on Monday and allowed just one run in 5 innings \u2014 will be moved back into the starting rotation.<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":R3f2q6:\">\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Triston Casas \u2018living (his worst nightmare\u2019 as he sets goal for return to Red Sox after knee injury<\/li>\n<li>Mike Trout has heartwarming moment with fan after Angels\u2019 win over Red Sox<\/li>\n<li>Despite Jarren Duran trade rumors, Red Sox and Padres an unlikely match<\/li>\n<li>Boston Red Sox\u2019 Kutter Crawford to get examined for \u2018wrist pain\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox put rookie back in rotation after Richard Fitts\u2019 poor start, demotion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
