Connelly Early to Start for Red Sox on Tuesday
Dustin May (undisclosed) had been penciled in to start, but he'll head to the 15-day injured list with an undisclosed issue, according to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. Early joined the Boston organization as a fifth-round pick in 2023, and MLB Pipeline now ranks the 23-year-old as the sixth-best prospect in the team's system. He has made 21 appearances (18 starts) between Double-A and Triple-A this season and pitched to a stingy 2.60 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP, 132 strikeouts, and 40 walks in 100 1/3 innings. Early will make his major league debut on the road in a hitter-friendly environment, West Sacramento's Sutter Health Park, and will take on a respectable offense. The A's rank 12th in the majors in runs and have put up the league's seventh-best OPS versus lefties.
