Overview

• MRI results confirmed a right anterior cruciate ligament tear that ends his rookie campaign.
• The Red Sox placed him on the 15-day injured list; they recalled right-hander Richard Fitts from Triple-A Worcester to fill his roster spot.
• Dobbins landed awkwardly covering first base in the second inning of Friday’s start at Fenway Park, exiting after just 27 pitches.
• His season mark included a 4-1 record with a 4.13 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 13 appearances.
• Boston does not need a fifth starter again until July 22, giving the club time to evaluate options such as Tanner Houck’s pending rehab assignment.
