US EditionRed Sox Place Pitcher Richard Fitts on IL
Jovani Morán replaces Richard Fitts on the Red Sox active roster due to Fitts' right arm neuritis, with Morán holding a 3.54 ERA in 13 Triple-A outings this season.
- On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Richard Fitts on the 15-day injured list with right arm neuritis and recalled left-hander Jovani Morán from Triple-A Worcester to replace him.
- Fitts left Monday's win after four innings due to right biceps tightness, with Manager Alex Cora saying the issue involves the biceps and nerve and no MRI was scheduled as of Monday.
- Earlier this month, Jovani Morán spent seven games on Boston's roster Aug. 11-19 after Tommy John surgery, posting a 3.54 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 13 outings at Triple-A Worcester and allowing three runs in 4.0 innings over two Boston appearances.
- Boston earlier moved Walker Buehler from the rotation to the bullpen less than a week ago, altering the team's pitching depth amid Fitts's absence as setup man Justin Slaten and outfielder Rob Refsnyder aren’t expected to be activated Tuesday.
- Despite the injured-list move, Richard Fitts, 25, earned last night's win with six strikeouts over 4.0 innings but holds a 2-4 record and 5.00 ERA this season, framing Boston's assessment.
